- Abstract
- To obtain and preserve abailable basic data on World War II fires in Germany, the authors visited (under the United States Office of Civil Defense sponsorship) key locations and authorities in Germany and the United Kingdom in February and March 1965. This report describes the locations and authorities visited and summarizes the types of recorded data that were found, as well as the results of conversations during the visit. Data gathered remain the property of the United States; they will be collated at Stanford Research Institute and will serve as input to future analytical studies by the Office of Civil Defense and its contractors.
