  • NARA note: After the von Ribbentrop albums (series 242-JRA and JRB) were seized, the US Army copied photographs from them relating to major German diplomatic events. In most cases, therefore, these prints are duplicates of those in series 242-JRA and 242-JRB and should be used in conjunction with these series. One notable exception is the group of photographs showing the signing of the Nazi-Soviet Pact in 1939. The photographs were copied from an album not included in the accession. Box 6, the last box of records includes six packets of original prints and news clippings apparently collected by the US Army. There are copy negatives for only a few of the prints. Total items including dupes - ca. 1600 prints; 127 negatives.
