Dear Mr. Jaramillo,
thank you for your inquiry to the Militaergeschichtliches Forschungsamt
(MGFA) in Potsdam.
MGFAAnfragen@bundeswehr.org
The main task of the MGFA is doing basic historical research in German
military history of the 20th century. For this purpose our institute
possesses a large library but not an archive.
As regards your first request for photos of the German Embassy in Madrid
during the Third Reich I recommend you contact the Politisches Archiv des
Auswärtigen Amtes (Political Archive of the German Foreign Office):
117-r@auswaertiges-amt.de. Otherwise I suggest you contact the department
in charge of the picture archive at the Bundesarchiv (Federal Archive) in
Koblenz:
koblenz@barch.bund.de.
As regards your second request for information about the arrival of
Commander Brandi at the German Embassy in Madrid or in Berlin. For
information to his person you should ask at the Federal Military Archive in
Freiburg:
militaerarchiv@barch.bund.de.
Sincerely
in order
Berger,
Captain.
