    Only 47 million files stored in the spa town of Bad Arolsen hold meticulously recorded information on forced labourers, concentration camp victims and political prisoners.....

    The question is how much will be opened up for research and what percentage of those documents will still have parts censored? This information has been locked away far too long and should had been released years ago.

    I think what we all really want to see is the former Soviet archives opened up.

    In the book "Ivan´s war" the author mentioned something like 2020 that they "might" open.

    Interesting, but whats more interesting may be the files that arent there, those that were purged or never stood the test of time.
