German trade statistics?

War Trade Board Statistics 1914-1918

• For tutuzdad-ga only. Re Question id# 155461. My original question, #1853634, Subject: War Trade Board Statistics 1914-1918, expired recently, and I never was able to read your Request for Question Clarification before expiration. Study of your research efforts has been a great help to me in planning a visit to NARA, College Park. Your administrator has offered the opportunity to post a separate question for you, and in that way you will be compensated for your efforts. My biggest challege at NARA will be to zero in on the best shelf full of data. My inclination is to aim for "Statistics" in Record Group 182.10, which is advertised at 72 linear feet of space. I found this on the same website that you referenced in your research on my behalf. If you have any further guidance, I would appreciate it at your convenience. My plan is to visit NARA in early June 2003. I wish you well. submariner-ga
