Just a quick update to let people know that the index for the signature database has been given a massive update with all names now having links to their entries, and thanks to Dave Danner there has been a huge increase in signatures from the pre-Third Reich era. As of this moment there are 1,300 individual entries in the database so thank you to everyone who has contributed.

You would probably be best off hiring a researcher although obviously that will cost a few hundred to a few thousand Euros depending on how much there is and how long it takes to copy. I have used Benjamin Haas to access the Bundesarchiv and he is good (he was able to copy 2,000 pages for me at a cost of 500 Euros.) He is happy to answer any questions you may have: https://archivrecherchehaas.neuerplan.org/en/
