hucks216 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Can't say that I know of where to look but would the German Embassy be able to help with a list? Not sure where such a request would lay with regards to the German data privacy laws but it isn't as if you are asking for addresses of family etc. This book might be helpful. It seems to have a list of 400 Nazi party members in the UK pre-war so would include diplomats I would assume: http://www.sussex-academic.com/sa/titles/history/barnes.htm Edited November 25, 2018 by hucks216 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, the Auswärtige Amt (German Foreign ministry) has it´s own archive, there should also be handbooks to look this up in. Why not drop them a line?

Regards, Gordon Gordon, You have been given very good suggestions above. I have one more, though it may not give you a conclusive list. If you can, check the medal rolls of the George VI Coronation Medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Wilkinson Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 The archives of the Foreign & Commonwealth office would also contain this information. I suspect that such papers would be currently held at the National Archives, Kew. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 Gentlemen, Thanks for these additional suggestions. I have had a friend check the medal roles for the George VI Commemoration and there were no awards to foreigners listed. This answers my question and the original reason for posting the request. As usual,I learned a lot from my research. My thanks again to all who participated in this thread. Regards, Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
