Very interesting, thanks for the post. Where did the papers come from? I recall there being a German POW camp north of town near Hearne.

I'm not sure where the papers came from but it wasn't from the POW camp. I assume they were gathered in Germany after the surrender. There was a movie called "The Formula," starring George C. Scott, made at that same time and it was about the "secret" Nazi papers.
