PRIVATE COLLECTIONS
The majority of documents used in this work are from the above named archives. I thank
Ben Thustek and the
Grenzlandmuseum
Eichsfeld in Teistungen for helping me get in
touch with several
Eichsfelder,
some of whom have shared some private documents with me.
In the book, documents have been used from three private collections. Two of the owners
requested to remain anonymous. The third is Siegfried Schmidt from Duderstadt, a long¬
time official, now retired, of the district of Duderstadt.
