Formerly Security-Classified Numerical Series of Intelligence Documents ("ID File") June 1944-1955 (Entry 85A) Arranged numerically (1-948,410) with some additional subseries and bulky files located at the end of the series. The "ID" files, which succeeded the wartime "regional files," relate for the most part to the postwar period; ID numbers 1-205000 are most pertinent for the period June 1944-September 1945. Despite the indicated date period, a number of reports furnish intelligence with effective dates as early as 1942. As with the regional files, the "ID" materials constitute records originated by the Military Intelligence Service and its subordinate organizations, together with intelligence data supplied by other U.S. Army, Navy, and civilian organizations and by British and other Allied intelligence agencies. Many individual reports in this series have been withdrawn or transferred to other intelligence collections, usually indicated by a withdrawal sheet.

Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) Collection

The predecessor of the Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) was the Military Intelligence Service's Counterintelligence Branch (before March 1942 designated the Counterintelligence Branch, G-2), which supervised the general counterintelligence activities of the CIC detachments in the field. CIC Detachments were quite active in post-war activities in Germany and Austria in efforts to locate war criminals, Nazi records, and looted property. Many of NARA's holdings concern investigations of foreign individuals and organizations during and after the war. Declassified records have generally been "sanitized" to protect security-classified information and still remain subject to NARA restrictions on privileged information.

Records of the Investigatory Records Repository The records of the Investigatory Records Repository (IRR) are arranged in two series: the impersonal and the personal name files.
