[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] DAI, was EWZ

[Dave Obee]

I have seen Deutsches Ausland Institut documents at the Bundesarchiv in Koblenz, and I have checked the DAI microfilm held by the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, and I have copies of the four DAI microfilms from Library and Archives Canada.

You say that DAI documents from eastern Volhynia are online. What is the URL?

Thanks

Dave Obee
