About this item
- Content
The volume contains correspondence regarding the movements and activities of the Central Powers in Persia [Iran] and Afghanistan between December 1916 and May 1920. The correspondence is particularly concerned with German agents captured in Persia and imprisoned in India, and with the retrieval of German papers left behind in Herat, Afghanistan.
The volume includes extracts from the diary of Walter Griesinger detailing the German mission to Afghanistan led by Oskar von Niedermayer in 1914-16. The primary correspondents are: Government of the German Empire; War Office; Directorate of Military Intelligence; British Consulate General, Meshed; Government of India.
The volume contains three items in German: a list of German military personnel active in Persia in February 1916 written by the German Military Attache, Tehran (ff 55-56); and two letters from the German Government relating to Niedermayer’s mission (ff 107 and 123-124).
The volume includes a divider which gives the subject number, the year the subject file was opened, the subject heading, and a list of correspondence references by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
