An extensive research in the Lithuanian archives allowed finding documentation which turned out to be interesting also in the context of other investigations. The documentation will make it possible to identify the names of people murdered in Ponary. The archival materials in German include codified information concerning the selection of victims who were later executed. Breaking the code was possible due to the co-operation with the Zentralle Stellung in Ludwigsburg. The aim of the investigation is to reconstruct unknown facts and circumstances of the crimes committed against Poles. The accumulated evidence constitutes 30 volumes of records.
