Thanks so much for your response. I'm thrilled to have another viable avenue of research on my grandfather's military experience. I followed your link and saw what you were talking about concerning requests. I'm disappointed that they aren't taking general requests (however those requests had a year to a year and a half response time, so it's not like I've lost a speedy opportunity). I may still go ahead and contact them about how much longer it will be before the archives are reopened. I suspect they are currently being digitized (like was done with the WWI archives) and will be reopened when they are searchable online. That will be very exciting.

I will certainly follow up on the Deutsche Dienststelle. Thank you for pointing out my error/confusion. I was thinking of the website you referenced when I posted. Don’t know why I called it Bundesarchiv, when my quick search just now clearly pointed out that they’re two different things.
