I have finally decided which tunnel to focus on for the dissertation. After finally getting up the nerve, I called Dr. Wagner at the Mittelbau-Dora Concentration Camp Memorial to ask his opinion on which tunnel to focus on. He graciously and patiently listened to my bumbling German and suggested I focus on the tunnel sites at Porta Westfalica.<\/p>\n

Herein enters the difference that new media provides in researching a topic. What’s the first thing I do? Search on Google, of course. I found a few interesting sources right off the bat, and after digging deeper, even more surfaced.<\/p>\n

I searched for ‘Porta Westfalica Ambi-Budd’ because Ambi-Budd was the business assigned to the tunnels at Porta Westfalica. I got some interesting results:<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, there are hundreds of web pages out there with those three terms on them (including this one).<\/p>\n

Here are some of the more interesting links I found.<\/p>\n

I’ll make sure to go to the Neuengamme archive and memorial site this summer.<\/p>\n

The following links could provide connections to sources, but also will be a source in and of themselves. I want to write about what has happened since 1945 with this tunnel, and it looks like a lot of “online” things have been happening. This shows that these tunnels are still of interest today. Why? Well, that’s what I’ll write about in the dissertation.<\/p>\n

There are many more. I sure do have my work cut out for me.<\/p>\n
