There are a few German readers/speakers on here.
Are you able to scan the documents?

Hi and welcome to RootsChat...that's a great offer...we get many German documents on here that need translating...especially POW documents.

Hi nissank,

I am very often checking German and international databases concerning the holocaust.

I have lost a distant relative in the Buchenwald KZ.

You might sent me names by Personal Message (Button below the avatar)

Good luck Rudolf
