The Textual Reference Archives II Branch (RR2RR) has custody of the Records of the Office of the Judge Advocate General Army (Record Group 153). Searching the finding aids within this group returned two different Entries with information on Bad Orb.

Both of these Indices have been digitized onto our online catalog. You are able to search within each Series for Bad Orb.

Additionally if you are looking for information on a specific prisoner we have available Record Group 389 - Records of the Office of the Provost Marshal General, 1920-1975.

We hope this assists you with your research and we invite you to continue the conversation with community members on History Hub, but should you have follow up questions for the staff at Archives II, please email us at archives2reference@nara.gov so that we can assist you further.
