    Thank you for posting your question to History Hub!

    Unfortunately, we have not been able to locate the requested documents based on the citations provided.  Records at the National Archives are rarely described at the document level.  That being said, we have located several series of records within the Records of Allied Operational and Occupation Headquarters, World War II (Record Group 331) that may contain your records of interest.
    Since the citations mention the Civil Property Custodian and "FP," we have located three organizations that are under the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, Civil Property Custodian, Operations Division, Foreign Property Branch:
    We attempted to identify the repeating numbers "580.2" and "632.2," but were unable to locate any of these numbers mentioned on the file unit level of the records in RG 331, nor did these numbers associate with your subject matter in the War Department Decimal File System.  
    We will be happy to make the records and their finding aids available to you or your representative in the Textual Research Room (Room 2000) here at the National Archives at College Park, Maryland. Please visit our website for information about visiting the National Archives in College Park, MD, including how to schedule a research visit.
     
    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.

    We hope this assists you with your research!

    Sincerely,
