How do I find the digitalised denazification interviews, completed Fragebogens, from WW2?

I am researching the completed interview with US officials of a German citizen post WW2 in the German occupied zone. A Fragenbogen and later, a Meldebögen was required from all teachers in order to continue their profession. This was an essential part of the denazification programme of the Allies. This person taught before and during the war and gained a position in Heidelberg after the war. I have followed the reference NARA, R260, OMGUS and Fragenbogen 1945-48 but drew a blank. what am I doing wrong?

Dear Ms. Fletcher-Tomenius,

Thank you for your question to the HistoryHub. You are correct in assuming that these records would be contained within Record Group 260: Records of the U.S. Occupational Headquarters, World War II. When we conducted a search of our online catalog using "fragebogen" as a keyword search within Record 260. It is likely that the series you are looking for is Fragebogen Files relating to Denazification, 1945-1948. Unfortunately, these files haven't been digitized. These records are in the custody of the National Archives in College Park, MD. If you are looking for specific people, please email them at archives2reference@nara.gov. Best of luck in your research!
