Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched the National Archives Catalog and located several series and file units regarding “Operation Dragoon”. We also located four file units in Records of the Office of Strategic Services (Record Group 226) from Caserta and Washington under the code name “Operation Dragoon.” Without going through each file unit and/or series, we are unable to determine which one may contain the information you seek.
For access to these records, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!

Ruth Plowden Sep 20, 2018 9:29 AM (in response to Rebecca Collier)I am sorry for this very stupid additional question but I am new to research in the US. Are these records and the others I asked about in a previous question only available in Washingtonor could I view them in other National Archives eg in New York?
Thank you in advance
Ruth
