19recordgroups (RGs), each of which signifies records of one discrete
government agency. For the researcher, it is useful to think of these in
terms of clusters of related agencies and record groups. This can be
illustrated by the cluster of agencies involved in liberating the
Mauthausencomplex.WartimeintelligencewascollectedbytheOffice
of StrategicServices(RG226),theU.S.StrategicBombingSurvey(RG
243),andtheU.S.AirForceOfficeof Directorof Intelligence(RG341).
