Selection of interesting FIAT - CIOS and BIOS reports
(update 31 March 2006)
B.I.O.S. = British Intelligence Objective Sub-Committee (shown
below)
B.I.O.S. MISCELLANEOUS = Mixture of various BIOS topics (shown
very below)
C.I.O.S. = Combined Intelligence Objectives Sub-Committee
F.I.A.T. = Field Information Agency Technical (United States
Group Control for Germany)
These remarkable papers had been made between 1944 and about
1949
FIAT and CIOS reports were both based on joined British - American
investigations, covering German Science and Industrial Institutions. It covers a
very wide variety of subjects. I have selected the ones that should have
significance regarding the objectives of our Foundation. Consequently, it does
not claim to be complete and the selection has been my personal choice.
Some papers consist of five pages only, whereas other reports may
have several hundred pages.
Subject details can be found in my quick: Subject reference dbase (pdf 1.5 MB)
This keyword dbase reflects my personal
digital archive (17700 lines, 425 pages). It was started in 1986 though, it was
never intended to be consulted by others. Owing to this, it grew step by step
over the years, and I used three different languages occasionally (Dutch,
German and English). However, all what is worth to be remembered can be found in
this dbase, by simply entering a keyword. To show only relevant data at a single
page (instead of jumping between page sections), I had to omit our archive
reference data. One may enter, for instance, bios, cios, fiat, ... . Please
notice, that this dbase grew organically, and keyword references may be
scattered! All keywords stored will pop-up (being marked). It is also
possible, to enter any keyword you like. It might be necessary, when you can't
get a hit, to select: surging in parts of a word, and give it a try again.

Auer Gesellschaft had been engaged in Germany's Uranium Oxide production. The
Americans layed their hands on some quantities of this material (as did the
Russians), which they have used for their early atomic bombs dropped over Japan
in 1945. These circumstances only became common knowledge after several decades
had past.
