Where can I download the official 1946 U.S. Government publication 'Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression' that contains PS‑446?

1. Where the official Red Series lives online — Internet Archive and its PDF volumes

The Internet Archive hosts complete, bookmarked PDF reproductions of the Red Series (Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression) and offers individual volume pages from which users can download or stream the original Government Printing Office editions, which are presented as the full documentary compilation used by American and British prosecuting staffs at Nuremberg ^{[1] [2]}. These Archive items are described as PDF volumes with navigation aids and are explicitly tied to the U.S. Office of Chief of Counsel compilation published by the U.S. G.P.O. in 1946 ^{[1] [2]}.

2. For single‑volume eBook formats — Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg provides at least Volume I of Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression in HTML, EPUB, and plain text formats, digitized and proofread by volunteers, making it convenient for ebook readers and full‑text searching; the Gutenberg record identifies the work as the Office of United States Chief of Counsel for the Prosecution of Axis Criminality and dates the material to the Nuremberg proceedings of 1946 ^{[6] [3] [7]}. Gutenberg’s offerings are useful for quick access to searchable text, though users seeking the entire multi‑volume set should pair Gutenberg’s volumes with the Archive or Library of Congress holdings ^[3].

3. The authoritative catalog record and Library of Congress copy

The Library of Congress catalog lists the U.S. Government Printing Office 1946 edition and has digitized the military legal resources collection, noting no known copyright restrictions on these government materials and offering electronic reproductions for research use — making the LOC a high‑confidence authoritative source for the official text ^{[8] [4]}. The LOC entries assign the work to the United States Office of Chief of Counsel and record the multi‑volume structure including supplements and the opinion and judgment volumes ^[8].

4. Scholarly cross‑references — HathiTrust, Stanford, Harvard Nuremberg project

HathiTrust catalog entries and major research libraries such as Stanford’s SearchWorks record the GPO publication details and holdings for the series, and the Harvard Nuremberg Documents viewer specifically cites Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression as the textual source for documents labeled like “2861‑PS,” which demonstrates that individual PS‑numbered exhibits (including PS‑446 when present) are excerpted from or reproduced in these volumes ^{[9] [10] [5]}. Those institutional catalogs help researchers confirm edition, pagination, and where within the multi‑volume set a given PS item is located ^{[9] [10]}.

5. Practical download guidance and verification

To download the official 1946 publication that contains PS‑series items: consult the Internet Archive volume pages for direct PDF downloads of individual volumes or the full set ^{[1] [11]}, use Project Gutenberg for ebook formats of volumes it hosts ^[3], and cross‑check bibliographic and digitized copies via the Library of Congress and HathiTrust catalogs to verify edition and completeness ^{[4] [9]}. For researchers seeking to locate a specific PS number such as PS‑446, the Harvard Nuremberg Documents project can be used to identify the document and then trace its citation back to the exact Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression volume and page ^[5].

6. Source transparency and caveats

All cited repositories identify the material as U.S. Government Printing Office publications from 1946 ^{[8] [2]}, and institutional metadata indicates these are reproductions of the official Red Series; however, this reporting relies on the provided digital catalogs and project citations — if confirmation of a particular PS number’s page image or folio is required, consult the specific volume PDF on Internet Archive or the LOC digital item for page‑level verification ^{[1] [4] [5]}.
