Abstract
This article is designed to provide information regarding the developm ent of punched card technology for use in both census and commercial a pplications. After describing the different types of technology and ho w they were used, this article provides a detailed description of cens us requirements-and, in particular, the German censuses of 1925, 1933, and 1939-in an effort to counter arguments that German authorities us ed the results of these censuses during the Holocaust period. Extensiv e references are provided to enable others to have access to informati on from that era.
