Ulrike Leuchtweis of the Staatsarchiv Ludwigsburg says that there was no NSDAP record found there for Paul Kaess. However, not all the names that are in the files are recorded in the finding aids. Files of the NSDAP and Nazi organizations can be found in the Staatsarchiv Inventory overview under the signatures PL 501 I-PL 504/34 and PL 505-PL 524.

However, these are only remnants of the files that originally existed. Most files were destroyed during the war or shortly after the end of the war.
