The article mentioned a 1948 list of missing swords that is located in this site's archives. Can anyone tell me how to locate this list or provide a link for me?

I believe he's referencing this: WW2 US Govt Archived Documents.  Lots of very interesting reading there.

I don't use FB but does anyone have a link to the story? Is it referenced any where outside of Facebook?
