This collection is composed of the personal possessions of Capt. Melvin M. Rackleff, as they relate to the Second World War and subsequent postwar occupation of Germany as a U.S. Army doctor. Included in this collection are letters written to his wife, Hazel Rackleff, during and immediately following the war. Other ephemera from Rackleff's time overseas is included. Additionally, several books, many from his time during the occupation of Germany, are included. Four maps from the immediate post-war period show the division of Germany and town layouts. One box contains several photograph albums that originally belonged to a German family.

The collection includes a variety of media from Germany, including postcards, magazines for GIs stationed in Germany, photographs, and The Corner.The Corner is a manuscript (likely a historical fiction novel) about a group of men in a Polish Catholic community in Toledo, Ohio. The story follows a group of young men who often spent time on a corner, gambling or socializing, from the 1930s through their wartime experiences up to the post war period. The manuscript appears to demonstrate the cultural enclaves in American cities and how that changed during the Second World War. The time period of the collection is mostly WWII, however it is more memory- focused, including military and civilian publications and from the 1980s and 1990s reflecting on the war. The collection also includes a memoir about Bielawski's experiences, P.O.W. Camp 78 Zuffenhausen, Germany. It gives a brief historical background of the Second World War in Europe, as well as his experiences, including his views on POWs and European civilians in the immediate post-WWII years, with emphasis on the healthcare of those interned in the POW and civilians outside of the camp.
