Researching S.I.R. interrogation reports enemy POWs

Currently we're researching the southern end of Operation Market Garden. Part of that research is going through the interrogation reports of German prisoners of war in the National Archives in Kew. They are part of the WO 208 Prisoners of War section. There is a bit of a problem with those. There does not seems to be an index for them, or a logical order. They aren't sorted by date or any thing else.

We have been going through WO 208/3601, WO 208/3602, WO 208/3603 and WO 208/3604, all handling the period between September and November 1944. We've made a list of what's available, with unit, location and date.
