Should I remove curl from old B&W negs? If so, how?

I have a bunch of WWII shots my Dad took and the negs. were all stored in tight rolls. I am in the process of scanning these with a Poloroid Sprintscan 4000 which has a film carriage which hold a max. of 6 shots. Any concerns or warnings with cutting the rools into strips? Is it worth the risk to get the curl out? If so, how? Should I store the strips flat in sleeves?
