REMARKS
CRATE PREPARED
24 November 1954
On 3 October 1954, the following observations were made at Jocksdorf
airfield:
Buildings were under construction south of the Gross-Schacksdorf road
about 200 meters west of the Gross Schacksdorf - Preschen road tows d
the Pilzberg. Three large buildings, each about 50 meters longs were
located north of the newly concreted road which ran over the northern
section of Pilzberg to the southwest. Of these buildings the ground floors
have been completed. The two eastern buildings were located parallel
to the road, and the western building was at a right angle to the road,
y opposite the middle building along the northern side of
the road. The construction site was partially fenced in.
The road which extended over the Pilzberg was concreted as far as the
marshy area west of Pilzberg. Preparations were seen on further concreting
work to the squthwest. It seemed that a connecting road to the buildings
inside the fence of the field was to be established. The point where
the concrete road meets with the Gross Schacksdorf - Preschen road was
blocked. Concreting work was under way on the road from this point to
as far as Gross Schacksdorf.
The construction site of the buildings inside the fence around the field,
northeast of Jocksdorf was about 930 meters east of triangulation point
91.5. Five buildings were under construction 30 to 40 meters east of the
fence. The fra&ork of these buildings was completed up to the first
floor. The northern building ttended from east to west and the other
4 buildings were adjacent to` he south in N-S direction. Additional
excavation work was under wayetween these buildings, the railroad line
and the road to the east. Th previously mentioned building crane was
still there. A bare building of brick constrget-ion was seen east of the
railroad line and road approximately in line with the southernmost building.
Two large boilers on which the fire places were clearly seen were stored
close-by. It was assumed that a boiler house was to be established there.
Several two-story brick buildings with flat roofs were seen adjacent, south
of the 5 buildings, south of the excavations, west to and parallel of the
railroad line. The utilization of these buildings was unknown. The flight,
control station, a ree-story building with a four-cornered tower-at its
western side, was about 500 meters from the runway, just southwest of
the crossroad which was about 335 meters east of triangulation point 96.2.

About 200 meters east of the flight control station there was a building,
the utilization of which was not known. A transformer house was located
about 400 meters south of triangulation point 86.1 in the northwestern
cgrner of the fence around the field. The pin-point location of the fuel
dump could not be determined.
\.r ,
flying lane east of the runs . The fence which ran west of the road
along the northeast rder of the field continued toward the southeast
in a wire entanglem idth of the flying lane. The
wire entanglement was MWV meters deep and extended to the
east as far as the marshy area of-Rohrteich. The so-called "Fischteiche"
(fishponds) were located southeast of the field outside of the fence.
The western edge of the field was also bordered by the same fence as
along the eastern edge.
3. A concrete taxiway about 250 meters long and provided with a dispersal
area branched off from the eastern end of the NE-SW runway toward the
southl A taxiway extended to the north from the eastern end of the
runway. Only its first portion was seen.
4. Between 21 and 23 October, the following observations were made at
Jocksdorf airfield:
The central heating plant was not located near Gosda, as previously reported,
but about 150 meters north of triangulation point 94.2. A garage 40 to
50 meters long and 10 deep was completed in the area of the garage yard.
Buildings Nos 8 and 9 were to be constructed in the near future.
Construction work was completed on 8 to 10 small, four-cornered buildings
in the curve of the road which was established for the tank trucks.
On these buildings only the windows and inside equipment were still
missing. Between the buildings were some hills under which the fuel
conidners presumably were installed. A small building which was located
immediately at the beginning of the curve served as a fire house. The
utilization of a similar building located farther toward the taxiway could
not be determined. The taxiway extended south of the road to the fuel
dump, at the edge of the wood. The dispersal areas along the taxiway
were located along the side nearest to the wood.
