Neubuckow 25X1
Between 0900 and 1500 on 7 December, visibility was considerably limited by falling25X1
snow. Only about 35 Il-2.8s were observed at the field. There was no air activity. 2
On r ecernber, excavation work was under way near the fuel dump in the northern
section of the field. The dump was presumably to be enlarged to the east. The
fence and lighting facilities had already been shifted. Two fuel containers each
abo-at the size of a railroad tank car were seen in the fuel dump. 3
Tn , December, the AA gun emplacement in the southwestern section of the field
was apparently unoccupied. Six 76-mm AA guns were seen in the emplacement at
the northwestern edge of the field. About 60 soldiers practiced with the guns.
't noon, the soldiers moved into the AA billets in the angle formed by the
Weendorf-'d;'erneuchen and Wesendahl-Werneuchen roads. Two large van-like vehicle:
e ac- mounting a model AA 1 P'( 2 set were parked in the adjacent sheds. The model
set which had previously been observed near the AA gun emplacement was
row located near the westernmost hangar in the southwestern corner of the field.
Two 37-mm: AA g u s were seen in the AA gun emplacement just south of the eastern
section a the southern taxiway. It is possible that additional guns were
located in this area which could not be entirely observed. A model AA 4 MN 3 set
was observed north of the western end of the runway between the first and third
aircraft revetments.
The Pl';-45 DF station was still located about 1,000 meters east of the eastern
end of the runway. A single-mast radio installation with the radio truck
truck hauling equipment, were observed 25X1
200 meters east of the DF station. About 200 meters east of the single-mast
radio installation was a radio truck with a broom-shaped antenna. The Kniferest-
-tyre radar set and Fishnet-type set were still located at the eastern end of the
southern taxiway. Two radio trucks without rod antennas were parked just northeast
of the easternmost hangar. 4
The following motor vehicles were observed at the field:
Trucks
with driver daring red-bordered black epaulets
with driver wearing black-bordered blue epaulets
with driver wearing black-bordered blue epaulets
with driver wearing; black-bordered. blue epaulets
bulance
A new road from Hirschfelde to Wegendorf extended between the PKV-45 DF station and
the single-mast radio installation, along the southeastern border of the field.
The road met with the former Hirschfelde-Wegendorf road close to the fence around
the airfield.

Comment. The shipments of combustibles consigned to .Cubrovski were 25X1
presumably intended for use by air force units at -';Verneuchen airfield.
the Twenty-P'ourt:i 25X1
Air Army was repeatedly observed as dispatcher and consignee. The shipments
from `Nerneuchen to T_?eubukow presumably belonged to the AAA. The shipments to
Fi,sterwalde which were repeatedly reported cannot be accounted for.
_____]Commeht. 'Nerneuchen airfield is still occu,ied by 2 bomber regiments
e-;a.ipped with 48 to 50 I1-28s.
Comment. According to available information, the northern fuel dump has
a holding capacity of aboU.t 1 million liters. The information that the dump
s to be enlarged is received for the first time. The southern fuel dump
as approximately the same capacity as the northern dump.
Com_-,ient. The number of AA guns and AA directors has not changed. The
c"h.ar,ge of location of the model AA 1 MK 2 set indicates that the AA gun
emplacement in the soutl%stern section of the field was possibly occupied.
It i.: apparently difficult to determine the occupation. The radio and radar.
'etc were reported previously.
