2. Aliaeinum Plant No. 4 was located about 5.5 km southeast of Krasnoturinsk. The
date 1944 appeared in large nambere on one of the smoke stacks. The plant had
eight chimneys; seven vwre alike, 120 a tall, but the eighth was only 70 a high
and very zd. In October 1952, while one of the tall stacks was being oenstr*cted,
a fire broke out in the wooden frame and six men were burned to death. From the
latter part of 1952 until spring 1953, an extension of this plant was being cede;
concrete bases for new machinery were poured.
3. The only product of the plant were flat alvminm 25X1
was 40 x 100 a and 10 a high.
4. Every day, 40 to 50 four-~e, open freight cars brought ore down from the north

5. The plant consisted of seven or eight buildings, connected by an undergrnund passage-
way. There were seven large, round basins of water, about 40 m in diameter, with a
tall chimney rising out of them. Pipes brought hot water ?to the basins; then the
water was taken up in the stack and came down again (sic). There were also two
large cranes on rails, which were operated by women. There was a large electric
power station west of Plant No. 4. Large cables led to the plant. Other power stations
furnished light for the camps.
6. The total labor force was 4,500 workers, including about 200 women and 300 free
workers. They worked every day about 12 hours. Other camps probably furnished the
night shift,as the factory was in continuous operation. The head of the plant was

7. Plant products were sent, about three time a week, to Sverdlovsk in about 40 to 50
four axle flat cars. The products were covered with tarpaulins. One ouwp made nothing
but wooden boxes, large and small, for the products of the plant.
8. The prisoners went to the plant in convoy. They had no documents at all and no
numbers on their clothes, political prisoners with numbers on their 25X1
caps and clothing come into the plant area. There was no regular search of the prisoners
as they came out of the plant,but they had to open their jackets when passing the guards.
The plant was surrounded by two fences, guarded by seven or eight watchtowers. The
outer fence was simply barbed wire and about 1.75 m high. Along the fence were a
number of boards on which appeared a death's head with ,rossed bones; thi' wan to
indicate a forbidden sons. Between the two fences was a strip of plowed earth, about five
meters wide. The inner fence was of boards, about 2.75 m ngn. un w top or tie
fence, leaning toward the factory grounds, was a roll of barbed wire about 50 am high.
10. Alweinum Plant No. 6 started operations in 1952. It was large as Plant No. but
under~aund. Only one a uLU building and the many obianeys could be seen. 25X1
about 4,000 to 5,000 prisoners from Camp No. 12 worked there, 25X1
