2. The Koepenick Radio Plant (known in East Germany by the abbreviation
?
YWK, which was also used for advertising purposes); had a total labor
force of 3000 to 3500 persons. In mid-1961, the planning goals called
for a reduction ofpersonnel to 2800 and a concurrent increase of pro-
duction by 150 to 200 percent, to be achieved between 1962 and 1970.;:
The plant proper consisted of three 'plants:
a. Plant 1; Experimental and Development Plant (Versuchs-Entwicklungs-
werk), at WendenschlOss Strasse 154-158, Berlin-Koepenick, telephone
650891, teletype address EFWEKA 011-334. It was the largest and most
important plant and Contained the plant management and the entire ad-
ministrative staff for all three plants. It employed 1800 to 2000
persons, including an engineering-technical staff of about 850 per-
sons.
b. Plant II, Production Plant, was in BerlinOberschoeneweide, telephone
632321, and the same teletype address as Plant I. It employed 900
to 1100 person.
c. Plant /I4 al:BO:4 production plant, in KAblow. ,It employed 300 to-400
persons.

all work related to components. Its activities included the development,
production, and standardization of high-frequency coils and special trans-
formers-, for example, for impulses, special switches, and relays; the
development and production of power supply components such as grid parts,
from high-power transmitters down to the smallest devices; and the es-

The department
was responsible for all very-high-frequency components for radar navi-
gation centimeter technology, but up to June 1961 was working only in
the X band. The main emphasis was on development and production of marine
radars for civilian use. The KA-5, particularly, Was to,be a signifi-
cant East German contribution to the electronics field within the CEMA
framework.
According to Johann Lautenbabh? the development director Ebert replacedl
and Hasserodt of the VVB, the USSR expected East Germany to manufacture
marine radars to the value of 100 to 150 million DM annually from 1962
to 1965. The figure was a gross amount, including the production of
visual direction-finding equipment and other developments in direction-
finding technology.
50X1 -HUM
a. The total production capacity of the Koepenick Radio Plant in 1961
was about 70 million EME gross. To double the figure would require
considerable investment, which was quite unfeasible under existing
conditions, not to mention the enormous difficrulties the plant would
face in. material allocation, acquisition of new machinery, expansion
of plant facilities, etc. The large L-shaped production building
which was due to be completed at the end of 1962 was not large enough
for such an increase.
b. Since the rate of defection of personnel, especially executives, was
unusually high at the plant, thus making it politically unreliable
In the eyes of the Soviets, it was quite probable that the USSR might
request thatpeoduction of Soviet orders, such as marine radars, be
moved to a geographically more secure location outside the Greater
Berlin area.

dissolved and its shops were to be assigned to the Other departments= f
the Development Directorate, which were then to do their Own testing and
production. It seemed likely, however, that Some general service shops,
such as that for paint and lacquer (w), would remain centralized. .

when the EG and EM departments were split up. It was engaged mainly in
development of magnetic and gyro compasses, ship log instruments,
autOmatic steering devices, control instruments, and other marine navi-
gation devices. Project planning for 1962 included the development of
instruments,forinertial navigation, but at first only to the extent of
basic research. Other interests of the department were the development
of rotary field transmitters (Drehfeldgebern), receivers with selsyn
systems, and Ferraris motors. The departhent had the following sections:

(g) The Ionospheric Recording Installation. Chief: K4r1-Heins Geisthardt,
This branch developed two installations in recent yeara which cost the
Hoepenick Radio Plant a great deal of money. Both installations were devel-
Oped and built by different members of the entire Depenick plant, but only
members of the ES branch were responsible for their development.
The first itatallationfwat a 10-kilowatt television transmitter, vhion
was under development at the plant from 1954 on. The work was under the di-
rection of Willi Zeletzki. It did not progress because there were no effi-
cient transmitter tubes available in East Germany. In 1956 a Hungarian dele-
gation visited East Germany and the Kbepenick Radio Plant, heard about the
transmitter, and wanted to have one. The SED functionaries promised to sell
the Hungarians one of the transmitters and to deliver it by the end of 1956.
The technical people at the-Koepenick Radio Plant should have thwarted the
tale at the time for technical reasons, but they did-not? in spite of the fact
that they knew that they could not deliver the transmitter: On the contrary,
they built a television transmitter, and all the departments in the plant had
to cooperate on the project.. In December 1956 the. transmitter was boxed with-
out having been operated at the plant. Naturally, after it was set up in
Budapest, it did not meet the required standards of operation. It was not
until the middle of 1958 that the instrument could approach the output stipu-
lated, and only for a short time at that. The Koepenick Radio Plant was fined
a conventional amount of 2.5 million DME for tardiness (li years late).
The second instrument of which the supervisory personnel of the ES branch
were held responsible for development was the ionospheric recording instru-
ment, S P 3. An instrument such as this had been developed years ago at the
former SAG Scientific-Technical Bureau of Instruments,Berlin (SAG Wissenschaft-
lich-Technisches Buero fuer Geraete Berlin), 9-17 Neue Bahnhof Street. The
contractor was the Soviet Trade Mission, 75 linter den Linden, East Berlin.
At that time, two stationary and two portable installations were delivered to
the USSR. In addition, all the related instruments and supporting drawings
were sent there.
In December 1957 the USSR ordered 20 additional instruMents of the type
from East Germany. This time the order was made through the German Domestic
and Foreign Trade Office (Deutsche Innen- und Aussenhandel)-MA). Negotia-
tions for the order in December 1957 began in 1956 and were such that the

Scientific-Technical Bureau of Instruments refused to ship any other iono-
spheric recording instruments. Koepenick Radio Plant, however, said that it
was prepared to do so, in spite of the fact that the Soviets refused to put
the present development data at its disposal. An entirely new development,
therefore, had to be conducted. The development of the ionospheric recording :
installation cost the Koepenick Radio Plant four million DME from1956 to
June 1959.
The plant received' 660,000DNE from the DIA for each instrument, an
additional =low DME for the accessory and replacement Tarts, and another
200,000 Die for the antennas, ,which were manufactured by subr,contractora. The
total cost to the DIA for each 'installation was 10080,000 D. TheDIA, how-
ever, received only 220,000 rubles from the Sovietsffor each installation ac-
cording to the contrast. The DIA lost eight million DNE in shipping 20 in-
stallations.
:Delivery dates werefi,however,-also determined in the agreements between
the DIA and the Soviet Trade Delegation. The schedule is as follows:'
5 installations by 15 August 1959
5 installations by 15 September 1959
5 installations by 15 October 1959
5 installations by 15 November 1959
In connection with the terms the installations are to be ready? in East Germany
for acceptance by Soviet technicians. After acceptance, the installations are
to leave East Germany in four weeks.
_What was, accomplished? 14 March 1959 a laboratory operational model was
made available for inspection and placed at the disposal of the Soviets., This
operational model was accepted by the Soviet representative of the Academy of
Sciences of the USSR, Caddidatepf Technical Sciences MatVgyey,who is also the
representative of Tekhnoprom Import from Moscow. The Soviets required that
the,instruments-be operated continuoUgly for 48 hours." The operational model,
whichyas:asseMbled in the open on laboratory tables, could withstand duration
tests of that type. Furthermore, the teat was conducted in Lindow in the
FrankftrtiOder district0 where the appropriatantennas were available. In Au-
guatA5fol959:9h64,Ah6firetfiteAnataIlationk_ahduld7hatebeenuomPletedi7none
were as yet finished. Exactly one model was built,- in which the dimensions of
the final designwere to be shown.(the size-control model).
January. .1960 five installations were shipped. They were not received .
in Berlin by the Soviets, but were to be shipped to the Oder-Neisse'border and
there to beput Into operation. These precautions were proposed by the Soviets
so that the workers at the Koepenick Radio Plant could not find out where the
Installations were to be delivered, In the USSR. (Also the antenna installations,
which were built by VEB Steel Construction ('EB StahlbaO,Lichtenberg, and
which were to have been taken to the Soviets for acceptance, could not be as-
sembled in the USSR byEast German personnel. East Germans were to assemble
the antennas on the Oder-Neisse border and Soviet assemblers were to 'bethor-
oughly instructed in the procedures. Then the antennas were, disassembled and
transported to unknown locations withi4athe USSR.)

Because the date of delivery was not adhered toieb-palled conventional -
finei were set down in the contract between the DIA and the Soviet Trade Dele-
gation. The fines ameUnted to 0.3 percent of the total value per unit for .
each day that the installation was delayed. What conventional fine the Ebe-
penlek Radio Plant must pay to the DIA is still being argued by the contract
partners. Is it 0.3 percent of the sum of 20 times 1,080,000 DME or 0.3-per-
cent of the sum of 20 times 220,000 rubles? In any case the conventional
fines together nearly exceedthe 'Value of the installation.
What are the S P ionospheric recording installations? They are
strUments with which it is possible to measure the altitude characteristic's
of the ionosphere. The results of the measurements are recorded photograph-
ically add at the same time the data and time are recorded on the photographs.
Then, the photographs are evaluated for flight safety.
The measuring instruments operate on a pulse output of at least 25 kilo-
watts. and a maximum of 35 kilowatts. The pulse-recurrence frequency it 30
cps.. The pulse widthemounts to 100 microseconds. The frequency range in
all the instruments may be adjusted continuously between 500 kilocycles and
20 megacydles. The built-in quartz clock has an accuracy Of at least 10'.
Each installation consists of the following:
Recording equipment, including control paneli pulse oscillograph,.
power-line aggregate, and two special recording cameras.
Auxiliary installation consisting of special measuring equipment to control
the transmitting-receiving station and development machines for developin&
the. films (photographs of the recordings). The film used was 200 millimeters
wide and 50 meters' long,and consisted of replacement parts for the installa-
tion. Among other parts, 11,500 electronic tubes of various types are shipped
(7) for each installation.
Antenna Installation. These antenna installations were developed by the
VEB Radio and Telecommunications Installation Construction and built by VEB
Steel Construction., Berlin-Lichtenberg.

T. The EF Transmitter Construction. Chief: Erwin Engert
The medium and long-wave transmitters which have been erected 50X1-HUM
in East Germany since 1950 have been built in this department. The construc-
tion of high-power transmitters has been curtailed to some extent in recent
years. The department had to release a great many workers to other develop-
ment branches. In 1959, eight 10-kilowatt ultra-shortwave transmitters were
built in the department. The first was assembled in Leipzig in the middle of
1959. In 1960, eight of the same 10-kilowatt transmitters were built in Fin-
ishing Plant II.
In addition, since 1957 the plant has taken over the further development
and construction of the 10-kilowatt television transmitter, which, up to now,
has been under development in Zeletzki's department. Of the 10-kilowatt tele-
vision transmitters, four were manufactured in the EF department in 1959. An-
other four are to be built there in 1960. One of the first transmitterfrwhiCh
was manufactured by EF in 1959 was put into operation on 8 October 1959 in
Leipzig. It is to cover the West German area for television broadcasting.
Plant II
In 1952, Plant II was equipped to take over manufacture of products from
Plant I. The floor area for series production became too crowded at Plant I.
During the years, Plant II was always enlarged and expanded. At present, aboub
1500 people are employed there. 50X1-HUM

The chief of testing and final controlis Walter Rust for Plant I and II. The
chief of three test fields is Engineer Johannes Schmidt. About 120 people are
employed here. About 80 persons are emplOyed in final quality control.

It is planned to meet this production figure without increasing the pro-
duction facilities and without employing an/ more help. The technical people,
of course, are of the opinion that under these condiflons the program will not
be fulfilled.
The present machine tool facilities of Plant IL consist of the follow-
ing: five milling maciaines, eight lathes, one now spindle lathe, imported
from Czechoslovakia, 10 drilling machines, one trimming press, one circular
saw, one friction saw, one shaping machine, one painting shop with a sprayer
and infrared drying oven, one testing room with a gyrocompass test-stand, and
two test stands for ship-guidance instruments.
Only the paint shop is to be expanded. For this purpose A: building was
rough-finished on 10February 1960, in which the spray shop (600 squarcsoneters)
Is to be housed.
About 30 percent of the products are to be exported to East-Bloc countries
And To percent are to be kept in East Germany.
