EAST GERMANY
A
ROTHENBURG airfield (20 October 1958)
Attached at Appendix "A" is an overlay
This overlay shows ROTHENBURG airfield as at
20 October 1958. 25X1
2. The airfield is bounded in the South by a single barbed wire
fence that runs almost due East from approximately 968887. The wire
then follows the line of the road towards BREMENHAIN village, skirts
the village to the East, and leaves the road in a NE direction at
approximately 964905. Neither in the North nor in the South does the
runway cross the roads BLEICHENAU - BREMENHAIN and BREMENHAIN - ZOBLITZ.
3. On the eastern side of the airfield at the positions indicated on
the overlay there are 5 or 6 sheds. In front of the sheds, i.e. to the
West, there wore ca. 24 MIG's type airorafz, many partially covered with
tarpaulin.
4. There were no signs of clearance work to the North and to the West
of BREMENHAIN, nor were there any areas prohibited to German civilians in
the immediate vicinity of the airfield. BREMENHAIN village itself was
very quiet and there were no indications of any unusual work being under-
taken or of large numbers of workmen having been brought into the area.
5. There was no flying activity between 1230 and 1700 hours on 20 October
1958.
