Professor Dr. W lter U w t e transported to the USSR in October 1946. In Podlipld, the transports from Germany were separated according to the var- ious- institutes, such as Podlipki, Monino, Fryazino, dte., to which to be sent. PAUBR was the only German sent to work at Bolshevo. Several people who worked at Plant 88 lived, but did not work, in Bolshevo0 tie fact that PAUER lived in and worked near Bolshevo was misinterpreted \ \to indicate that the organization for which he worked was a subdivision of Podlipki, but physically separated from- it'. - The only relationship between the two or anizations'-was their - geographic proximity.

'PAVER wan e o ry to come ant 88, hince he, as the only German at the purely Soviet concern, felt ill at ease. He said that this Traffic Ministry was working on rockets. ) \ 1 PAUER was transferred, on the . basis of his request, t h No. 1 of NII-88 in Ostashkov in ,March or heard the word galiningrad .e)March or April 1947 -'used in connection wi h any of the activities near or Around Mos- cow, i.e. Podlipki, Rolshevo, etc.17 Professor PAUER had been at any other installation than the two mentioned above. --LPAUER's place of work at Holshevo was lo- cated rather far from his living quarters. He was picked up and returned by automobile every day. , _Jthing about any de- tails of theplace at which he worked, the organization, etc. the Traffic Ministry is not subordinate to the Ministry of Armament and Munitions. 2. The fact that besides the Ministry of Armament and Munitions, still other ministries were engaged in rocket research is sup- ported by the fact that at least twoof HOCHla trajectory simu- lators (Bahnmodelle), designed and constructed at Ostashkov, were sold to other ministries. The Soviets themselves told of this with pride. Employees of these ministries came for instructions in the use of these simulators. _Since the simulators were used exclusively for stability invastigations ?of guided missiles, it seems clear that the recipients were (or are).also engaged in rocket research or construction0 rocket research was carried on at at ,least three ministriess the Communications Ministry(i.e. Traffic Ministry, which'includesjoital facili- ties), the. Air 'Ministry and the Ministry of'Armimeats and Mu- nitions., 3.
