1. All the oil refineries in Czechoslovakia were grouped into two
national enterprises. One, the Czechoslovak Mineral Oil Refineries
(Cal. rafinerie mineralnich oleju) in Prague II which included the
? refineries located in Bohemia and Moravia; namely, Hodonin 5 48-52,
(with E 17-17? Kolin 5 50-02, E 15-l7, a branch plant in Prague-
Strasn ce),Kralupy nad Vltavou 50-14, E 14-117, Ostrava-Privoz,
and Pardubice. The other, the Slovak Oil Refineries in Bratislava
which included the refinery in Bratislava and the one in Duba
5 50-31, E 14-317.
2. All of these refineries were old and well-known enterprises. All
of them, except the plants at Duba and Hodonin, were damaged by
bombs during World War II. After the war, the damaged plants were
repaired and were returned to production at their pre-war capacity.
Security measures for the refineries were the same as for chemical
installations.
3. The Duba and Hodonin plants processed domestic materials only. The
Hodonin factory was important because research and pilot processing
of domestic natural gases were performed there. The gases originated
In the Malaoky 5 48-26, E 17-01:7 area and we piped to the Hodonin
plant.

4. Al]. oil refineries had their own steam boilers and were joined to
the main railway lines by spur tracks. The refinery in Bratislava
used the Danube River to ship raw materials and finished products.
All other plants had rail facilities only.
5. Chemapol annually imported the following materials for processing in
these refineries:
210,000 tn. of crude petroleum, two-thirds of which came from
Austria and one-third from Venezuela and Kuwait.
85,000 tn of petroleum distillate from Austria.
35,000 tn. of raw gasoline from Austria.
7,700 tn. of oil lubricants, about two-thirds of which came
from Area V countries and the remainder from Areas VI
and VII. 16
As shown by the above figures, the main supplier of raw petroleum
was the Soviet Zone of Austria, i.e., the Sowletische Ninera181-
Verwaltung in Vienna. Shipments passed through Zistersdorf in monthly
shipments of about 45,000 tn.
Distribution of finished products inside Czechoslovakia was handled
by Benzinol, National Enterprise, in Prague, with distribution for
Slovakia being handled by the Benzinol Bratislava management.
In addition to motor fuels and lubricants, these refineries produced
ceresine, paraffin and ozokerite. These products were shipped in
burlap bags for further processing in the paper, electrotechnical,
and' candle-making industries and for the preduction'of preservatives,
impregnation agents, cosmetics and polishing agents. Further, crude
paraffin was shipped in drums and was used mostly in the production
of technical lubricants; petroleum asphalt, which was shipped in
railway tank cars or metal drums, was used in road construction, in
the production of tar-paper roofing material, paints and lacquers,
in iron factories and rubber plants, in the electrotechhical and
paper industries, and in the production of lubricants. Finally, the
refineries produced a number of materials used in the production of
textiles, which were known under the names given below:
