A new aiming device, mounted on 337-mm guns, has been. brought
from the USSR to one unit in Germany. It is called the AZP-47
(Avtomaticheskaya Zenitnaya Fritsel - Automatic AAA eight,
model 1947). The operator can make slight corrections by
observing the sheilbursts, and the controls are such as to
permit more expeditious handling than in previous devices.
For these. reasons the new sight is far better than the
PUAZO-3 (Pribor Upravleneya Artileriekym Ognyom - AAA
director) or the AZP-39 (Avtomaticheekaya Zenitnaya
Pritsel - automatic AAA sight, model 1939).
(1) A new standard cartridge (7,62 rte) for the TT pistol,
the carbine and the SM0 has been developed and issued
to the units.
(2) A new carbine clip which holds 10 instead of five
rounds has been perfected.
(3) The TT magazine has been changed to hold 10 rounds
instead of eight.
(4) The Mossin-Nagant carbine, model 1938, has been
modified and is now easier to dismantle.

5. Firing techniques depend largely on circumstances. There is no
set technique for engaging wide, deep and oblique targets with
ground MG fire. The MG company commander must decide hrw to
o1ac' h1..q ma.rhine guns on each separate occasion. Indirect
fire from MG is employed very little since direct fire at pin-
pointed visible targets is very much preferred. Partial de-
filade and defilade are used when conditions require it. When
the visibility is poor the Soviets use blanketing fire for
terrorizing effect. The employment of MGs on final protective
lines also depends on the company commander.

In June 195l the T/E of Sep AAA Bns (of rifle division* only)
was increased from four to six 37-mum guns per battery. At

NCO's and 16 privates (from five officers 15 NCO's and 31
privates to five officers, 17 NCO's and 47 privates.)
The two extra 37-mm AAA guns were added'to the batteries a
short time after the publication of the order, but the T/O,
was increased only gradually as new arrivals joined the
units. No new housing or barracks were necessary far the
