D01--Integral Affairs Section). The newly constituted OVD combines the
elements and functions of UVD and UKS, i.e., control over the German police
(for UVD) and control over the SVAG security personnel, 1Ps and guards (for
25X1A6a 11KS).
- G ?t Thus the 0VD-S7AG is responsible for physical security with-
in the Soviet Zone and has at its disposal the combined Soviet and German

a Sec on of Internal Affairs (OVD,SVAG). In March, it Was elevated to the

cials in SNAG dealing with German police matters.

two raramilitary police squadrons stationed in Leipzig. They expressed
their satisfaction with the police administration and actor odations. They'

25X1A6a tional troops in Germany.
CCo ants Manor General S. F. Gorokhov is known to have been
chief of the Directorate for Comrandantts Service of the SMA for Germany

Althoup,h it does not mention him by name, it obviously deals
with his activities in cooperation with Dr. Kurt Fischer of the GAI.)
