In late December 1951, I Ioviat 3.:?'ton ;rack: were, being
converted into repair shop trucks at thu railroad car factory in A! iond.orf
(U 52/D 92), a Soviet corporation oolant. The trucks will bc; closae: in and
provided with the necessary cquiy-r.Lent; some of t e:'3kn v ill also be oqui r)ed
-with a lathe,,
~Coment. Ti' ae conversion of trucks into rc-)air snoop trucks at the railroad
car cell-T.111 Amrnondorf is reported for the first tine. As the trucks observed
at the .?lant belong to almost all Soviet armies stationed in th 3 aovict Zone
of Gerrtiny, it is bcli r;ved that the Soviet corporation plant in =A :.ondorf
serves as a sue-ily installata_on assigned to the GOFG. The installation may be
attached to the ;lath Central :repair cchop in Loi.A ziga It is surprising that the.
Soviets : hould attach such a great importance to the equi pent of troop units
with repair shop trucks. Thib attitude ray result from the fact that a
relatively high percentage of tli: it military vehicles araa of dornan and U.S.
or i0 in and thus are old. The motor vehicles nomtioncdd in the re :art belong; to
units of the First, second an-, Third :" .s L ecz -rmics, of th? Third :shock and
I.ighth Uds J rxxLesg the IV rt;y i,:or!YS, and. of the 11GB.
