12. Between 1 and 24 July 1950 it was observed that a fuel dump was 50X1-HUM
located on the western bank of the harbor mouth in Frankfurt/Oder.
It consisted of 6 rather than 12 wooden sheds as was previously
believed. On 9 and 23 July tank ships of about 300 tons and filled
to capacity were moored in the harbor. One of the river craft had
the designation G.M.A. 105. Bose pipes were seen at the embankment and
on the roof of a shed. No motor vehicles were seen. A railroad connec-
tion is not available, (13) Another minor fuel dump was on Goethe-
strasse and apparently supplied the units in Frankfurt/Oiler. Large
units drew their fuel from tank cars on the railroad track running along
the fuel dump. (].4) A DERUNAPHT (German-llussian Petroleum Company)
filling station located at the corner of Kantstrasse supplied both
military and civilian consumers. All motor vehicles were refueled
from one or two tank cars standing on a railroad track beside the filling
station. The containers of the DERUNAPHT depot are always filled. (15)
An emergency filling station is on Fuerstenwalder Strasse at a siding
of the freight station. Large motor convoys are refueled there from 50X1-HUM
up to 10 tank cars at a time. (16)

18. One cr two trains of about 30 boxcars 'each? carrying farinaceous
food from the Krietsch firm at Wursen, one shipment of about
12 tons of fresh meat, one ton of butter and one ton of bacon or
sausage from the Berlin central stockyard, and one shipment of
millet, rice and tea from the U.S.S.R. arrived every week. (18)
19. It was particularly noted that since about 1 July 1950 10 box-
car loads of biscuits have been stored, an unusual procedure, and
that about 40 boxcar loads of tobacco have arrived from the U.S.S.R.
since early August 1950. +ohile the tobacco was issued in unusually
large quantities the issue of biscuits was blocked. (21)
20. Laborers working in the army ration supply depot for more than four
years stated that since early August 1950 transit traffic had reached
an intensity never before observed. The shipments arriving were con-
siderably larger than at previous times and all storerooms were filled
to capacity. (18)
21, Large ration supply shipments were continually dispatched from the
depot to various military posts in the Soviet Zone of Germany. Trains
of about 30 railroad cars are dispatched every twotiaeeks to Schwerin
(,M 51/T i.6), Halberstadt (,: 52/1) 27) and Erfurt. A train of 32 box-
cars, loaded chiefly with canned goods and farinaceous food was dis-
patched to r~.furt on 17 August 1950. (18)
22, Most of the meat needed by army and AF units in the Frankfurt/Oder
area was supplied by the Frankfurt/Oder slaughterhouse. Only a small
part of it was delivered by the depot. Distant military posts received
fresh meat from local butchers.
23. Coffee and cocoa were not .3tored in the depot. The last three tons of
coffee had been sold to the trading organization n in July 1950, 50X
24.
25. The depot at Frankfurt/Oder was controlled by a Soviet office at Pots-
dam (Id 53/Z 63) which also controls an army ration supply depot of
about the sane capacity at Satzkorn (N 53/Z 5!). (23)
26. Since about mid-July 1950, new Soviet 200-liter standard field kitchens
with two rubber-tired wheels have been parked next to the depot. (24)
Fuerstenberg (N 51/u 52)
27, On 23 June 1950 it was observed that a Coviet ration supply depot was 50X1-HUM
in the northern section of the restricted area at Fuerstenberg, north-
east of Roeblin Lake. Several boxcars on the siding in..'iront of the
large storage shed were being unloaded. About 100 soldiers who wore
red bordered black epaulets were seen in the depot area. (25)
28, The elevators of the VVB-1i ehlenwerke_Fuerstenberg (Nationalized Flour
Mills) are in the southern section of the restricted area. About 90
percent of its products are delivered to the 'oviet Occupation rorces.

and Burgstaedt were guarded by soldiers with tank inisgnia, armed with
submachine guns. (33)
36. Trucks were parked in front of the Grcxna 50X1-HUM

37. In July 1950 it was observed that an old German armored train composed
of 25 cars armed with 15 105--mm howitzers and 5 88-mm AA guns was still
standing on the southern part of the spur track to thelerseburg air-
field. The breeches of all artillery pieces had been removed. Seven
railway guns of French make stood along the hangars on the same track.
These guns, which were mounted on flatcars and equipped with hoisting
gear, had stood on the northern part of the track prior to April 1950.
The former repair hangar with the adjoining buildings and hangars 2, 3,
4 and 5 have been used temporarily as an armory and were recently
surrounded by a board fence two meters high, The VP guard detail had been
increased from 10 to 15 in the week prior to.22 July 1950. In early July

38. On 13 August 1950 the Soviet fuel depot at L-?uenchenbernsdorf could ndt be
closely observed because of motor traffic and the dense woods, Several
dug-in fuel containtirs and temporary RAD (Reich's Labor Service) huts
were seen in the depot area. The latter quartered about 100 soldiers,

was drawn up for the inspections
in the ncr thein section of the. installation, The number of wooden
shelters could not be determined as the area is densely covered with
underbrush. A pile of ammunition boxes, about SO x 50 cm, another
pile of cartridge cases of about 120 mm caliber and a third pile of
empty tank ammunition boxes were seen in the northern section of the
depot area beside the fence. At the daily changing of the guard at
6 p.m,, truck arrived, occupied by 18 to 20 men, At night
the depot was fully lighted. At the corners of the fence watch
towers had been set up and were occupied day and night. (38)

41. On 28 June 1950 the army clothing supply depot at Schoenebeck was
unexpectedly inspected by a colonel from the laldeburg (M 53/Y 60)
konmiandatura who was accompanied by a captain. The inspecting colonel
and Colonel Salmanov (fnu), commandant of the depot, had a long,
excited discussion. The foreman of storage building 6 which contains

including 7 women who had only recently been employed to meet the
current requirements. Another repairshop had been set up at !ag;deburg
because of the unusually large number of necessary repairs which
resulted from the fact that, in the past year, the units had primarily
been issued old uniform items. New uniform items were issued at an
increased rate after about October 1949. (39)
The amount of incoming, worn-out uniform items, arriving mostly from the
Bernau clothing supply depot, increased between mid-June and late July
preparations for air raid protection were observed. The Jerman employees
had no restraints on their liberties and the soviets still had their days
off0
1950. The trains, which generally consisted of 7 to 11 boxcars, were
immediately unloaded and dispatched to an unidentified destination after
being reloaded with ragged clothing, (40)

_from Llagdeburg, picked up boots that had been
repaired and on 2 August 1950 trucks picked 50X1-HUM
up rags for a unit at Koeni,sborn. As there is a tank unit in
Koeni? sborn the rags were probably to be used for cleaning. (143)
Schwarza (.._ 51IJ 53)
. On 25 July 1950 the guard detail at the Schwarza ammunition depot
numbered 12 soldiers who wore black-bordered red epaulets. The under-
