The Signal Company of the 135th Separate Air Warning Battalion is composed of
ls..m'thxee platoons: Radio Receiving Platoon, Radio Transmitting Platoon, and
Telephone Platoons CO of the company is Sr. Lt. KHAALMOV (fnu) and Deputy CO
is KOSHELEV (fnu) (rank unknown but probably a lieutenant). Strength of the
company is five officers and approximately 73 enlisted men. CO of the Radio
Receiving Platoon is MOSHKIN (fnu) (rank unknown but probably a lieutenant);
00 of the Radii Transmitting Platoon is Lt. SEMENOV (fnu); and CO of the Telephone
Platoon is Sr. Lt. KORNE YENKO (f'nu)
Headquarters of the Signal Company were in Baden (N 48-Ol, E 16r4") from the time
the battalion was formed in March 1952 until 29 May 1954, at which time they were
moved to Rodaun (N 48-08, E 16-16). On 16 October 1954, they moved from Rodaun
to Liesing (N 48-08, E l6-18). During this period, some elements of the Signal
C.o, worked in the Main Post, some shared working quarters with a Radio Technical
Platoon which later became a Separate Company, and some shared working quarters
with personnel from two unidentified aviation units. The history of the Signal
Company and its relationships with these other units is given below chronologically.

circles drawn on it. On the table were three telephones.
7. On another occasion in 1953, the 135th Separate Air Warning Battalion's Hellmonsbedt
radar post called in data on an intruder aircraft which was holding over a hill-
top. When the duty officer at the Main Post asked for a recheck, he received the
same excited reply. Still unbelieving, he called a ground force unit in the area
of intercept and requested them to check on the "aircraft" with binoculars. They
reported that the "intruder aircraft" was a tractor hauling logs down from the'
hilltop.

Group of Forces This platoon consisted of approximately 30 enlisted men,
one senior lieutenant, and one lieutenant who wore black shoulder boards. All
personnel of the platoon were quartered in Baden in an L-shaped barracks in the
same caeerne area as personnel of the Signal Company of the 135th Separate Air
Warning Battalion, In spring 1952, personnel of this platoon and of the Signal
Company of the 135th Separate Air Warning Battalion started working in the Main
Post in Baden in in the Radio Receiving Center area of the 135th Signal. Company'.

moved to Rodaun,
Transmitting Center of the Raclin Tecwipa Platoon
12. The radio transmitting center of the Radio Technical Platoon was located in the
same kaserne area which housed the platoon, Until February or March 1954, this
center consisted of four trucks equipped with wooden booths and one truck equipped
with a metallic booth. Four of these trucks were Studebakers and one was a Z IS-5.
Three of the Studebakers and the ZIS-5 had radio set type RSB-F equipment. The
fourth Studebaker had a metallic booth and FL radio equipment,
ur s period, these three Studebaker and ZIS-5 trucks were re-
placed by four GAZ-63 trucks equipped with RSB-F equipment, This transmitting
center was moved on 29 May 1954 to Mauer (N 48-13, E 15-25) where the transmitting
center of the Signal Co of the 135th Sep Air Wn Bn was set up.
Transmitting Center of the 135th Sap Air Wn Bn
13. From its formation in March 1952 until May 1954, the 135th Separate Air Warning
Battalion had no radio transmitting center, Just prior to the move from Baden
to Rodaun on 29 May 1954, the Signal Co of the 135th Sep Air Wn Bn received two
GAZ-63 trucks equipped with RSB-F radios, These two trucks arrived in Baden in
May and soon departed for the new transmitting center of the Signal Co in Mauer.
there was only one GAZ-63 truck with mobile radio station which

(See page 14, point 3 for point location,) At the end of July or the first of
August, this Radio Technical Platoon was redesignated as a Separate Company
(Otdelnaya Rota), the personnel strength was increased
to 70 men. The personnel added to the platoon to make it a company came from the
135th Sep Air Wn Bn and from an unidentified battalion in Hungary. All of the
personnel from Hungary were radio operators. Upon completion of the 29 May move,

18. From 29 May 1954 until 16 October 1954, the headquarters and the Radio Receiving
Center of the 135th Se Air Wn Bn were located in Rodaun. (See page 14, point 4,
for pinpoint location. The building used as a headquarters for the company
was a five-story, white stuccoed brick development with a large cellar below
the first floor. The cellar extended approximately 18 meters forward from the
front of the building, was 20 meters deep and 7 meters high. The first floor
contained a battery storage room, a kitchen, and a food storage area which
usually stored about one week's rations. (See page 15 for
sketch of the exterior of the building and pages 16 - 19 for oor plane and
equipment of the 2nd, 3rd9:aud 4th floor of the building.) All personnel of
the Signal Company of the 135th Sep Air Wn Bn lived in this building, with the
exception of some men attached to the Transmitting Center in Mauer. In addition,
this-building housed the Radio Receiving Center of the 135th Separate Air Wn Bn,
the Radio Receiving Center of the Radio Technical Platoon//Separate Company,
and radio receiving centers of two unidentified aviation units.
Radio Raoaiving Center of t heSignal Co of the 135th Sap Air Wn En
19. The Signal, Company's Radio Receiving Center in Rodaun was equipped with six
radio receivers resembling the PKV-45 Radio Direction Finder without direction
indicator on top. 2 By October 1954, a seventh such receiver was added. Each
receiver had a sending key and a telephone beside it. Each operator's name
was written in full on a card beside his radio. (See page 19 for

the Radio Receiving Center, through the Radio
Transmitting Center in Mauer, transmitted information received to the above-
listed places as a matter of routine immediately after receiving it.
~21. Although each radio receiver had a telephone next to it,
heard a radio operator who worked in the center complaining to the battalion 00
that it was necessary for him to sit and wait to call in a message he had
received while his colleagues were transmitti their messages. The 00 thanked
him for reporting this. two or more telephones were
connected to the same line.

Radio Transmitting Center of the Signal Co of the 1351h p Air Wn Bn
23. A Transmitting Center for the Signal Company was set up in Mauer on 29 or 30
May 1954. (See page 14, point 1 for pinpoint location.) It consisted of
three trucks with radio equipment: one Studebaker with a metallic booth and
American equipment and two GAZ-63 trucks wigs wooden booths and RSB-F equipment.
The intensifier was approximately 6 feet high and 3j feet wide. (See page 21.)

25X1
In June 1954 after the move from Baden had been completed, three 25X1
or four new ZIS-151 trucks with wooden booths (and presumably Soviet equipment).
24. The CO of this center was Lt. SEM NOV, who commanded 21 enlisted men, 20 of whom
were radio operators and one of whom was a truck driver. Fifteen of the operators
lived in Mauer and five lived in Rodaun. The driver remained in Mauer wi h the
two GAZ-63 trucks. During alerts, the driver drove one truck and Lt, SI$ NQV1
drove' the other. Assignment to this unit was sometimes referred to jokingly
as a "resort type assignment". Until the formation of the Battalion Post on
29 or 30 August 1954, only one of the two RSB-F transmitters was in operation.
The work schedule on the GAZ-63 units consisted of two men on 12-hour shifts
for each GAZ-63 unit whern both'were in operation. Operators sat in the booths
while on duty. During normal operations, operators who were not on duty usually
attended a radio school where they practiced sending and receiving code by key.
25. The three ZIS-151 trucks were parked on what had been the first floor of a
bombed-out building. The antennae of the three ZIS-151 trucks were auy-wirer
on what had been the second floor, which extended out over the radio truck
units. (See page 2C for lacernent of vehicles and antennae.)
26. Information from the Radi Receiving Center in Rodaun and from the lain Pont
in ?Liesing, and after' its formation from the Battalion Post in Liesing (see
pare 32), was transmitted by this center to detachments at the observation
towers and radar posts of the 135th Sep Air Wn Bn and also to Moscow, Lvov
Hungary, and Czechoslovakia? Personnel desiring to use the transmitter at
Mauer would call the eleotro-technician and/or radio operator on duty and
have him start the power unit for the transmitter. They then transmitted ' 25X1

the unit had "voice" contact with other units,
29. Personnel from three other units were stationed in the same area of Mauer.
A section of one building there was used by personnel of the Transmitting
Center of the Radio Technical Platoon/Separate Company until it moved to
Bad Voeslau in late August 1954 (see pare 15 above). Another building was
used as a transmitting center for two separate unidentified aviation units.
These units, identified as belonging to the air force because of
the blue shoulder boards worn the personnel, were operating on a full-time
basis in June 1954. (See pages 22 & 23 for
sketch and legend of this area.

31. In late August 1954 (presumably 29 or 30 August), the Separate Company moved
into the military post (voyennyy gorodok) in Bad Voeslau. Because
the Separate Company was supposed to work only in the Main Post,
thought that it moved to Bad Voeslau to be closer to the Main Post's new
location in Baden.
Battalion Ppst of the 135th Sep Air Wn Bn
32. When the Main Post moved from Liesing to Baden in late August 1954, a Battalion

was a junior sergeant who acted as shift chief; the other eight were telephone
operators. After 1 September 1954, unit sent nine man to work in
