to passenger car parked in the front area of the depot. 50X1-HUM
These vehicles were seen on 10 August 1950. (12)
Frankfurt/Oder (0 53/V 63)
12. Between 1 and 24 July 1950 it was observed that a fuel dump was
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 ' the harbor. 50X1 -H U M
Hose pipes were seen at the embancmen and
on the roof of a s a 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/Oder. Large
units drew their fuel from tank care on the railroad track running along
the fuel dump. (14) A DERIJNAPHT (German-Russian 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
up to 10 tank cars at a time. (16)

A laborer in the depot said boxcars loaded with food arrived daily.
Shipments from 'Ju.rzen (N 52/x: 142). consisted of peas, flour, biscuits,
groats and peeled barley; sugar from Rositz (N 52/K 27); salt from
Stassfurt (11 52/D 66); vinegar from Erfurt; canned meat from Halber-
stadt (",,I 52/D 27); canned fish from Barth (N 55/P 25); from Berlin-
Zentralviehhof of meat and fish, including herring and cod-fish; and
from U.S.S.R. millet, rice and tea. The foodstuffs were made into
shipments and dispatched to various military posts in the Soviet %one
of Germany. sometimes foods like macaroni, noodles, etc, which came
from '4urzen and were not needed for the supply of troops in Ger.--.!any
were sent to the U.S.S.R. (18

18, One cr two trains of about 30 boxcars each, carrying farinaceous
food from the Krietsch firm at utiursen, 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. ahile the tobacco was issued in unusually
large quantities the issue of biscuits was blocked. (21)
20. Laborers working in the arzgy 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 tines and all storerooms were filled
to capacity. (1s)
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 two weeks to Schwerin
(i 15'/T '6 ), Halberstadt (,i 52/D 27) and Erfurt. A train of 32 box-
cars, loaded chiefly with canned goods and farinaceous food was dis-
patched to Erfurt on 17 August 1950. (18)
22. Most of the meat needed by army and All' 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..atored in the depot. The last three tons of
coffee had been sold to the trading organization (HO) in July 1950" 50X1-HUM
24..
25. The depot at Frankfurt/Oder was controlled by a Soviet office at Pots-
dam (N 53/Z 63) which also controls an army ration supply depot of
about the same capacity at Satzkorn (N 53/Z 54), (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 54/U 52)
50X1-HUM
27. On 23 June 1950 it was observed that a Soviet ration supply depot was
in the northern section of the restricted area at Fuerstenberg, north-
east of Roeblin Lake. Several boxcars on the siding in-'front 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-M uehlenwerke--Fuerstenberg (Nationalized Flour
Mills) are in the southern section of the restricted area. About 90 50X1-HUM
percent of its products are delivered to the soviet Occupation yorces..
A nnpnial naac is required for this area. Trucks
were seen near the gate to the elevator area on a emann--

37. In Sly 1950 it was observed that an old German armored train composed
of 25 cars armed with 15 105-m. howitzers and 5 86-mm AA guns was still
standing on the southern part of the spur track to the Perseburg air-
field. The b e the s of al artillery pieces had been removed. Seven
railway guns stood along the hangars on the same track.
These guns, which were moue ed on flatcars and equipped with hoisting 50X1-HUM
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
1950 the armory hired 60 women. All soldiers observed in the area of the
airfield wore red-bordered black epaulets. (35) On 16 July 1950, 20
policemen cosy anded by a Soviet major practiced close-combat in trenches

menchenbernsdorf (11 5 J 95)
38. On 13 August 1950 the boviet fuel depot at Muenchenbernsdorf could nOt be
closely observed because of motor traffic and the dense goods. Several
dug-in fuel containers and temporary PAD (1Ieichis Labor Service) huts
were seen in the depot area. The latter quartered about 100 soldiers,
Thxse tank cars were pushed by a Diesel engine from the Lederhose (M 51/
J 95) freight station to the depot. Only type 170 V passenger car
was identified there. The purpose of a small fenced-in area
east of the main depot could not be determined. (36) 50X1-HUM

in the ncr thern 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 50 x 50 cm, another
pile of cartridge cases of about 120 min caliber and a third pile of
empty ta?k ammunition boxes were seen in the northern section of the
depot area beside the nce. At the daily changing of the guard at
6 p.m., truck arrived, occupied by 18 to 20 men. At night 50X1-HUM
the depot was fully lighted. At the corners of the fence watch
towers had been set up and were occupied day and night. (38)
Sc),zoenebeck (11 53/D 78)
)41. On 28 June 1950 the array clothing supply depot at Schoenebeck was
unexpectedly inspected by a colonel from the 41agdeburg (L1 53/Y 60) 50X1-HUM
koinmandatura 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
new underwear, boots and miscellaneous uniform items was ordered to
appear before them. (39)
42. The following list of stocks on hand in storage buildings 5, 6 and 7
was drawn up for the inspection:
21,000 overcoats 18,000 pairs of shoes
60,000 .trousers 13,000 steel helmets
60,000 service coats 25,000 ammunition pouches
15,000 belts 20,000 canteens

13. Activities in the depot increased between mid- and late July 1950.
Seventeen additional civilian laborers were hired, some as storehands
others for salvage work. (39)
)j1, The repair shop was staffed with 7 shoemakers and 11 female laborers,
including 7 women who had only recently been employed to meet the
current requirements. Another repairshop had been set up at Ia;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 1919. (39)
145, The amount of incoming, worn-out uniform items., arriving mostly from the
Bernau clothing supply depot, increased between mid-June and late July
1950. The trains, which generally consisted of 7 to 11 boxcars, were
irnmf:diately unloaded and dispatched to an unidentified destination after
being reloaded with ragged clothing. (10)
46, No measures indicating a mobilization were observed in the depot -prior
to late July 1950. The instal]a tion was guarded as before and no
preparations for air raid protection were observed. The -:Jerman employees
had no restraints on their liberties and the Soviets still had their days
