The i etrovka -slant in Dnepropetrovsk (34059 TE/48028tN) ,
Ukrainian 63R, is in the western part of the tovwn, south of
the road to ;Dneprodzerzhinsk, and 6-5E of the _iolotov Plant.

blast furnaces and the ielsobalka llant were seriously damaged

b. It was learned from 6oviets that parser S1aas supplied by the
large Zaporozhe power plant.
o. Railroad connections with various dispersed branches were
available. for slag shipments, a single-track standard-gauge
railroad line led from the western hart on a dam to the Dnieper

a.. ' he plant layout of the Petrovka Fla t ., as shown by attached
sketch, corresponds in its essential parts ,i th previous in-
formation,
b, tae retort confirms that the lielsobalka nollini ..ill is
cart of the Petrovka Plant. The rolling mill nresu-:iably is
comprised of the buildings ido 5 through 7 of the nnex, In
the eor1?uent of the last report on the Petrovka slant the as-
s urn tion was advanced that the two plants be lonL' to?-ether.
.
It now seer-is rossible that the two plants and the -.solotov
Plant, located north. of the road, form one plant, the large
Potrovski iron plant
d. The arrow on the sketch, indioatinr the lk; km distance to
the Lenin i'lant , seems to be a proof that some entries on
the German military Ceo, raphioal T(xvn :ap of .ineprope trovsk,
issue 1941, were false. contradicting the statements of various
other sources, the Lenin Plant is entered on the .:ilitary Geo--
graphical '. ovrn yap Ji,io 10 on the site of the Aolotov Plant.
i1'rom this, presumably a wrong entry, it was previously concluded
that at least the ..i:olotov Plant was a reconstructed part of the
former Lenin Plant.
.d. further information is required to obtain final clarification
on this grout, of related plants in the west Hart of Dnepropetrovsk.
