Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/10/21 CIA-RDP13X00001R000100270008-7 ? The purpose of this paper is to assess as far as possible the accuracy of the production estimates of enemy military equipment based on the direct evidence of serial numbers and other markings on the equipment. Front the summer of 1943 to March, 1945 the Economic Warfare Division of the American Embassy issued intelligence reports based on the analysis of markings. In general these reports contained three types of analysis. 1. Aggregate output data by time period for specific types of military equipment. 2. Pipeline analysis, that is, length of time between manufacture and use at the front, of specUic types of military equipment. 'Production by individual manufacturers of specific types of military equipment. The direction of the investigations Was guided partly by the availability of the data, and partly by the needs of the intelligence consuming agencies. Often markings were procurable which could have ielded considerable information, but for which the need id not warrant the expenditure of effort. Again, some subjects were of considerable interest but the effort which would have been required in the :told to obtain the noceseAry markings was beyond what this organization could muster. Some work was done on all of the following Items: 1 Tanks 2, AsvAult O1A3 3* Malrftiracks 4* Guns , 5* Motor YehloIes 6* Tires 7# tlyint lombe 8. RoCkote 90 Ammunition t of the individual plant figures used to check the serial nulhor estimates were obtained by a field at out for the purpose.

They neither skipped numbers nor used numbers more than once. There is no indication that the Germans suspected that serial numbers were a source of information to us, It Is interesting to note in this connection that the Germans themselves estimated the production of Russian tanks by using serial numbers. This report examinee the accuracy of the estimates of tanks, assault guns, half-tracks, motor vehicles, tirstoo guns, flying bombs, and rockets. No check is possible on the studies on enemy arammition, which contained no estimates of output but simply reported the pipeline of ammunition of various calibers which was captured in Italy and Prance. A general presentation of all the estimates for vihich mparable actual data exists is given in Chart I, Hero each estimate and the corresponding actual data are plotted on a scatter diagram. Those estimates which are correct lie on the 450 line. Only those estimates which aro individual and lated to each ether have been plotted. Thus the yearly estimates by type or model have boon used rather than the aggregate figures. In this way the data is shown in its most critical light since in cumulative figures the serial number estimats errors tend to balance out and any one large error is easily absorbed, It is interesting to note that all large errors ef serial nuMber estimation wore errors of under- eictimation? Por over 90% of all the estimates, however, the errors aro not of sufficient magnitude to impair the validity of the analysis. 'be reaord of the serial number estimates, as *hewn in Chart I and in tha subsequent studios of 'ash, type of equipment enhanced, proves that the mothod of analysis employed Is a valid and valuable source of oconeftic intelligence* Within the range of its eapabilities the technique of utilizing markings talon directly from enemy equipment is tratiottely superior to the nore abstract methlde of esttmktild productIon, mach at reconciling tho often etilely divergent prisoner of war re-ports, basing estimate* on pre-war capabili/los,, or prclsoting trestle in protuotion on estimates of the gtmers1 3.0t*1 et adomemlo utilisation of resources Ln an soustry.

This origintl investigation was extended and revised in a series of subsequent reports issued through March, 1945, which covered produotion of tanks and assault guns by types and makers and calculations of the pipeline from apsembly to front line use. Tanks, Total Production Table I, below, summartzes the tank output estimates by year and by typo and comparesthem with production figures obtained from the Speer Ministry. Total annual tank production is presented in graphic form Is Mart II. Estimates are from the 1 January, 1944 study, tbo 27 3eptember, 1044 study, and extensions amil corrections made in later papers. The biggest error In estimating annual tank production vias for 1040, 'hers output was overestimated 39%. All the other yearly over-all tank production estimates are less Own 16% in error.

In the report of 27 Sept. 1944 seven assembly firms were listed with the 1943 production which had been linked with them. However, these figures were not presented as the total output of these plants because in tho case of every model except the Tiger there was a residue of production on which the data was not sufficiently complete to allow assignment to a firm.

Since adequate coverage for these models Was impossible, it was felt that estimates made for later yoars should not attempt to present any over-all figure for tank and assault gun production. Tho record of the tank serial number estimates is extremely good in comparison with other estimates made by Allied intelligence agencies.

Analysis of German propaganda for home-front consumption discloses that while m literal translation of the phrase 'unegtaditional wrrendor" h*3 rarely been wmployed to convtnce the German people uht there is no altarnative but to continue the war, the concept of surrender has bacome associated in the German mind wW-1 the worst catastrophies which could befall the population. The horrible prospects or exile to Liberia, otennel slavery, de-industrialisation, break-up or Germany, and even stertlitation? have been carefully portrayed to the 3srmans by timeir Vast Zeadcra. It is considered that the amain spirit of realstanos hes been bolstered graatly by fear of the consoquences of unoondittonal surrender. 2.Black propaganda diseeminated by wholly secret salons and purportin to origins te from wt thin enemy souraries could Dinani ;Ida value or this theme by to 4jjiato "unconditional surrftters rr tho anictions Nazi leaders ralea biaa pratticting to t heir peoplaiQ Voiliiiiatioula *um.4 te demsnded of e Govornmont bp th allos, but It ippU.s okay to Cho Oovernment and obroliOdht, and n to us as individuals. eimpt Of Allia4 rarees In Italy., 401, 10%**/01* mid occupied arenas of , 0 04,001tiono smolditing frail T4% r 4 Weetel surronder , nne-Imccifipri and Approved For Release 2013/10/21 CIA-RDP13X00001R000100270008-7 is? - 7;4 Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/10/21 : CIA-RDP13X00001R000100270008-7 b, 4o1vert the the to a black propaganda wespoD of our ova byIII21W0aa "unconditional aurrendW with desirable rether Chan fearsome prospects. 241LaLsEitt trnoonditional surrender means "our" delivery tot thc Nasi yoke and would represent a new beginning for Uhl> Oerman people wherein our' biologiaal stranth, shrewdnese, and acienti- fio prowess would soon lead NI " to a healthy *concede and social position.

If an alphabetical list of the names quoted in this report were made, one would automatically obtain the list of the loading Intellectuals who have worked in the last fears In Germany under the direct leadership or with the essistance of military man such as General Ewald von Massow, General Haushofer, General von Epp, SS. General Lorenz, General Booker, General Faupel, Admiral von troth, and many others.
