6. The shipments observed at Strausberg railroad station between 1 and 28
May 1954 included crates with a yellowish gray paint and 2 iron clips
and loops probably for lifting , a crane. The cover with the
sidewalls could be taken off from the bottom section. Some crates
had small glass windows in the front vv2.1. The crates observed had
4 different sizes which here estimated from the sire of the railroad
cars on which they were loaded-,
7. During the period under review, 50 to 70 railroad cars were daily
shunted to the former Str ausberg airfield on the track which leads
to the Soviet supply depot. Thus, the railroad line is almost
"blocked. The DHZ Holz (Deutsche Handelszentrale) (German Trade
Central for Timber) which is located along the line is allowed to
load only at night and the required railroad cars are made
available only after 2100:. :sharing the last two weeksq there was
little traffic to and from the depot by the Soviet Army. The list
of incoming and outgoing shipsments at Strausberg depot is complete.

Comment. The five trucks
which were reportedly loaded with tires, belong to the rear s ?.'ice
~' the Soviet Army (GsyG) in the Ruedersdorf? trausberg 'rankf rt
area.. This indicates that the Soviet Army and Air Force exchange
specific supply goods; once, a nuna tion crates were observed
arriving at S trausbera de of on army trucks
observied in Strausberg. N? y truck chassis with radio super truct`,res
were reported previously,
eavy tra _c of incoming and outgoing truck chassis was still

and while being shipped to the subordinate depots at Doeberitz
and llea:hols. Glass windows are also fitted in the front walls
of crates for jet engines d
