The East Gorman trading organization, Deutsche Warenvortriebageaellscha.ft
(Dwv)o is shortly to receive a special consignment of 2,000 carats If
industrial diamonds through the Soviet trading a oncy, Raznoimport.
These will be passed to 1TDS Kaboiwork Xoepenick ( ) for drilling;
half the consignment will then be delivered to f(ettstedt whore they
are required for the manufacture of -very fine nickel wire. This wire
has been ordered by a wire weaving plant (one of the TEWA group).
_0om-ments
1. The fact that this deliv?ry'of diamonds is comirig'through Raznoimport
appears significant, since DWV usually procures these stones through 'its
black market'contacts
The quantity is also unusually large, in fact, more than that plan-n for
the whole of 1955.
