3-4 'kilometers east of Dzershinsk? (56-15 N, 43-24.13), in ?the -??? .?
Gorkovekaya Oblast. To' my knowledge, Zavod 96 carried the Post-
box (Podlitoviy Yastchik) number 16. This number was observed by
me on official papers processed by the plant administration, and
it appeared on several occasions in letters addressed tO the

never used this :number for their personal correspondence nor was
this number ever assigned to them. -The- post'' office box fox' this

installation fOr processing nf fuels'with low boiling
points. It contains a number of thermal cracking fur-
naces and distilling Columns. The plant and its entire
equipment Alio-; not present a modern appearance. An ex-
tensive number 101 pumps can be seen in the proximity of
the plant and the :numerous (approximately 20) distilling
columns. Raw material (crude oil) ie pumped in by means

presumably fuel, to Zavod 96 from other plants in the
Dzerzhinsk-arei. /t-was generally said that the output
volume_pei sistem was 'supposedly much lower than that
of the equivalent unit formerly in operation at Leuna.
Finished products were transported out of the plant in
tank cars (railroad).
Dr._GERICKE (consultant for the oil cracking plant)
often hinted:of production curtailments which !supposed-
ly were due-to raw material (fuel) shortagesoas?well
as the scarcity of hydrogen supplies. To,my.knowledge,
hydrogen was notirproduced at Zavod 96 but delivered to
the plant,from the Chemical plant Kalinin

(blimps) pulled by.motor and horselidrawn vehicleig-(dur-
ing wintersmontherWeled). These cigar-shaped :blimps
were suspended.in.the'air one to two meers:abotethe

proximately'25 Cubic meters.

(19) Production Planning Section
This section is charged with drawing up production plans
for the various production plants and installations,
quality and capacity standards, establishment of produc-
tion quotas, and,other-i4ortant planning and operational
phases. It coordinates closely with all major departments
and operational sections of the plant. The plant director
and chief engineer are largely responsible for the over-
all planning operations. Annual production plans are
drawn up and issued to the plant by the Ministry for Chem-
ical Industry in Moscow. Important factors in till's plan-
ning are probably the plant's productive capacity, annual
reports from the plant administration, and requirements
and workload of other similar plants of.the USSR. The
ministry keeps close liaison with Zavod 96 through vari-
ous representatives who can be seen inspecting the plant
at periodic intervals. The Glavasot (Main Dapartment
Witrogene) department in Moscow gee page 352 is ?to my
knowledge largely responsible for the direction of
Zavod 96.
(20) Production Control Section and Statistics
Major functions consist of supervision of plan fulfill-
ment, evaluation and control of production norms;

First Secretary of the Partkom
The Partkom through,its functionaries guides and governs
the entire political and economic life of the plant. The
Partkom is largely engaged in the furtherance of politi-
cal propaganda, dispemination of directives and litera-
ture? organization of political meetings, stimulation and
encouragement Of workers for better production, etc. The
position of,First Secretary of the Partkom is-the most
important and authoritative at the plant.
(76) Chairman of the Zavkom
In my opinion, the Zavkom, a subsidiary of the Soviet
State Trade Unions, does not represent the Soviet working
class as such, but serves more the interests of the gov-
ernment, and in this case, the plant director. The major
.functions include 'encouragement of workers for better
productivity, oalle, for. socialistic pledges for raise in
production, organization of sporting events, Stakhanovite
competitions, soliciting for State bonds, and others. TO
my knowledge, considerable nutbers of Soviet workers be- ,
long to the trade unions. Apparently, the workers derive ?
certain-advantages-frothmembership.

(78) Special Brigade...0 Zavod 96
. .
. .
This brigade, consisting of a number of technological,
design, and calculation offices., was known to us as
temporarily attached to Zavod 96 in connection with
the redevelopment .and reconstruction of the Leuna dis-
mantled plants brought to the USSR in 1946. At the ?
plant, therbrigade worked under the technical super-
vision of the plant's chief engineer, KHRULOV. How-
ever, the special brigade is directly subordinate to
the Project Institute No. 3 in Moscow. This institute
functions as a planning and design department of the
Ministry for Chemical Industry. The largest group of
the German specialists, then headed by Dipl. Ing.
LOETZSCH (deceaeed), was placed to work at this brig-
ade. Specifically, ihis brigade was primarily en-
gaged in controlling and compiling plans and designs
of projects prepared by the German specialists. These
materials had to be translated, redrafted, and pre- .
pare4, in accordance with the specific requirements
of the Soviet reporting system, for shipment to the '
Projeot Institute No. 3. my second chart 5ee page 3g
illustrates Ahe relation of the brigade to the organi-
zational structure of Zavod 96, the parent ministry and
and its respective departments, and also shows the
placement of the German specialists within the plant
installations.

it. Upon arrival in the USSR the German specialists were as-
signed the task of redesigning and reconstructing the vari-
ous dismantled plants and installations brought to the USSR
from three chemical centers in Germany. ghe dismantled
Plants and machinery are listed below in Para. 72 During
the period of our employment at the plant the German en-
gineers arid designers were engaged in the preparation of new
designs and plans involving machinery and installations
documented at lass in.1946 and brought to Zavod 96. Al-
hough based on the documented records, this work required
ainumber of 'modifications and Adjustments to suit the Soviet
specifications, requirements, and facilities. Because of
the Soviet 'system of shifting the prepared materials from
one. department to another where, seemingly after careful
study, new chances, euggestiona, and added specification/I
were made, the completion of the various projects 'under
development at the plant could not be accomplished in less.
than 1* to 2 years'.
.5. In the beginning, the Soviets were primarily invereited in
the developtent of two. major projects, namelyithe Lacteal
and Adipic Acid processes. However, during the later years
of our employment at the plant, many other processed and
reconstruation phases were under development requiring
close work and coordination of the various German groups.
Pour Of the Lonna chemists, headed by Dr. LOEVENBERG, were
engaged in the research and development of lacteal products,
which also included oyclohexanol, cyclohexanones catalysts,
and various polymerisation processes. Dr. BERNDT, one of'
the four chemists, was primarily engaged in developing
Chemical contact agents for such products as lacteal, methy-
lene chloride and others'. These chemists worked during the
entire stay at the plant in'the main laboratory together
With, many of the'Soviet chemists employed at Zavod 96. In
addition to their laboratory activities, the four German
ohemiets'anted as consultants for the various reoonetrud-
tion projects in process at the plant.
6. The largest group of the Leuna specialists, 17 ehgineers
and designers, was assigned to a special brigade, known as
"the Brigade" a% Zavod 96 the number (78), Para 2 abovs7.

The remaining specialists, the majority of whom belonged to
the Bitterfeld group, were placed in various plants and in-
stallations in accordance with their professional know-
ledgeability. They worked on individual projects under the
supervision of the chief engineer, KHRULOV.

From correspondence between Dr. RUNIC and a Dr.
SCHUSTER, (who, I believe, was located in Rubeshnoye
in the ilkraine),'I learned that color film and color
photo plants were transported from Agfa Wolfen prob-
ably to this location in the Ukraine. To my know-
ledge, personnel belonging to this plant were returned
to GermenY.sometime in 1949/50.
GERMAN PERSONNEL EMPLOYED AT THE CHEMICAL PLANT OKA
8. In the middle of 1948, the so-called ASINGER group, con-
sisting of six German specialists from Leuna, arrived in
bzershinsk and was assigned to the chemical plant OU
(number unknown'). This plant, one of the six or seven
chemical plants of the Dzerzhinsk area, adjoins Zavod 96
to the east. the OKA plant is known to mo as a research
and production plant, but the nature of work performed by
the German specialists employed there is unknown to me.
However, it was known that a new research laboratory was
established therm. in 1948 for the use of the newly.ar-
rived group-.. This group, upon arrival in the USSR, was
originally i51aced at the Karpov Institute in Moscow' and
continued working :there until the time of tieinefer'tod'
