NOWIEC Area (5017N/1840E) locating this site.
1. STEEL PLT "1 MAY". Address: GLIWICE N WILENSKA Street. Pit
belonged to category "Ausgesondertes Staatsunternehmen"(Selected Governmental
Installation). Old pit, well known by its German abbreviation "VHO" (Vereinigte
Oberhuettenwerke United Main Steel Pit). Pit did not suffer war damages, approx
80% of machinery was dismantled and taken to Russia in 1945 after the war, recon-
str started and part of pit operated in 1946. Machinery at that time was de-
livered by a steel pit located in FRIEDENSHUETTE (coord unkn). Machines of
German origin, new. Other machine tools came from machine tool pit "RAFAMED"
located at RATIBOR (5005N/1812E) formerly Steel Pit HEGENSCHEID. Machines from
Germany, CSR, RUSSIA, ENGLAND, FRANCE and other cities in POLAND. In 1957, pit
received a Soviet 15m lathe rosted all over. Pit received 2 brand new ingots
cutting machines with automatic control from a machine tool pit WALDRICH, located
at SIEGEN, Bundesrepublic. Due to the automatic control, poles had great diffi-
culties in operating them. Pit already had some lathes from Soviet Union with
automatic control. S compared both the Soviet and West German machines and
stated they were about equal as to quality, however, the Soviet machines were less
complicated and would last longer. Manager of pit was MITRENKA, Joseph (7) born
. in RATIBOR, 60 years old, 170cm tall, grey hair, heavy set, member of Communist
Party. Technical director was engineer PIETSZIK, FNU, 45 years old, 180cm tall,
athletic figure, dark hair, member of Communist party, no knowledge of steel
production. Commercial. director was MAINKA, FNU, about 40 years old, 180cm tall,
slender, dark hair, spoke good German. Director for Sale and Purchase was RUNDE,
FNU, about 40 years old, 175ct tall, slender, dark hair, very mush liked by
laborers although party member, engineer by profession.

chedks on workers. Nevertheless, it continuously happened that lgborere smuggled
materials, mainly alloys which were rare in Poland. All vehicles were searched.
A laborer caught by smuggling was relased immediately and taken over to police.
S heard. from oo-workers that some guards could be bribed.
4: STREET SYSTEM. All streets in pit area 5m wide with small
cobblestone pavement.
5. PLT ENCLOSURE. Masonry wall 2m high, except for NE Side of
pit, where there was a 2m high board fence.
6. ENTRANCE. It was used by people who did not work in the pit
but picked up materials for private sector in GLIWICE. Such people had to ask
for a limited pass in Guard House (Pt 8). With that pass, visitors of pit had
to use Main Entrance (Pt 3). There was a separate mesh wire enclosure from
Guard House (Pt 8) to this entrance, unauthorized persons could not enter pit.
7. BLDG. Brick structure, low angle tarpppered roof.
A. SECTION. Two-story, approx 50x15x6 to 8m. First floor
divided into storage section and a laboratory. Storage section used for replace-
ment parts of tools, rivets, screws, nuts, bolts, copper and brass sheets. Labor
tory used for checking steel samples, modernly equipped, 2 men and 3 women and a
storage seotion for electrical goods such as cables, wires (copper and aluminum)
overhead line cables, underground line cables, switches, plugs, insulators, fuses
bulbs, etc. . Bulbs and fuses brought in partly from CSR, SOYZONGER and pits in
POLAND. There was an extensive lack of copper cable. S once needed 320m oopper
cable of 1.5 sq millimeters and pit had to send a courier to WARSAW (5215N/2100E)
for the cable, since no pit in Upper Silesia (SW Poland) could deliver such
cable. S stated that overhead lines mostly consisted of aluminum wire and in som-
cases even plain iron wire.
B. Storage Section. Single story, 30x15x6 to 8m. Used for
storage of fire proof bricks fir furnaces in Foundry (Pt 870) and for making
molds.
C. Storage Section. Single story brick, 30x17x6 to 8m. Used
for the storage of replacement parts for machine tools, cranes etc. S learned
that there were no original replacement parts. They had to make such parts them-
selves. Small amount of such parts was made in a machine tool pit in Poland.
D. Electrical Repair Shop. Single story brick, approx 30x
18x6 to 8m divided into electrical repair shop and armature winding section.
Latter section did not contain any machines. Spool's coils and armatures had to
be wound by hand by approx 6 women. Armatures were wound with copper-wire. The
electrical repair shop was used by approx 105 men and women per shift, who worked
all over the plant repairing electrical facilities. This shop was equipped with
a 5 tons crane traveling from N to S 5m high manually operated by means of chains.
Furthermore there was a test stand for electric motors. Test stand had a maxi-
mum cap of 30 kilowatt. In SE part of section there were 3 transformers each
with a cap of 6,380 volts and 1,000 kilovolt ampere, feeding 380 volts lines for
administration, lathes and cranes.' Oil cooled transformers of German origin.
There was lack of oil. S stated that used transformer oil had to be collected
and sent off for filtering purposes. Filtered oil was used agiin. All electric
cables from the transformers were laid underground. ?
8. GUARD HOUSE. Single story brick bldg, approx 15x6x6 to 8m, low
angle tarpapered roof.
9. GARAGE. Single story brick bldg, 35x15x5 to 6m, low angle tar-
papered roof. Was used for 8 trucks, one bus and passenger cars of supervisory
personnel. There was a small repair shop for these vehicles in SE corner of blidg

tarpapered structure in a height of 5m. It was used only for unloading fire-7_
proof bricks, stored in Storage Section (Pt 7B).
12. BLDG. Single story brick bldg, approx 80x6x6m, low angle
tarpapered roof.
A. Storage Section. Molds for the alloy-foundry were
stored here as well as raw materials for foundry such as copper, brass, aluminum
and bronze.
B. Battery Loading Station. Batteries were stored and re-
loaded here. There had arrangement to change 10 batteries at the same time.
C. Civilian Air Defense Control Center. S learned that a
high percentage of laborers was trained in civilian air defense, Equippent in-
stalled in control center was of Swedish origin. There was a big switchboard,'
microphone for loudspeakers installed in bldgs in pit area, two telephones, one
connected with municple telephone exchange in town and one for making calls in-
side pit area (by pushing a button, all telephones in plt rang and the control
officer could speak to all offices the same time), ptsh buttons for releasing an
electrically operated qiiren, located on roof of High Tension Station (Pt 27)
and for releasing a steam powered siren, located on roof of the Boiler House
(Pt 45). S learned that the signals of the siren were just contrary to the
former German. A steady tune meant alarm and an up-and-down tune meant all-clear.
In case of emergeny, all civilian air defense personnel of the pit would be under
command of military town commander of GLIWICE. Although there is no war, this
control center was occupied day and night.
D. Office. House& dispatcher of transportation unit of in-

20x6 to Om, low angle tarpapered roof. It did not belong to pit but to Polish
Army for purposes.unkn to S. S assumed that alloy metal assays will be tested
here, since it was planned that Alloy Foundry (Pt 14) should later work hand in
hand with this institute which was put in operation in Jun or Jul 1957.. After
institute was put in operation, S never entered again. First floor contained 8
small electric-furnaces, lathes, presses, rolls, a switchboard and workbenches.
Furnaces and switchboard had been delivered and installed by Siemens an Austrian
firm at VIENNA. Second floor divided into offices. Entrance only from Wislenka
Street (Pt 1) guarded by same work-police than pit area. Approx 60 men and women
worked here, as S observed during change of shifts. S heard that this institute
