r3.in, the movements of refrigerator carat both loaded and et pty, via aoviot
Zone border c ossin points have been tabulated. The tabulation coverinC the
Period #rori :L6 June to 15 July 1951 indicates that a total of 789 loaded and 23
sr ty cars entered the ,Soviet gone of sore r and 800 empty and 57 loaded cars
loft the Soviet Lone. IhereSore, the number of mooning cars and that of
cu.*ioinz; cars were approximt?lyy in equilibrium,
A notably large number of refrigerator cars has paszsd through ?rankfwt/Oiler
since 30 Lay 1951, This same occurrence was observed durin a tbreo-areek peeied
in 1951 (ale) when refrigerator shuttle trains with numbers of the 8xx series
hauled meat and fats frorz the UoS.SoRo to the Soviot Zana of G

shiprnonts of rra and fats from the U.S6S.R, were bound for Berlin.-Zentral-
viehhof , Leipzig.Leutsch, :3rosden-'riedrichstadt, fort-,Nast, Zwi,cl:au, Ghern3.tzs
Thalia and doir-ara It has not boon deteriined whether those ships nta h.,vta been
consi.;;ned to the voviet occupation forces or to the uoviot Zone civilian
population, llowever, it is believed that the shipments are for both the ni.litary
and civilian use as ii litany forces can a1;7ays andsw supplies stockpiled for
civilian consumption,, 3a On 25 Lay 19.51, the Soviet Zone rai.i ad owned 592 refrigerator cars in addition
to 50 refrigerator cars rented from Czechoslovakian ** Poland rejected a rcquoct
to lease refrigerator cars. These figures slim that the stock of refrigerator cars
in the Soviet Zone of Gerrany does not moot reguirer nts. Cars of this typo which
have been built recently in tho soviet Zone of Gorraatzy are all "for delivery to
the U.S.S.R. on reparations account and under export agreements.
