I n Jaruai' , a Gerrian? el.ectriciahl received *-,err.i: lion from Lieutenant
Colonel Zevatkin (fnu)'to enter the bunker to dotornino it the transformer
had been snitched off by the Soviet electricians. This mac dono because
the G,.)rman electricians presumed that other barracks buildin ;; wore
supplied with electric power from thia transformer. 3onewl:at later, however,
the rermiosion was rrit,1clrawn. Since that time, the German electricians
have refused to do repair wort. in some of the barracks bNuilclin"- . They
a^ ed that tln transformer in the bun der be switched off ,M7iiz- their
work. But no German was allo>ed to enter the bunk.-or and the ]ov-ioto
refused to dive any information cor_cornine: the installati c.h. Therefore,
