During the Second World War the German Signal Intelligence
Control Center of the Staff of the Chief of Army Signal Service
(HNW, LNA) issued a series of reports to show the USSR mili-
tary-economic situation as reflected in Russian internal plain
language traffic. These reports appeared at short, irregular
intervals, usually six per month, for the -3eriod October 1942-
March 1945, EiglFgAA U of these reports have been transla-
ted and issued by
It is planned to issue a complete set of translations of the re-
ports, beginning with the most recent anFiQ1 backward,
but omitting those already translated by The
numbering of the items was added by the translator ls(DJ j3 e

-inclusive. Since the original material was inRussian,
an effort has been made when translating the German to deter-
mine the original Russian term wherever possible. This is fa-
cilitated by the Russian fondness for abbreviations. In these
translations into English the --)rcaable meaning of the abbrevia-
tion will be given in parenthesis the first time it occurs in each
report-

Individual- Messages
1. PERSONNEL SITUATION
(1)
According to a decree of the- Presidium of the Supreme Council (Military-
Economic Report 1/6), special personnel of the River Fleet were exempt from mili-
tary conscription. According to a decree of 2 June-this also applies to all workers
of the transport divisions of the NK for the River Fleet and sovkhozes for specialper-
(2) 12.0 workers must be assigned to the shipbuilding and repair yard "Karl
Marx" in Go.rkij and 3000 persons to the Steamship Agency in Astrakhanfor repair
work, The last report dated 18 June originated shortly after the first attack by Ger-
man battle planes on Astrakhan.
2) METAL SUPPLY
-(3.) Moscow had to reprimand numerous plants for not fulfilling their delivery
obligation of scrap metal. The following had to be delivered among others:
Blagoveshchensk
89 tons
Krasnoyarsk
242
Kujbyshev
180
Omsk
240
Semipalatinsk
50
The amounts to be delivered did not move for six months. In Omsk and Semipalatinsk
it is a question of the six month delivery delay, in Kujbyshev it is a question of a back-
log. Krasnoyarsk may fall behind in its deliveries because of transport difficulties,
since the above amount was.already procured.
(4) The copper rolling mill in Tiflis,. which employs 36 persons, produced 26
tons of copper products in the first ten days of June. On 10 June there were 156 tons of
products which were not yet transported.

4), TRANSPORT SITUATION
(37) The transport situation in the Caucasus seems to be comparatively satisfactory.
(38) The Transcaucasian Railway Line "Beriya" reports the shipment of 2783 car-
loads of imported goods in May as opposed to 1050 carloads in April.
(39) In May 149 cars were authorized and made available for the Iron Industry in
Tiflis. However, only 127 cars have been used.
(40) Greater tobacco shipments are being carried out from and in Georgia. The
CD for Tobacco in Tiflis requires 140 cars for transport in July. The remainder of
tobacco for the .north amounted to 1400 tons on 1 June. -According to the July plan 220
cars have been established for the north. In addition, 300 cars are scheduled for military
deliveries.
(41) The transport situation in the River Fleet is rather strained. The transport
plans of the individual steamship agencies were not completely fulfilled in May and the first
half of June. The fulfillment of the June plan is required by the end of June.
(42) In Omsk the Steamship Agency likewise only fulfilled in part the technical plan
in May:
shipments
57%a
unloadings

tow service

use of tractive power

The result is. still unfavorable in June. Severe punishments are threatened in the
event the June plan is not fulfilled.

notice in connection with the appearance of "an international line" can, as already pointed
out in Military-Economic Report 1/6, ensure greater cooperation with foreign organizations
(Anglo.-American). This supposition is probable in view of the fact that more and more
frequent deliveries of foreign goods have been noted. For example, we observed 20 cases
of cyclone-motors (USA- ?) ready for shipment to the "Central Flight Camp of the Civil Air
Fleet" (Kazan?) in Murmansk
(.47) The Civil Air Fleet participated very vigorously in the Second War Loan.
There were subscriptions of 8 months' wages. One office subscribed 244. 5% of its monthly
wages. In many other places a full month's salary was subscribed. Very great value is
attached .to a speedy execution of the subscriptions.
(48) Units of the Civil Air Fleet are--apparently suffering from a shortage of person-
nel. During the last period more and more messages were signed by women. For example,
in Tashkent by Ragulina (30 May), in Baku by Moiseevka (31 May), in Stalingrad by Peskina
(30 May).
(49) Very significant is the message concerning the placing of women training
personnel with the 9th Flight Regiment and the 43rd Flight Squadron.
(50) At times .a serious shortage of fuel is noticeable in the Civil Air Fleet. This
can presumably be traced to difficulties in transportation or organization.
