ployed 60 to 00 Germans, mostly women. The depot's notor pool was lo-
cated in r+ulkow Castle. On 1 October, truck_ with supply was 25X1 C
seen driving to the castle from the direction of Schoenebor , The service

large number of officers were seen. Jeep was parked in front of 25X1 C
the estate. Trucks were seen at the installation

2. According to available information, arraunition is inspected and cleaned at
the depot rather than being l:ianufactured. AA railroad official stated one
train with artillery ariunition would arrive at the depot about ever,-, veek0
After ' :eing processed, the ammunition is shipped out again. The last ob-
served shipment of artillery a 1.nmu- -i tion which arrived at the depot was on a

Cor :_,ant0 The information confirms the large Soviet ammunition depot at
..ulkow in U ho area of the Second Gds I.iecz Army, The subordination of the
depot cannot be determined, nor can that of the ammunition depot at I1ohon-
25X1 A leipisch. . The present report indicates that, ;ulkow is
also receiving large quantities of ammunition. According to reports or. rail
movements, which are incomplete, an average of 14 carloads of atmunition
arrived at the depot in ..ull.ow daily during the second half of September 1951.
25X1 A Unit training is ending, and therefore the current con--
surmption of ammunition by the troops will considerably decrease and, the large
amounts of incoming ammunition will probably be stored. An exact -interpre-
tation of the increase of incoming ammunition shipments is difficult as the
figures for last year are not available for comparison. '-iorrever, it may be
the usual fall storage of ammun.U.on? the motor vehicles belong to the 12th
Gds Tank Div of the Second dds Army, the 25th Tank Div of the Fourth Gds
"ecz Arrr and to the Pear Services of the Third Gds .Iecz Army.
