(Honstruktorskoye Byuro) was organized under the auspices of the All-Undon
Ministry of Agricultural Machine Building (M.S.Kh.M.). At this installa-

Beginning with a skeleton crew, the Soviet
complement gradually reached its peak during the end of 1947 when

4. By the middle.of-1947 the Design Bureau was fully ready for opera-
-'- tion. --The function of the KB No.3 was the development of the
-,missilesiffPanzerfaust7 and of athodydes. In the .very'first years,
this function was executed. by German and Soviet engineers working
' in:unisen,but with the major share resting on the shoulders of the
_;.GerminS.: However, towards the end of 1947 or during 1948 an iron
.-Ourtaiicaescended which-split the KB No.3 into two parts, one
,Oetmaliand the other Soviet. This 'separation was on the one hand
administrative in that the Soviets were organized into technical
_groups- distinct from the Germans. On the other hand, a Physical
.aegregation- occurred with the' construction of a fence to separate
the Germane-from the Soviets within the KB No.3. While this iron
eUrtain,shrOuded the work of the Soviet element of KB' No.3 in a

'was nevertheless obtained as result of inadvertent disclosures and
. other inferences.
EVOLUA1ON OF-KB No.3
-First Phase
?
5t ?Pron./in organizational and partly technical standpoint-, it is ,
'possible to distinguish at least three phases in the develotment
?the Design Bureau. From November 1946 until the spring of .
1947,-KB No.3 Was-composed mostly of Germane. It was divided into
three technical units, to each of which a few Soviet engineers-and
other minor technical help were assigned. The total number of .
Soviets ede approximately 15. pring this first phase, the 111 No.3'
was essentially a"part.of the firing range, S.N.I.P.,located. in
Krasnoarmeyskiy. . Apparently, S.N.I.P, had beena ?signed the
initial responsibility for organizing the new installation by the ,
Ministry, M.S.ith.M. The subordination of the KB No.3 to
was evidenced by the fact that the chief of KB No.3 was at the-.'
same.time.deputy chief of S.N.-I.P.- .Furthermore, moat of the'
original Soviet personnel came from the S.N.I.P.-range. '

See-0nd Phase
6. During thempring of 19479 the first chief of KB No.3 (also deputy
chief of S.N.I.P.) was renlaced_by DAVISHEV
Soon after.DAVISHEVIs arrival the
relationship between S.N.I.P. and KB No.3 dhanged perceptibly, from
' one of subordination to independence or at least interdependence.
While the',Iist chief had his main office in the headquarters build-
ing of S.Nd.I.P., DAVISHEV had his permanent office within KB No.3.
Furtherlore4 some of the Soviet personnel who had been borrowed from
S.N.I.P0 were returned, and new clerical and technical help, which
had had no'ftior contact with S.N.I.P9'was assigned. Although KB.
No.3 had achieved an administrative independence, it was never-
theless to some extent still dependent on S.N.I.P, in technical
matters. The testing of combustion chambers and the firing of test
model projebtiIes aid missiles during the early part of the second
phase had to be.carried out on the S.N.I.P. range. Meanwhile, how.
ever, the KB No.3 completed its own firing range which was ready
for operation by the end of 1947. In regard to communal services
too, the ;independence of KB No.3 was reflected. By 1948 the area
which had formerly been under control of S.N.I.P, became a part of
the newly incorporated Krasnoarmeyskiy.
the initiative came
from DAVISHEV, who sought the change and consequently went out of
his way Lo magnify and emphasize the difficulties and the in-
adequacies of the earlier organizational pattern. From the stand-
point of technical activity at the Design Bureau, the second phase
coincided with the steady rise in Soviet technical personnel and
later the establishment of separate Soviet technical sections. The
Soviet sections paralleled the work of the various German sections
but continued to exchange their technical information and problems
freely with the German specialists. Finally, the end of the
second phase also saw the iron-clad division of the German from
the Soviet element within KB No.3.

8. Coincident with the founding of the DDR in October 1949, the
German specialists were abruptly divorced from all military projects.
Until their return to Germany during June 1952, they were assigned
to non-military designing projects which dealt exclusively with
agricultural machinery. The only exception was TROMMSDORF who
continued until the very end to work together with the Soviet engineer
.SUDAKOV on a supersonic compressor for jets. This work was of course
regarded as secret . As before, 50X1-HUM

ORGANIZATION OF THE DESIGN BUREAU (KB No.3)
From 1946 - 1947
9. In view of what has beim stated above, the personnel and brganizaa
tion of KB No.3 was in continuous flux, particularly during the
early period. It is rather difficult to speak of any organization
at.all since KB No.3 was nlimerically weak and any individual Soviet
may have carried out various functions. Furthermore, it must be

.a. Supervising Agency: All-Union Ministry of Agricultural
. . Machine Building (M.S.Kh.M.)
The Design Bureau, KB No.3, was organized in 1946 under the
Auspices of the Ministry, M.S.Kh.M. this 50X1-HUM
Ministry has two or more separate main divisions, one of
which deals exclusively with armaments. The other division
or divisions of the Ministry carry out functions whioh.are
normally identified with a similar Ministry in other countries.
In 19500 when the German specialists at KB No.3 were assigned
to.'non-military projects, the supervising agency was one 50X1-HUM
(perhaps the only one) of the non-military divisions of the
u 4 Vh NI anti inn lnnoAr thA ArmArdAnt Division
The ?head of the Armament Division of M.S.Kh.M. between 1946 50X1-HUM
nd the end of 1948 was General ZAKHANITZKI.
ZAKHANITZKI was a frequent visitor at 50X1-HUM
L$N?75, He also visited the S.N.I.P. ranee when he was in
Kraanoarmeskiy0 the Armament
50X1-HUM.
Division of the Ministry was also in charge of the S.N.I.P.
firing range. Another Soviet institute which was suborlinate
to the Armament Division of the M.S.Kh.M. was located in the
vicinity of the Yaroslavskiy Railroad Station in Moscow and
was headed by a Colonel DIADLOV. A newly created Soviet
institute in Krasnoarmeyskiy was also, to the beet of my
knowledge, subordinate to the Ministry, M.S.Kh.M. This
institute was temporarily heeded until June 1.952 by the Soviet
engineer TARNOVSK/Y 50X1-HUM
b.. Chief of KB No.3
From November 1946 until mid-1947 this post was held by 50X1-HUM
Lt.Col. RYATIPOV. At the same time, RYATIPOV held the post
of deputy chief of the S.N.I.P.. firing range.
:r---even in his capacity as chief of KB No.39 he was sub- 50X1-HUM
ordinate to Colonel IVANOV0 who headed the S.N.I.P. range.
RIATIPOVis office was located in the headquarters building
inlirasnoarmeyskiy. His secretary was Mrs. PLISKINA, who
returned to the S.N.I.P. range in mid-1947. After his
departure from KB No..30 RYATIPOV was assigned to the
Armament Division of the Ministry, M.S.Kh.M.,,in Moscow as
deputy to. General ZAKHANITZKI. IYATIPOV's replacement was
DAVISHEV. As already mentioned, the KB No.3 became gradually
independent of the firing range during the first
year after DAVISHEV's appointment and XB No.3 now became
directly responsible to the Armament Division of the Ministry,
M.S.Khad.
c. Administrative Section
During RYATIPOVIs leadership the number of Soviets at the
Design Bureau was approximately 15. This number gradually
increased after ?the arrival of DAVISHEV. However, during the
first year of DAVISHEVIs leadership, en:AdminiBtrativeteection as

,Dpring the six months of RYATIPOV9s leadership, the technical
personnel of KB Ro.3 consisted of the 17 German specialists
and a Soviet engineer and lesser technical help. .The German
specialists were divided into three groups each headed by a
German group chief. and his Soviet co-supervisor. The group
chiefs were directly responsible to RYATIPOV. To each German
.group, a few Soviet technicians such as calculators and drafts-
men', were assigned. These were subject in disciplinary
matters ?to the Soviet co-supervisor of the respective group.
.In technical matters they were to a large extent subject to
direction by the German group leader. At firet a fourth
German group had been planned which was to reconstruct the
German wartime "Rotkaeppchen" project. The group was to be
headed by BOEHM,. who had had experience with this project;
however, the group did not receive final Soviet sanction.
Under the guidance of DAVISHEV, this arrangement gradually.'
edhanged. At first the number of Soviet engineers in each
Getman group increased. , Then they were Withdrawn from the
German groups as the Soviet engineers were divided into three
-groups, .eadh of which paralleled the work of a corresponding
'German group. The. Soviet groups had constant contact with
the-German groups, and technical information was freely
exchanged. Some Soviet engineers, in fact, continued to
virtually work within the German group. The organization
pattern below shows the divisions prior to 56X1-HUM
the removal of Soviet engineers from the German groups.
Furthermore under DAVISHEVos guidance, an experimental work-
shop gradually developed in which the test models of our design
were constructed.

of the nature of a technical committee,-
consisting of ULYANOV, TARNOVSICV ROTSTEIN,
SUDAKOV and DEVIAKOV.
The German specialists continued to be'
- organized into the three groups listed above.
Their military function remained unchanged
(see above) until 1950. The only change
that occurred was the replacement of SCHAADT
by BOEHM as group leader. Two reasons for
this change iarst, SCHAADT
had identified himself falsely as a Dr?Ing?50X1-HUM
This falsification became known to the
Soviets and resulted in .a reduction in his
wages. The-second reason for his replace-
ment by BOEHM was the failure of his group
to fulfill Soviet requirements on a technical
project. The German element was further,
affected by the reorganization changes of
DAVISHEV when most of the Soviet co-workers
and the three Soviet co-supervisors were
remoVed from the German groups. Only the
AULER group retained some Minor Soviet
technicians. Henceforth, the three 'German
groups were supervised by one Soviet
engineer, FRIEDMAN,whO was reeponsible to
ULYANOV., who in turn was responsible to
DAVISHEV.

employed by the S.N.I.P0 firing range and was apparently responsible
in the performAce of her duties to the First Section of the S.N.I.P.
range. As the Design Office expanded under DAVISHEV, so did the
First-Section. In the middle of l947 the Soviet girl returned to

this was done by the MVD since these units were vertically
organized and their ultimate supervising agency' was the MVD.
.Functions of the 'First Section
14. The functions of the First Section of KB No.5 were as follows.
a? Logging and distribution of all classified correspondence.
Classified correspondence whloh arrived at the Design
:Bureau was logged by this section prior to being handed
over to the office of the chief.
b. :Control of Classified Material,
All classified material in KB No03 came under the purview
of the First Section. Since all the military ro ects df
the German specialists were of such a nature2 50X1-HUM
continuous contact with this section. Each German and Soviet
technician was issued a suitcase by-the First Section. All
written material had to be placed in this suitcase each
afternoon and evening and the suitcase turned over to the
Firat SeCtion. The 'following morning the suitcase was re-
issued. Special locked,draWere ldpated in each designing
office were provided for the storage of large-sized draw-
ings and blueprints which had to be removed from the, draw,
ing table each evening. To some extent this security '
regulation lessened our work output since each night a queue
of technicians with their suitcases formed in front of the
.First Section, and this procedure was repeated every morning.
Before a report could be written by a specialist it was
necessary to register the report with the First Section. At.
this time it.was necessary to give an estimate on the number
of pages for the finished report. The completed reports
were turned over to the First Section which in turn transmitted
it to the chief of the KB No. j. The Soviets were especially

careful in regard to carbon paper. After the completion of
a report, all carbons used had to be submitted with the
report. The same applied to all notes and rough sketches
made in the process. These functions were of course
coupled with inspection powers. Each afternoon and evening
a member of the First Section examined the confines of
KB No.3 and noted violations of security regulations. In
addition, special periodic checks were made, especially
prior to the annual October celebration, to determine
whether the contents of each suitcase had been correctly
checked out and registered.
o. Maintaining and Controlling Archives
An additional registry, function dealt with reference
material. A considerable amount of material from the
archives of Rhein-MetallBorsig and various other,
unidentified German plants had been taken to KB'No.3.
This material, often incomplete, dealt primarily with the
wartime projects carried out by these plants and some
which the German specialists in KB No.3 had reconstructed
far the Soviets in Berlin. The Soviet policy in regard to
this archive vacillated continually. IA fist TO "
had ready access to the files, but in the later years the
German specialists were generally prohibited from using
this roforence material.
d. .Enforcement of Segregation
.During the middle of 1946 a fence, three meters high, was
construoted to separate the German specialists frvm the
Soviet element in the KB No.,. It was the function of the
First Sectioning.= the the German specialists remained
confined to their small area in the front part of the main
building. and that they did not have uncontrolled access to
the Soviet section of the Design Bureau. Before a Garman
specialiSt could visit the office of DAVISBET, a special
pass issued by the First Section was required, and a Soviet
employee (not necessarily from the First Section) had to
accompany the German.

e. Issuance of Identification Cards
The issuance of identification cards (ID) was the responsi-
bility of the First Section, although the very first ID
Oards were signed by the local MVD office. The ID card Was
for internal use only and could not be, taken from the 13 No.3.
Upon arrival at the Design Bureau in the morning, the
employee was handed the ID card and he had to sUrrenderlit
? again in the evening. This system applied to both German
and Soviet employees of KB No.3. In addition, every
employee had a pass issued by the First Sebtion which
a entitled the bearer to remove classified documents from
? the First Section (i.e. his own suitcase with material).
It is this pass which the Germans used for general is:tenth.

by a grey-lilac calico ID card. The ID card in use between
,1947 and 1952 was approximately 15 x6 cmc: ihd was folded
in the middle. On the inner left side was centered the
photograph of the bearer. Across the lower left corner, of
the photograph a stamp was affixed which showed the globe
and the inscription "M.S.Kh.M." Beneath the .photograph
a line was provided for the signature of the bearer. On
the inner right bide ,appeared, in Russian, the words

? No. of ID Card
On the lower right of this side appeared the'. signature of
DAVISHEV. In the empty space above the'pignature of
DAVISHEV, various symbols were stamped, the number and type
of which differed for every employee, Soviet or German.
Among the symbols which was a telephone receiver
which presumably indicated that the holder -of this ID card
was entitled to use the telephone in the plant. Another .
symbol, which resembled-somewhat a musical treble clef sign,
indicated that certain rooms were accessible to the bearer.
another symbol used in, KBNo.3 indicated
whether or not the bearer could be subjected to bodily
search when leaving KB No.3. Such a search was never
performed on the German specialists, however,
minor Soviet employees subjected to this search. I have
drawn a simple sketch of this ID card 5eproduced

IDENTIFICATION CARD USED BY SOVIET
AND GERMAN EMPLOYEES OF KB NO.)
As already mentioned, the Soviet employees of KB No.3 had
the same ID dards, except that different symbols appeared
on their cards. In the beginning of 1949, the German
specialists were issued new ID cards which/were exactly
:like the ones withdrawn (grey-lilac calico cover) except
that no symbols whatever were stamped thereon. This ID card
was retained

Relationship of the MVD to KB No.-3
17. As has been mentiOhed above (paragraph 133, the
First Section in KB No.3 and the First Section in the S.N.I.P.
firing range were directly responsible to the MVD. Also, it is
very likely that the personnel assigned to the First Septions.of
? these enterprises were hired by the MVD in Krasnoarmeyskiy. At
various times the chief of the MVD office inspected KB No.3 .for
the purpose of checking the plant's adherence to the security
regulations:
18.
the military guards on duty at the KB No.3
installation were connected with the MVD, although inspections of
the military guards were performed by their own officers. The
military guards wore first green and later blue piping on their
caps and were stationed in a caserne in Krasnoarmeyskiy which
housed approximately 60 Soviets.
