4. Following earlier reports that orders placed by the Soviets with Schaeffer and
Sudenberg for steel castings for cement factory installations had been con-
verted to orders for steel for armor plating and gun-mountings, it is now learned
that the Soviets have ordered that these castings contain a high percentage of
manganese. This would seem to confirm the use to which the steel is to be puts
(20 November 1946)
5p Steel stings produced until recently by the Magdeburg firm conformed to the
standard specification Stg. 45.82 with a tensile strength of 45-55 kilos per
square millimeter and an average carbon content of .2.3 to .28 percent. In this
type of steel, manganese content did not surpass .8 per ant. (20 November 1946)
monthly quantities of steel castings to the Krupp- usonweerke, Magdeburg, was no
longer connected with the latter firm's require nts of steel for the manufacture
of cent factory installations has now been substantiated by the fact that
ScMtfr ard Budenberg have definitely been instructed to supply 150 t. ; of steool
castings per month in the shape of machine-gun and artillery mountings and armor
plating. The requirements for August 1946 were f'aa11y met. Thee deliveries of
steel castings for armaments are still camouflaged an supplies for the cement
factory installation production program. (4 October 1946)
Were it had been previously ordered that 40of the total monthly output of
steel castings was to be released for civilian use and for fulfillment of
reparations orders for armatures, this order has been ignored in recent months
to enable fulfillment of special orders such as that mentioned in para. 2 above.

The firm SoMffer and Budenberg, gdeburg.Bue' u, is making torpedo propulsion
units for the Soviets. Pour such units have been sent by the factory to Halle for
the "booty collection's of S in that town, which collection is in charge of a
Soviet officer named Lieutenant Nikolayev. (18 October 1946)
