It has to be noticed though, that for practical reasons I did copy only the relevant pages. Leaving out non essential details.

Another important remark. After June or early July the Russian took possession of what later became known as DDR. It might well have been, that shorly after they occupied the Merseburg area, that they did start with the dismanteling of the Schkopau plant as to transport it as a trophy of war to Russia.

Particularly the Americans used the opportunity to lay their hands on as much as gear as possible before the Russians could do so. Similarly was the situation at the Leuna Works.
