21. Agents of the Russian Fr‘ntaufklaerungstruppon were equipped with a
A N/T set of the typo "Sever n . The set caw in ono part, had a power of 3 to
4 watts, was self-excited and was powered by dry betteries. It was a good
set of particularly robust mnstruction. Its dimensions were such that it
could easily be hidden, without its batteries, in an ordinary briefcase.
22. All agents wero amply provided with spare tubes and spare parts.
23. Agents of the Funkspielo uBurgenlandu and "Rote bauer n (sent over
Mourmansk to England, and dropped by a RAF-plane) were equipped with British
fliers' clothinewithout labels), 'libber para4hAmta,.oUffs and gloves.
Characteristically those two terms jumped with cancnflaged parachutes, while
the NKUD agents dropped from Russian planes used parachutes of rather poor
quality white silk. The Komint,xn-team was tho worst equipped; they were
not even in possession of cover-ails and KERSCHE had to borrow a training
suit from his teammate SOME, fcr the jump.

24. The agents, who jumped in civilian clothes, had cut the Russian or
shBriti labels out of their suits and h.Gernan or Austrian labels sown
in the lining, (rather Clumsily). The trmde-mark was scratched off the
Russian soap and tho Russian labels on tho botteries were net cut away but
a blank piece of paper had been ,,alind over then, which i mveli ately attention
of any alert police official.
25. The signal plan, carried by the agent, was generally in the form of a
micro-film of the size of half a postage stamp. It was always sawn some-
where in tho agent s s clothes. This was a more convenient way of carrying
it than the signal plan of the Allied agents, which was of the size of a
crystal and (Rite conspicuous. The Russian agent could easily destroy his
signal plan, after capture. This was dcne by the IVT agent of the Funkspiel
uRoter Hoarder", who after his capture took the signal plan out of his neck-
tie and threw it in a latrine under the ayes of two gendarmes.
26. NKVD agents carried large ant wits of k(up to Rmk 20.u00), and
always a certain amount of U.S. paper dollars(betwean WO and 500). Peculiar-
ly enough, many of the German banknotes bore bloodstains, as they had been .
taken from Garman wounded cr dead. This gave a clue to the capture of the
agent aGE(11..101, who had given a sun of money to his father for safekeeping;
this led consequently to his awn arrest. The agents of the Eonintern team
wore tho worst equipped again as they only carried a few thousand Rmk. and a.
only 200 U.S. Dollars.
27. The NKVD agents had with them a certain amount of concentrated food
for eight days, generally of British origin. Quite a nunber of agents were
found in possession of e vnggerated quantities of falsified Reise-Lebensmit-
karten. For example the agent KAMM, was found in possession of 180 Egrs
of meat coupons, butter coupons for 120 Kgrs, and bread coupons for over
200 Kgrs. Later on, the NKVD did not give its agents any coupons anymore •
but gave thou more money, to allow than tc buy their food on the black market..
Apart from this, most Agents carried WAlle medicines (stimulants - for example,.
German-made Pervitin, some anti-pyretics, etc.).
28. Agents of the Russian Front-Aufklaerungstruppen were equipped with
food for so many weeks as they thought that they would have to live in the
country before being joined by their own troops. n artiellbrotn and pork-.
fat wore their staple foods.
