This Central Intelligence Agency information report, declassified under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act, forwards copies of British interrogation reports from about December 1949. The main report covers a defector from the East German Volkspolizei school at Prenzlau and describes its strength, weapons, artillery training, staff and political character, with captured training documents attached. Another report describes the Sachsenhausen camp under Russian administration, including its guards, food, housing, medical care and death rate. The text contains no UFO material.
