1. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. 1984 i n W G , as seen by Ground Division, appeared t o be a period of consolidation following tk massive oqanizational anc proceaural changes which occurred in 1983. The phased trainirq systm has been to ta l ly lmplementcd tnroughout G S k G and apparently is now the accepted method o f assim- i l a ting troop replacements, Evidence, especially f rm WDW, conzinLe3 t o confirm te undermanning i n GSFG m o a t units, but tk issue 3f manning in combat s u a o r t and combat service support units rewains unresolved.

Equipment upgraaes continucd apace during 1984. GSFG Expanded its program t o increase the nunber c f guns i n artillery battalions a t oivisfon and army level from 18 t o 24, continued tne conversion to SS-21 frm FROG-7 within maneuver divis ions and supported tk ckploymnt of SS-12 SCALEBOAITI into the forward area. The T-80 tank w c m f u l l y cpsrational I n the 9 TD and li GTD o f 1 GTA, ana w a s saen repeatedly in the 27 M 0 / 8 GA area. ( F u r t k r details on tank dcvclopments i n GSFG during the past year are discussed i n para 2 below. E

Frm a readiness point o f view, perhaps the most signlfizant change within GSFG i n L984 Has the l acK of participation i n harvest support. U X M observed nothing t o suggest t ha t GSFC supported the harvest i n the Sunner - Fall o f 1984. No camps were forred nor vcbicles and persomel shipped t o the S o v i e t Ur i im . it renails to be seen whether GSFG has shed this burden once and for a l l , but for a t least i984 the Swiet Army €n E a s t Germany has eliminated one of its major t ra ining distract ions.

The East German Army, although obviousLy lagging behind GSFG, continued to upgrade its equipnent as 'well. During 1984 SS-21, 3 - 8 , EW M-1981 (BMP-2) acid THIN EAR were all seen with East Germsn units for the first time. In addition, two probable reserve d f v i - sions subordinate to Y and associated with equiprficnt and ammi- t im storaw facilities appear t o have been fomaliy established (see paragraphs 91 & k following).

2. TANK DEVELOPKNTS I N GSFG. 1984 was a very dynamic period fer tank develop-nents witrin GSFG, and Missim coverage o f the tank probiem reflectec t h i s dynamism. The high po in t o f Mission coverage was achieved at the very outset when on the early morning o f i January 1984 USMLM obtained exterllor and interior photography of the T-64fl which confimed that it fires a missile and has a laser range- finder.

4

On 22 Feorcrary 1984, almost a full year after the initial sightins o f the T-80 Pn Halle, USMLM observea and 2hotographed the first par t ia l ly uptarfed 7-80, The photography helped substantiate t h a t th is tank has a turbine e3gine and more fully revealed details o f the suspensisi system, but the turret and f i re control systm remaiwd hidden. YEN frm the transporter were froa the 23 W 9 1D w R k k established that T-80 had been deplayed with units in tne 1 GTA.

5

Obscrvations by the NAVREP during Warsaw Pact Exercise YUG 84 corroDoratcd informstion previously acquired by SANDrjUNE regarding t i i t ! d i s t r i x k i o n o f the T-646. He follwed the move of 16 GTR/2L37 WU during t h e exerclse. Each tank battalion with in tne regiment h a t w c i companies o t T-64A ar,d o m ccmpany o t T-646, exactly what had been reffectec i n SANCDUNE documents.

lhrcuahmt t h e sunmsr o f 1954 T-6@ appeared nore frequently in units fo rmer ly equipped only with the T-64A. Among the u n i t s t o receive the T-648 i n this period was t h e 35 MRD garrisoned i n Dallgow-Ooeberitz. UMLM photography o f these tanks showed that a3ditiorral armor had tern placed on the side and top o f the turret, possibly t o protect against tcp-attack weapons.

6

In Sestember BRIXMlS observed over 100 1-80 moving i n t o the Letzlinger Heide Training Area M rail f la t s . This is the s i n g l t ! greGtest iiclmuer of T-SO seen t o date. Side numbers of associated vehicles were f rcm two tank regiments o f 9 TO, thus indicating a complete convcrsion to 7-80 i n these u n i t s .

On 7 Novanher 1984 tbe NAVREP conducted a7 exhaustive recon- naissawe o f tne &llgon-&eberi t z traiving area. he photographed a number o f tan< train.iEg bmrris. Among them Rere two boards rtescribing training norm for tank crew members. The boards indi- cate that the T-80 a m T-643 f ire a missile ana the T-8G docs not have a diesel engine. They also mention possible variants fox tne T-64B ana T-80. T h i s is the first informatfon from any source regarding T-SO or '-64 variants.

As 1984’ drew t o a close the Missions had made corsiderable progress i n resolving the technical arid order o f battlc questions associated w i t h neb tank deployments i n GSFti. T?e T-MA, deployed i n 2 GTA, 3 SA and 20 GA, had been alncst fully exploftec. The missile firing J-64B ccrtinued t o be deployed or the basis 3 f one conpany per tarik battalion in u n i t s holding T-GLA, and the majority o f tech inter questions hao 3een snswered. T-80 was Deing iqtru- OUCEU into 1 GTA 2nd 8 GTA, and although a complete oattalion complenent had slot been mserved they appearea t o he replacing the T-62 3n a one for one basis.

Despite the wealth o f information the Missions hso accumulatec, w3 still had n o t seen an untarpcd T-82. In l a te December t h i s shortcomiig was rectified wien USMLM acquired limited phutugraphy o f the rear o f a T-80 as it moved a t n igh t from the r a i l s id ing & Gross AmmensleSen i n t o the Letzl l r -ger Heidcl PRR.

8

Five cays l a t c r FMLM as a result o f a very patient stake-aut o f 9 tactics1 roc;te obtained the f i rs t d a y l i g h t ph3tGgraphy o f the elusive T-80 as it mweo north from the Koenigshrueck PRA. Sioe rwmbecs iderrtifieo the T-83 as coming f r a r the 40 Z T W l L GTU. This Maas the first solid assxiat ion cf T-80 w i th 11 GTD.

9

After Some eighteen months o f ant ic ipat ion, we were strum by tne similarity ketween the T-80 and T-64B. The photogrphy sdpporteo a l l the informatior previously acquired by other means, T-80 clearly represents an evolut ionary riot rwolutimary design am has much i n commm with earlier Soviet tanks, particularly the T-64B.

Aithough the Missions enjoyed a very successful year in 19W vis-a-vis the Lank, there are obviously many more questions wnich need t o be addressed, and consiaerably more photographic coverap o f the T-50 is needed. Perhaps most disconcerting from ou: poin t c f vieri, however, is the fac t that the untarpeo T-80 swn moving into tne LHTA in December were with vehicles from t h e 10 GTD/ 3 SA. What happened t o the rieat deployment pat tern of T 6 4 A and B in the north and T-80 i n the south? We hope ta shed some l i s h t on th is and other issws in the coming year.

3. OTHER SIGNIFICANT O E R V A T I 3 N S :

a. 07-15 Jan. The 47 GTD/3 SA conducted a major river crossing exercise a t the northern Elbe cressiag sites near Sandau (UUC153) supported by other 3 SA elements. The 47 tk ’ s three tank regiments, the MRR m d Arty Regimert participted. 3 SA support included the Fmton Bridge Regiment, Signal aegiment, and Arty Hegi- merit. This was t h e l a s t LJSY M cuverage a f a fJll-scalc river crossing on the nothem i l b e pr ior t o tk i i p o s i t i o n of the n w PW in May which closed o f f t h i s area.

B. A I R COLLECTION AC 1 1 V 1 TIES

NOTE: A l l succeeulng subparagraphs classified MlWlOtNTlAL.

1. 3eneral: S o V k t ana East German Air forces continued a steady snd consistent uwraoe of equipment and facil it ies throughout 1984.

a. Aircraft and Air Dperations:

a) Helicopters: The number of HTND E MM3 reglmcnts in GSFG equipped witn the 23m cannm increased frm cne t o three. By year's and HlNO E bUl equippea r e g i m t s were located a t Mnlwinkel, Parchim and Stenaal Akrfielcs. At least tnree boraer sites (Grevesmuhlen, Qucdlinburg, anc kachstedt) also have one HIND E m30 (25m cannon 3 rejularly deplQyed. Another s 1 p i ficant developanent was the first Mission sighting in GSFG o f tne actual TR J m e r on a HIP H assigned t o Oranienburg Soviet Airfield. HIP K, originally stationed only a t Allstedt Airfielc, were fu r tb r introduced t o Oremen-Hellerau. These upgraoes signify 8 consiocrable upgraae for CSFG in both helicopter firepower and Em capabil i ty.

b) f i x e d wing: Tbere was a reductim i n total sortlcs observed, but acta; training appeared t o be mre intense. A re-roling o f Altenburg a i rc raf t was h i tlated as VISHBED aircraft were phasea out an0 replaced by FLQ&C;EH C/D and a new FLOGGER variant temed the D/J MCD. Furtkr upgrades occurred with thE: assignment o f yet another FLOGCIER variant, the FLOGGER K, a t Rltes Lager and Koetbn AirTlelas. TW As-12 Tactical Anti-Hadiatim Missile ( T M ) was ooserved only twice during the year, but the bcst photography of the missile to date was obtained. Employmnt o f Tactical Air-to-Surface Missiles (Tdyl05) also flgured praninently . A new version o f the AS-14 TASM, possibly W-guided, wzs photo- graphed on both FL-R J ana FITTER H while F E W R C was observed for the first time firing a TASM, the AS-?. Additional launches o f AS-?, As-LO, ana AS-14 TASMs provided significant data for analysis.

17

2) East German:

a) Helicopters: HIND D a t Basepohl and Cottbus Airfields were remnfigured w i t h the I R Jammer mmnt and chaff/ f lsre dispenser. Prior t o thcse m d f i c a t i o n s , this equ imnt had been employed o n l y with GSFG forces. A HIP Corrnrand and Control variant was also int roduced a t Bascpohl ana CotttKIs. This is the first Cz helicopter w i t n the EGAF.

b) F ixed Wing: TIE constructim o f Laage Airfield has been mnitored M a reguisr basis. The base I s consiacrod q ~ n - tionally ready. Units and aircrart which w i l l occupy the base should LE ident i f i ed early i n 1585. No other signif icant cnanges in the tGAF were observed.

b. Electronics/WS:

1) Soviet: Technical-quality photography of a modified LONG TRACK C a t kittenberg 3-4 Site revealeu &sic$ siiailarities between its EMI BUX and that of the DOG TAIL raoar. This enhanced LONG TRACK possioly has a func t ion and purpose similar tc; DOG TAJI 's. The Soviets a u p n t e d Wealinburg EW Site with an as yet unidentifieo radar or antenna and also introduced a possible U / I raoac a t Hillersleben EW Site. Tne latter raaar appears similar t o SQUARE PAlR i n design. Completion o f a three-system chain e f PRP-3 RAMOW sites i r i the western half of t k GDR was also zonfirmed. This main should afford f u l l RAMONA coverage o f the intcr-Gemm border.

2) East German: Photography o f a wployed RP-4G preci- siwl appmach raaar for zirilian an3 milftary a i r traffic was obtained at Schomefeld Airfield. Excellent video coverage o f BACK TRAP raoar was obtained a t Rovershagen Sub Air Defense Slte, t o include two BACK TRAP rotat ing in sync. Construction has steaoliy aovanced a t both Rxtock/Gubkow ana Berlin/Kraatz S A 4 Sites . We erection of a large environmental dome in the fire control arm o f tne Gubk3w site m y signal preparations f o r receipt o f SgM€ PAIR.

c. Miscellaneous:

1) Soviet: u / I construction near Mersekury Airfield was discovered. Hangarette style bunkers have been installed an0 nay i7dicatu an air defense funztion.

2) East l;ernran: W I constructlm sites were discovered ana manitorec a t Schuenermark, Fehrbellin, and Zachow. The sites have large bunker complexes ant: are considered t o he a i r defense- related.

2. Significant Achievements:

a. On 13 Jmuary, a nevlly de2loyed RP-4G precision approach radar WES confirrnea at Schoenefeld EG C i v i l i a n Airf felcl.

b. On 16 January, t h e first Parchim HIND E MUD with 23m canr,m were observe0 a t Retzow Soviet Range. This was the secontl Soviet regiment in GSFG t o upgraae t o t i e dual 23rrm cannon.

c. On 17 January, technical-quality photography o f a modi- fied LONG TRACK C radar Mas obtainec at h i t t enbe rg Soviet SA-4 Site,

d. On 19 January, tecqnical-quality photography o f the AS-12 TARM was obtaiced durinG an extensive FLOGGER lancing program

20

e. On 27 January, a Parchim HIRD E was phgtograrhed carrying a U/I roc+& pod. The pod apgears similar t o the UB-32x57mm rowet poC frequently carried by 4IND and HIP heli- copters. This new pori may inoicete ari improved rocket capabili ty.

f. On 3 February, a Parchim HIND E was pnotographed carrying stackea A T 4 SPIRAL ATCm mounts on its outer universal pylons. This s ight ing confirms HIND E's capability t o carry a mini- mum af 20 SPIRAL missiles a m inoicates a formidable anti-amor capability.

9. On 3 February, the Dest plotography t o date o f the dorsal scoop on Neuruppin FITTER K was obtained at Retzcw Range.

h, FLOGGER 3 photography on 4 and 5 February confirmed the re-raling o f Altenhury's Hir-to-air FISHED t o the gruurid attack FLOGGER airframe. Subsequent introduction o f FLOGGtR U/J MOD i n Jwe-July suggests the FLOGGER 3 WcrC used as trainers I n antici- patior: of the new D/J KcCts arr ival .

i, The first observation o f a modif ieo FLOGGER G, now dosignatecr FLOGGE3 ?(, cas obtained a t Altes Lager Soviet Airfielc on 13 h x h . It is possible t ha t t7fs aircraft is being confictrred far a mini-AWACS role with improved intercepticn capabili ty a t lower a l t i tudes , Modificatfons inc lude new diekc t r ic patches, new wing roots , anc! new radomes. The electronic and st"uLura1 changes should provide imreascd corka t efficiency.

j. Cn 20 April, a modified AS-14 TASM was observed on a Mirow FLOGG-R J. The modifications t o the nose of the missile suggest a possible TV yuiaarlce system.

2k

k. On 25 April , the first sighting o f an A S 4 4 TASM on FITTER H was made a t Retzow Swiet Range. This appears t o be the Same AS-14 variant observed on 20 Apri l . Tne FITTEF H was from TempLiri Soviet Rirfiela. This signting confirms FITTER H’s a b i l i t y t o carry the A S 4 4 TASM, as we13 as confirming the w e a p ” presence a t Templin.

1. A TAI I. kINc C netif LabrrrS was discovered by MLM anc The new TALL KING is s i tua tza irside

These radars have usua l ly hem associated with reportea in I K 1 215 1013 84. the Altengzabow PRA. Egrly Warning or SA-5 sites.

n. On 22 M y , the entire AOB o9 thc FLOGGER G/K regiment assigned t e A l t e s Lager Scviet Airfield was obtained. Twelve ILDGGER K and 24 FLOGGER G were noted. Tnis confirms that ole o f tne rcqimmt's three squadrons has been upgraded t o FICGGER Y.

On 5 Zune, the f i rs t photography of an EGAF HIP Command and Coqtrol Variant was obtained a t Basepohl EG Airfield. The aircraft appears t o be a HIP G. Thls upgrade suggests the East Germans are forming Soviet-styled d i v i s i c n support squadrons. rollowing t h i s l n i t i a l observazion the H I 3 variant was also observcd a t Cettbgs EG Airfield.

p. 9n 6 June, BRlXMIS noted construction c f an uniceitified Cast German site near Fehrbe l l in . On 17 July similar East German construction was noted by FMLM near the vil lage o f Schoenermark, approximately 5km from Eerlin/Kreatz EG 93-5 Slte. Our I R 1 215 0096 54 gave the best phozographic coverage to date of both sites. The insxallations are l i k e l y air-defense related.

q. On 12 June, a Heuruppin FITTER K carried ODD POD during act ivi ty a t Belgern Soviet Range. This was the first t i n e FITTER K had been seen with t h e tC1.l pod. Prior t o t h i s s ight ing the pod had been obsezved 071y on All.stedt FITTER H. FITTER K's baztlcfield survivability should irpprove with th is newly confirnec capabili ty.

1. PERWENT FiESTRlCTEO AREAS (PRA) . On 16 Hay 1984, GSFG anmunceo 'Snincr" mdifications t o the PHA presently i? e f f e c t in tne ClOR. T h e n m PRA map cbvinusly w a s the result o f careful study and planning and an Intimate knowledge o f the geography o f the EOFF as It affects the Missions. There is no remarkable increase in t o t a l mea denied t o the Missions; twwever, boundaries have been redrawn anc exteqded in sum a fashion as to canalize and impede travel and t o aeny or restrrct ticcess t o a very large nclmber of targets. In most cases PHA bomdaries have been delineated by roads w i t h the specification thaz such roads must be consicered part o f the restricted area. Transit throughout East 6ennay, therefore, has been restricted considerably. Actobahns rmst be useo t o travel any distance or cross a mjor river, particularly the Elm, but stopping on Autobahns that transit PRAs is n o w prohibited. Intel- ligence collection efforts have also been s i g n i f i c a n t l y hindered. Analysis bas shon'n that , of sune 185 formerly accessible SADvl sites, radar sites , airficlds I ana air-to-grouna gunnery ranges, approxl- matelf 28% were rendered inaccessible, and 39% were mcrerately to severely degraded for observaticn ~y the new PRAs. Thus 60 t o 7cwI o f a i r targets in the GDR were affected. Large nuRlbers o f the mort! important grourwi installations and t k i r associatea W D W M targets, training areas, mu the major Soviet river crassiw sites on the Elbe are nwr i n PRA. Following tk change cn ly twc GSFG maneuver divisfons are nor completely accessible t o the Missions. It is much more d i f f i c u l t to cover movement by botn trackeG and wrseeled vehicles since many major tactical routes are included in the new R I A , tk gaps between PRA such as the Altergrabow aid Letzlinger M i l e have been closed, and traditicnal military convoy rocrtes are either f n or 9or"hr PRA. rlhih tk PRA change has opned a few new targets t o USlbK, the overall ef fec t o f the change has been nothing s h x t o f catastrophic. Only through w1A reduction can we twpe t o recoup even a part o f what has been lost anb i n fact by Decefrber 1984 there were hints tnat GSFC would be issuing a new PR4 map witn rcducca restricted areas.

1. General. In ca r ry ing wt USP1LH's two missions i n the GOR, accredited personnel repeatedly come i n t o cmtact with Soviet and East" German military p e r s m d and t k c i v i l i a n population. The nature o f certain o f these cmtacts is such that reporting t o himr headquarters and mention in the U n i t History is appropriate. These contacts are divided i n to t w o catewries:

a. DETENTION. Tour's freedom o f wvement is physically restricted. Accreditation d Q C W n t S are surrendered with or witht

&he preparation by the Soviets o f an off ic ia l protocol (Akt). Gircunstances surrounding a aetention may be such that it Is also reported as an incioent .

b. XNCIENT.

1) Serious Incident. A relatively grave occurrence whose resolution may require action at a higher level than Chief USWW CPieP SEW. Action taken Frequently includes an exchange o f letters a t Chief o f Staff or nigher level.

2) Minor Incident. Occurrence whose resolution can he accomplished a t the Chief of #issim/Chief %RB level or w h i & requires no aoditimal action,

2. DETENTIONS. Nine UWLM tours were detained i n 1984:

a. Sandau (Wu00553, 071M7A Jan 84.

Approximately 3-4 k i lmters f u r t l w down the road, th tour cam t o a four-way road junction. Soviet columns occupied the three rmaininj approaches t o the intersection, so the tour officer decided to reverse course. This took the tour past tk work crews a y i n . A t 12140% Jan 84, as they passed om of the work crews, members o f the crew made threatening gestures a t the twr venicle w i t h their shovels. As the tour passed R g o y o f triese soldiers at a mderate s p e c (15-20 km/h), a Senior Lieutenant sudcenly stepped from the side o f the road and swung a long-han3led shovel thrwgh the windshield o f the twr vehicle. The vision o f the tour crew w a s severely impaired a m the ariver immediately braked t o avoid h i t t i n g any o f the other soldiers staridiny on eitner s h e of tk mad. As the tour vehicle slowed, the troups surrcunded the vehicle. The tour officer decided tha t furtkr ePfnrts to evam would only endangar the soldiers standing, rjn both sides o f tk road and oroered the oriver to stop the vehicle. Personnel conducting the deterition were three ofricers ami ten soldiers. Tm tour officer imediateiy challenged the Senior Liedtenant bringing t o hfs atten- t h n thc exfstence o f an ayreement between both governments which gave tk tour crew the right t o be there. TIE Senior Lieutenant repliec that there was a military operation I n progress in tk area a m #& the tour was not allowed t o be thera. The tour officer stated that if the Soviet government d i d not want missim membcrs in tk area, they woulu t w z imposed a Temporary Restricted Area (TRA) i n accordance with normal practice. The Senior Liectenant becalae v h i n l y nervous a t that p3ir,C. Within 30 minutes OF the b i t l a 1 confrnntatim, a Soviet Captain arrived on the scene. He asked tb twr crew if they were a l l right; tnen h~ appcsred t o offer s m e serious critlcism t o the Senior Lieutenant who had swung the shovel. Following the detention, seveml tanks approacned the area. To preclude tk tour crew's mserving them, tk soldiers removed the tarp from a Z1L-131 am covered the tour vehicle with it for 2 1/2 hours. A t approximately 1700A, the Rathenow K m n d a n t arrived and, after verification of credentials by both sides, requested tne tour crew to follow him t c Havelberg, where an Akc woulo be prepared. m7ce In Havelberg, t h e Soviet Kmandant enterea a VOPO statLon t o prepare the Akt, while tk tour crew remained wtsfcc. Approxirrately 15 minutes later, he returned and stated tnat he had preparea the Akt (but d i d r o t offer t o show it t o

He then asked the twr officer whether he rrouia care to s i p the A k t . We3 the tour officer d e c l i n e d , the Soviet X m r l d a n t lauched and returned the tour crew's credentials. TIE actions o f tk Soviet Kommandant were cordial thrwgnout. The tour was released a t 121815A Jan 84 and arrived a t the Glienicke Bridge a t 122225A. T k twr was oelayed a t the bridge for 20 minutes. Guratim of detention: d hours , 10 minutes.

Ihe Soviets s c m d t o be particularly alert For Mission vehicles. As the tour was attempting t o evade a Suviet road block, the vehicle became mired and a detention ensued. The initial reaction of the Soviet troops was hostile. Tney made a hslf-hearted e f f o r t t o efiter the vehicle and also managed to remove the valve cores Prom all five t i r e s arid rtvnuve the swre Lire. The Fiathenow K m n d a n t arrived and requestee that the tour foflow him t o Havelberg. The tour officer pointed out tkt there was m air i n the tirw, and the Kmmacdant ordered the Saviets t o fill them. Only ow valve core was rctwied. Tnc Akt was preparca in Havclbcrg, and thc tour officer refused ta sign it. The tour was released a t 14194OA, returned to tk Mission House in Potsdam to change the tires, and zontlnued I t s mission. DUrdkfCIn of detention: 4 hwrs, 55 minutes.

e. Karl-MarxStadt (US55351, 151315A Hay 84. A USMM taus was transiting Karl-Wx-Staot, enmute to Potsdam. As the tour vehicle slowed t o maKe a right turn from Route 174 tDward the Dres&n Autobahn, tnree urmarKed vehicles (presumably MfS) boxed i n tne totr venicle at 1315A hours. Quick reaction o f the TQur NM3 averted calkision with tne lead vehicle, which had dan~rwusly swerved into the tour's path. Slight contact was ma&, h w v e r , by the MfS cars when they tiGhtenea tk b a x at front and rear. H E persmel tried the rear and driver's door in a pro-forma attcmpt t o gain entry. Tne Volkspolizei arrived at 133W hours, a EM-53 arrived a t 1350A nwrs, a i d the Karl-MarxStadt Komnoant and a Captain arrived a t 1502A hours.

The tour followed #e K m n d a n t t o his o f f i c e at 152CA hours; an A M charging tne tour with vialation of 4 restricted area was then prepared.

The tour was released a t 160OA hours, and returned imnediately t o Ber l in . Duration o f actention: 2 hcurs, 45 miwtes.

f. Gross Santersleben (PC67851, D219ooA J u l 84.

The tour officer was offered a copy o f the Akt - if he signed it. The Soviets assisted in turning the tour vehicle onto its wheels and allowed the tour t o depart mescorted.

The tour w a s extensively photographed by WA personnel and a Soviet photog- rapher, While the tour vehicle w a s covered with blankets, the rear license plate and the passengerside mirror were removed. Other actiwrs by all concerned were cordial and correct. An A k t , accusing the tour o f espionage activities in the proximity o f military "objects", was prepared and presented for signature. The twr officer denied the allegations and refused t o sign the Akt. The tour crew was able finally tu restart the vehicle after the rela- t i v e l y lengthy detention, suggesting that the engine had simply overheated ( i t was a very hot day). TIE tour was escorted t o the Helmstedt Autobahn. a t the Zesar Intertank (UT1793) and released a t 1955A hours. Ouration o f detention: 5 hours, 15 minutes.

T k tour's passes were handed over at that time, and were immediately returned t o the tour officer. The Soviet Mjor then said he had t a go with the VOpOs t o the VoeO Headquarters. A t 1650A hours, he returned with two other Soviet Majors and stated that one o f the tour's guest passes only permitted travel t o Potsdam. The point was.argued and the tour w a s presented with an Akt, which accused a guest mmber o f the tour o f having traveled t o Wernigerode without Soviet permission. The tour officer refused t o sigm the bkt. Photos o f the tour vehicle, as well as the tour partlcipants, were taken throughout the detention.

W i l e exploring a t r a i l through heavy underbrush near the si te , tne tour of f lcer left the vehicle to reconnoiter on foot the area over a slight rise. Within m n t s after the tour officer left the vehicle, three soldiers merged from the brush and punctured three o f the vehicle's tires; one of the three pursued the t w r officer am calleo out "Kom" mal Mer!"

c. Laage East German Airfield CUV2157861, 101530A Oct 84. An off-auty East German officer atteq&m t o cketain a USMW tour as the t o a transited Route 103 near Laage East (;erman Airfield. A marmn Wartburg passed the tour in the opposite direction, rrrade a U-turn and attmpted t o overtake tb tour venicle am force it i n to a d i t c h on the right-had side of t l w road. In an attempt t o avoid an accioent, tne tour vehicle braked hard, but the Wartwrg swerved i n t o the tour vehicle's path, banging its rignt-rear fender into tk tmr vehicle's left-front bumper. T b blartburg then skidded, went into the ditch and came t o a stop. T h e lrislrtburg was immobilized, but t h e arlver appeared unhurt. Therefore, the tolrr continued t o k r l i n , crossing the Glienicke Briage without i n e i & n t a t 1845A hours. 4

d. U W M Potsdanr House, 221845A Oct 84.

(C> GENERAL.

Relatiws with StKd specifically and GsFG i n general were scmewhat tuxhlen’, during 1984. The early part o f the year was marred by a l l t o o present hastile and dangerous Last I;ermn/Soviet reaction to Mission presence. This culminatco in tk rming OR a French tour i n the Hall: area which causEd the first f a t a l i t y I n TriMisslon history. Tne Halle incident apparently convinced G F G t o issue cautimary directLves zejarding t reatmnt o f tne Missions s h e the rest o f tne year saw a noticeaole decline in these provocarive practices. The new E F C PRA mp In May yenerated consicerable correspondence, conversaticn, and rec Lpracal USWEIR imposed restrlctlons whJcn also plt a strain w1 the relationshio. And fir laliy, t h e threatened closure o f the Glienicke Bridge in November resulzed i n 8 CINCUSAREUR protest letter dong with several tmse meetings with SERB which tended to cast a shadow on the end of tk year. Since, Mever, mf relationship with tne SGvlets always features contrasts ar,d corlkadictions, 1984 also saw the first positive sisns o f a CIK-t3-CIK meting and a willingness on the part o f SERB t o undertake a conslcwable renovation project at th?

8. (U) RELATIONS WITH GFG/S€RB ( A l l paragraphs WLASSIFIED unless otherwise indicated):

Meetings with Saviet Autkrities: In 1384, 17 W / S € R E meetings todr place. A total o f 11 items of USdrfginated nm-routim correspondence were passed t o SERB. Five pieces of Suviet- originated non-routine correspondence were received by U%M.

On 05 Jan, Chief USMLM met with CSERB at the latter's office in Potsdam t o deliver a non-paper protesting the 2 Dec 83 Soviet violation o f FRG airspace near Wehlhausen. Subsequent t o transla- t ion, Cot Rubanov indicated that delivery would be accomplished tu competent authorities. In response t o gentle needling by Chief USHLM about the dangers involved, Rubanov stated that G F G was i n fac t aware o f the cwequences o f border overflights which accounted Por the strict measures taken by GSFG to prevent their occurrence.

. He further oplned t ha t investigation w w l d prove the latest Allied assertion to be as baseless as similar protests delfvered i n the recent past by Chief USI4.M.

1,

2, an 1617OOA Jan, Chief W met with COL Malygin, Deputy Chief SERB, a t the latter's off ice i n Potsdam. Topics incluckd a Us C'INC-trs-CINc proposal the recent rash o f detentions, and particu- larly the 12 Jan detention i n the course 07 which a Soviet liew tenant had smashed the whdshield of the tour vehicle with a shovel (See also Detentions and Incidents, page 50). Mlygfn denied that an o f f i c e r had wielded the shovel and rather ingenuwsly suggested that the damage resulted during a shovel-toting Soviet soldier's attempt t o escape frm the path o f the U94-M mrushing tour vehicle. Arter additional prodding f r o m the Chief o f Mission, Ftalygln prmised t o bring the matter t o h i s Headquarter's attention.

3. On 2116OOA Mar, Chief USMLM, a t h is reqwst, net with ca bbanov a t tk SERB Potsdam Office. Chief USMCH presented as the first item a f business the following note vcrbale:

"The %lloufng incidents are brought t o the attention o f the Soviet External Relations Branch:

A. Belgem area, approximately 1700 hours, 13 Mar 84. A U S U vehicle with M A J mhn, MdJ Black and TSgt k w e y was chased throu$ the streets o f B e l p r n by a Soviet ZIL-130 truck. As the M L M vehicle was backing up i n the congested town this same Soviet truck deliberately rammed i n t o the bmt o f the U W vehicle causing the damages shown in the enclosed photo.

B. Zechow area, approximately 1100 N r s , Soviet soldiers surmised a usML14 vehicle with

15 Mar 84. F m Wise and 9%

Blake. Three o f the f w r tires on the vehicle were slashed by the Soviet soldiers and threatening moves t o include striking the wind- shield with a knapsa& were made toward the WIW vehicle and personnel. This was a very dangerws encounter and only the mol- headedness of the tour prevented mre serious consequences. The tour vehicle was t o t a l l y disabled and three new tires had k brought in from West Rerlin.

Such provocative contacts Initiated by the Soviet military are not n e w and seem t o be a part o f deliberate policy on the part o f [;SF6 t o deal more harshly with the Allied Military Missions i n tk discharge of their legal responsibilities. These incidents are clearly in contravention of the Huebner-klinin Agreement and are very aangeraus t o a l l persons involved - US and Soviet, Yw will note that the Soviet Military Liaison Missfan i n FrankTurt I s never treated i n t h i s crude and illegal fashion. I ask that ywr report these matters to CINCGSFG and provide assurance t h a t they will not be repeated."

Rubanov indicated that the Belgern inc ident had been reported t o the Ghief o f Staff and t o the CIWC and that disciplinary action had h e n taken against the driver of the ZIL-140. He professed t o have no information concerning the Zechow Incident and promissed t o look i n t o the matter, after wandering aloud why USHM had n o t reported it at the tlme t o the responsible Kmandatura. Interestingly, he did not employ the usual SEW retort that U S U brought such incidents upon themselves by their provocative and illegal activities.

Chief U S K M then dealt with a 16 Har SERB let ter reporting the aggressive actions o f US troops directed against a Soviet flag tour i n the Gruenewald on 14 Mar. Chief USMLWs reply was to the e f fec t that a11 matters in Berlin were outside U W ' s jur isdict ion, but that, in view of SERB'S concern, he had referred the matter t o USCOB, and a response could be expected through normal charnels.

4. On 23 Apr, SERB delivered a response lo USAREUR Chief OP Staff's letter of 12 Apr protesting the deliberate ramming o f toerr vehicles. Text o f the response follows:

"Dear General,

This is t o admowledge receipt of your letter ef 12 Apr 1984 concerning the alleged cases o f ' a praneditated ramming by Soviet military vehicles o f vehicles o f the American Military Liaison Mission.

1 mnnot agree with you that the blame lies with the drivers o f the Soviet vehicles i n a l l o f the cases specified i n your letter,

for example, on B March 1983, W vehicle Mo. 27 squeezed i n t o a c o l m o f Saviet military vehicles and moved right up t o tk rear o f a KAMAZ military vehicle, thus being i n a blind spot for the driver o f The truck. Then, when the colum rmoed speed, the us#w vehicle crashed in to the Soviet vehicle. The driver o f the KAWz d i d not notice t h e collfsim and continued on.

On 16 DeceRlber 1983, m r s o? the W in vehicle No. 23 approaching 8 military colunn head-an pmtographed mil i tary equip- ment. I n an attempt by the USMLM personnel t o evade a detention, there was a collision between the U W M vehicle and a Soviet truck.

And f inal ly , m 13 Mrch 1984, USMA personnel Major Ellack Major Bohn and Technical Sergeant Qewey i n Vehicle No. 23 pen&=& 8 permanent restricted area and photographed Soviet military air- c r a f t conducting banbing training. %en Soviet military personnel atterpted t o detain the vehicle of your Mission, it entered an unrestricted area where i t was detained near the t o w of Belgem. In blocking the vehicle there w a s a collisim between the Soviet and American vehicles,

You contend that Soviet military personnel deliberately create dangeraus situations and use physical force on the crews o f tk UsMLp1. The facts indicate sometthing different. A tendency toward f r e v n t and serious violations by persmel. of ywr Mission o f the road safety regulations of tna EDR has recently b e c m noticeable. This creates danger to the health and l i v e s o f those nearby and to the Mission personwl themselves.

For example, on 2 February 1983, in Hiesenburg, the crew of vehicle No. 29, Major Eschrlch and Sergeant Poindexter, travelled at great speed i n conditions o f pmr v i s i b i l i t y , not observing traffic regulations, and were involved i n a vehicular accident. The U W vehicle skidaed i n t o a roadside ditch and rolled over.

I n m c h 1983 alone there were seven incidents involvim dangerous speeding by drivers ~r W M vehicles.

On 28 January 1984, persmnel ef your Mission, Captain Croxall and Sergeant Scharfner i n vehicle WO. 28, attempted a t great speed to pass a cargo vehicle and, after having broken traffic laws, crashed into a b e e .

Very. often drivers o f Mission vehicles do rot fulfill the demands of the representative of the Peoples’ police of the GDR. It is not difficult t o see from these t y p s of vlolat ims and auto accidents that it is lfmpossible t o f ind any signs o f the use of physical force. Horeover, there is nu Gasis t o maintain that there is an alleged increase in h o s t i l i t y toward members o f your Missim.

61

In corcClusion, I wmld like t o emphasize that the command element o f Group o f Soviet Forces Germany attaches great signifi- cance ta the act ivi ty of the Military Liaison Missions and, in accordance with the provisions of the Huehner-Mallnin Agreement, tams and will m t i n u c to take a l l necessary rneasures t o ensure noma1 activity of the personnel o f your Mission.

On 3 May, Chief USMLM sent a let ter t o SERB advising that the 2500 iiters o f gasollw prtivided on a rronthly basis t o USMLh w a s 500 liters less than tha t furnished the Soviet plisslm in Frankfurt and ssking t h a t USMLH's allocation be raiscd t o 3300 liters. T b letter further advised tha t , shwld this increase rot be possible, p a r i t y would be achieved though a reduction i n SMLM-F's allowance. (Letter was never answered aut U Y q M almost imnddiately started receiving the additional 500 liters per month).

7. On 16 Hay, ChieT U X M delivered the following letter o f protest t o COL Wtalygfn, Actfng Chief SERB:

"Dear Co lone 1 Malysi a ,

The pdrpose of th is letter is t o bring t o y w r a t t e n t h yet anctner crude, illegal and dangerous Interference by East German a u t n o r i t i e s in the authorized activities o f USMLM. On 1 5 May a t approximately 1115 hours, LTC Boyette and T S g t k w e y , travelling i n USFCM Car Nr 21, were transitkg Uarl-MElrx-Stadt, a city which as you well know Is clearly locateo I n a nonrestricted area. k h l l e observing tk rules 0% the road in RO proximity t o any military activity, tney were suddenly and witmu: warning forced o f f tke road and up against a metal railing Sy a white Wartburg OF Esst German registry. This same car then backed into the U X H vehicle while simuitaneously a red Wartaurg struck the vehicle from the rear. A t h i r d car, a white Lada, men pulled up along t h e driver's side o f car Nr, 21 completely b o x i q i n the U X H vehicle. T k occupants o f these three vehicles, obviodsly a3ents o f the Ministry for State Security, then jumped out o f their cars ana attempted t o force taeir way into the LISMLH vehicle. Failing h i s , they banged on the wrinchws and made thrzatening gestures t o LTC Hoyettte and TSgt kwey. Tkey next proceeded to take i n n w r a n l e photographs o f the venicle and its occupants. Af ter a whlle, the HfS vehicles were replaced by VDPO cars ano adaitlonal m i f a m e d policemen. Throughout t w detention, East German authcrlties were obnoxious and arrogant and even w e n t so far as t o erect 6 Mission Restriction Sign in close proximity t o the U%M vehicle.

Althoclgh tlw first Soviet vehlcle (03-97 RN, Military Kmandstura markings) apppeared on the scene a t 1150 hwrs, it was not lntil 13M hours that a Sov ie t officer T i n a l l y approached the vet-izle and iden- t i f i e d riimself as LTC A.W.

I strwlgly

protest such a crude violation e f mf status as guaranteed by t k mrehiw-Mlinin agreement. I also strcnjly protest the unwilling- ness o f HQ GSFG t o f u l P i l l its clearly stated obligat ion to providc for the security o f b X M .

Malygln had rio comment t o offer other than that the corres- pondence would be expeditiously forwardea t o H 1 W G .

Other matters discussed a t this time included tk Chief of Mission's dlsappoinzmmt a t the cavalier way i n wnich the new PRA map had tieeri delivered ana tne lack of warning (the map was actdally delivereo some 12 hours after its effect ive aate).

A t the W s t i l l e my reception i n Potsdem a few days later Chief USaYM discussed the matter with Colonels Malygin and Medved and w i t h ~ ~ r a l Serov. They noted that t h e i r own Mission i n Frankfurt w a s limited t o 14 accredited members as specified by "international agreements mnd standard diplmatic practice." Zhief Usp1LY replied to the effect that the Huebner-Mlinin Agremnt arla no o t k r docu- ment or smvcntion defimd th is @xc~usivcly bilateral re1 ationship.

9 . On 15 Jun, the foliowing Chief of Staff USAREUR le t ter of protest regarding the ww Soviet pw\ map was delivered t o SERB by Chief U S M U :

"Dear General Svkridov:

1 have stucied the revised Permanently Restricted Areas your headquarters impose0 on thz Alliec Military Liaism HIssions cflcc- tive 15 May 1984.

I rmtt! with extreme displeasure that the new restrictions vio- l a t e the spirit o f the Huebner-Mlinin Agreement which guarantees "complete freedom of travel wherever and whenever it will 3e 3csircd over territory and roads in Dot3 zones except I n places o f dispclsi- t im o f m i l i t a r y units, wi thout escort or supervlsim.n

Y w r new Permanm'Ll y Restricted Areas specificsily include a substantial por t ion et' tne f i a t f ond highway net o f East Germany as well as ~ e y road Junctions and bridges which 8re absolutely necessary t o unirnpeoed transit. This will effectively deny t o the u.S. Mission large parts of the country t h a t are nct formally included i n restrfcted areas.

Indicktitlve o f the a n i z r a r i l y restrictive nature or your n e w nap is the fact that Torgac, the very place our armies joineo i n 1945 and Wrc our officers met agair l a s t N;lveder to bury a?

There w a s no immediate c o m n t by Wlygln, and this letter was never answered by W G .

10, h 30 J u l , Chief USKM delivered a letter protesting the detention o f MAJ Wise and SSG Johston at the Sachsenhavsen Concen- tration Camp Memorial. Excerpts f rom the letter appear below:

"Dear CoL onel Pereverzev , I must report yet another tnwarranted and illegal interference

by the East Genan pol ice i n USMM activities. This m s t recent incident de"strat t3 East German willingness t o violate our status as guaranteed by the Huebmx-Malinin Agrement (details o f deten- t ion), This crude detention in the public parking lot o f an inter- nationally recognized war memrfal located i n an open area is one o f the most insulting encounters we have k d with the East German authorities,. . I m i n d yau ~ f ' your legal obligations t o provide for tk security and well being of m i c a n l iaison personnel.,.I trust yw w i l l fully investigate this matter and provide me with an explanation.w

On 21 AI^, Gen Krivosheyev, newly appointed, Chief OP Staff GSFG, visited the USMA Potsdam residence. The visit, part of m inspection o f all three A l l i e d Mfssion W s e s , lasted exactly 30 minutes. His amounced objectives included t o m e t the Chief and Deputy and t o see for himself how the Mission l ived and what he could t o do improve its standard of living. Afier the cursory inspection he addressed three pralems:

11.

a. UXM-propmed :iigh level LS-GSFG metings are compli- catec by deployment o f Pershiny and off-the-cuff remarks by Arnerican leaders. He responaea d t h ’Little enthusiasm t o Chief uspRP.”s position that an overall chiil in t h e US-Soviet relationship need not ru’e out military contacts. He was also pessimistic about h i s meting t k USAREUR C d e f o f Staff a t the m L # Thanksgivimg Oinner .

b. GSFG desires a &finitive USA\:UR answer concerning a former GSFG soldier Serge1 Zhurn who had defected t o the FRG. Chief U5WH replieo that Gm Fiala had already provided a definitive answer t o Gen Pyal’tsev, Chief SNM-F , namely t ha t the defector w a s not i n US custcdy. Krivosheyev expressed some skepticism on t h i s poin t .

c. a G ’ s annoyance with the W M practice o f f lequent pass exchanges. Chief U Y L M respmded first w i t n the argummt that th is w a s a long-standing, purely administrative maskre o f no particular consequence. SFhM-F’s policy of 14 persmel, 16 passes is self- inflicted ana cculd easi ly be c h a m , a reflection o f geDgraphic reality.

01 23 Adg, Chief USHLM met with Chief SEW a t the latter‘s request t3 oiscuss a variety of subjects:

a. Soviet Defector: Colonel Pcrcverzev quoted CoLcnel General Krivosheyev, GSFG Chief o f S t a f f , who desired a more defini- tive answer than had keen received t o date concerning the Soviet cefector Sergey Ivanovich Zhura. Chief E M L M responded to tk ef fect tha t aura was not in US hands, precisely the infcrmtion Fassed by tne USARELR Chief o f Staf f t o the Cnief, SMLM-F, and by Chief USCH ta General Krivosheyev 3n 21 Aug 84 during the latter’s tcur of inspection o f the Potsdam Hause.

12.

b. USlvLM Tra f f i c Violations: I n response t o a series o f alleyations cwrcerning alleged U X M violatfms 3f traffic regula- tfms and speeding in the GD7, Chief M r u l r w s t e o a detailed list o f offenses. Alttiou@i Chief SERB had alluded earlier t o 60 viola- tions in the first six months of 1984, he produceo a list o f only Three, relatively mfnaz, violations.

c. 24 Aug Oetention: Pereverzev indicated his s r c e r n that the mtained Lour vehicle Prad only m e license plate. CUSMLlUl indicated t h a t he shareo this cmcern, since the m i 5 ; s i n g license plate nad been stLen oy East Gernan personnel., an +:“;ion typical o f the behavior of tne East &mans with regard to the Missions. Although avowedly s k e p t h a l , Perevezzw saia he would look into the ratter.

67

a. Chief SERB u s d the detention issut! t o cornplain abuut tk lrli5siOnms repeated failures to honor Mission Restriction Signs MS). chief USMLM's reply includm; the following points: uw respects am does not violate PRA, which are well knwn, have clearly defined boundaries, and encompass approximately 39% o f the GX; paying hew t o unannomcad, umnappea, constantly changing MRS woclld p r o t a d y result in the denial o f an addit ional 40% o f the cowtry t o trie Missions, Subject OP the f e w USAktUR PRA map was raised.

e . Pereverzev stated that the positior, o f WLM-F in Frankfurt was extremely restricted. Chief USbU responseG that W G haa opened the new round o f f33A hpositim, tnat USAEWl hsd respmnded t o esta3lish parity, and that the Us was prepared to mgo- tiatc t o lower levels.

13. On 18 Sep, a t a meting a t the SERB of f ices i n Pctsdam, Colonel Pereverzev hanod CUSILM a letter reqcsestlng a meetlng w i t h the defector S . I. Zhura who, accoroing t o the letter, was "in the hands o f American military auttmwrities in Europe." The le t ter reminded tk U S . side of GSTS's assistance in arrtlnsfng for prompt return o f Allied servicemmbers and dependents w h o had gone astray i r i the GDR ana mentimed t h e *sire c f Zfiurals family members t h d sucn B meeting be arranged.

Chief U X # use0 the meting t o b r ing up two additional points for disclassion:

a. Renovation o f the two hawes i n tae Potsaam compound. Colonel Pereverzev seemed t o be genuinely interested i n get t ing tk work dme.

b. The improper q e s t i o n i n g o f WLW WOs during visits to the Potsdarr, House oy two SERB officers (MAL'TSEV and GRIGORYRN). Chief USWH requested that ChPef SERB caution his officers abmt such actlvlt Les. Pereverzev seemed smewhat embarrassed but rather than being defensive as expected he attributed it t o "the imprmer curiosity o f Junior offfcers.fl

14. On 17 Oct, Chief U S W M and Chief SERB met a t the formerls request. The first order of business was t o deliver USAREW's response t o GSFG's protest r c g a r d i n 5 the improper guest pass docu- mmtatinii o f TSGT Manning (See Detentions and I n c i d e n t s , para H, page 41, for details). Colonel Pereverrev bbjectec t o USAR€UH*s use o f the term "PSJG" since TSGT Flaming w a s not on pass, hence not accredited, a t the tiud of the detention and hence could not be disaccredited. This led to another discussior of the pass exchangt! issue, with Pereverzer r e f w i n g t o admit that pass exchanges had

68

decreased signiffcantly, p a r t l c u l q l y h e n compared with requests submitted by WM-F. It was suggested that SMLM-F increase the number o f their pass requests if parity w a s tk real issue.

Chief USKM t k n advised SER8 of' the following with respect to I. R. fhura, the defector from GSFG:

a. Zhura is i n ths United States.

b. A l l further hnquiries regarding h i s status shwld be made throum diplamat ic channels.

c. Zhura, should he choose t o do so, is eligible t o apply for US citizenship.

Chief SERB, v i s i b l y agitated a t th is response, stated that sin& lar matters had always be= handled in a more positive fashion and that USAREtJR's lack o f helpfulness i n th is matter w w l d not go unnoticed a t Huensdorf.

k x t , a Chief USPeM letter of protest regarding the 9 Uct obstreperous surveillance, pursuit, and threatening o f a U W A tour by MfS personel was passed t o Chief SERB, Pereverzev indicated tha t he had only Usp1LM's word as t o the nature o f the incident and tha t the Us verslon w a s probably exaggerated. Udef l M L M replied that th is most recent incident was noteworthy even considering the usual m i p r e s e n t surveillance Ir the GDR and represented a blatant and dangerous practice which WE$ clearly unacceptable. This evoked an unconvincing response that the letter would be brought t o the atten- t i o n cP sespanslble %olle&gues." In th is m n e c t i m , Chief W mentioned the recent cases o f the f t o f W license plates. Pereverzev seemed genuinely astonished that anyone would regard the plates as in any way desirable. He suggested mce more that prompt notification o f the responsible Komnendatura and cooperation in the latter *s investigation were appropriate ways t o handle such problems +

O m items discussed included the recent announcement o f the fmninent closure o f tk Glienlcke Brlage, lack o f progress an reno- vations of' the Potsdam resideme, and G e n Fialaps intention t o attend the Thanksgiving Dinner a t Potsdam. Pereverzev was reminded o f USAREUR invitation ror Gen Krivoskyev t o also attend this func- tion, Chief SERB was decidedly unenthusiastic and muticus about the l ike l ihood of Krivosheyev 's attendance.

l5. Dn 03 Nov, UJSM-M delivered the CIWSAF?€UR letter protesting the imminent chscrre o f the Glienicke Bridge to CSEW in Potsdam. Colonel Pereverzev appearec t o be genuiM1y puzzled by the impor- tance attached by tk Allies t o th? bridge issue. He indicated that, should tk bridge in fact be closed, he was prepared t a

69

yuarantee unlimited and separate Allled access to the Drewitz crossing p o h t , with a special uni t present solely to process Allfd Mission traffic. Pereverzev w a s reminded o f the importance attached by the Us to keeping t h i s historic and functional link between west Berlin and E a s t Germy open and fcslctiming.

Chief SERB also inquired about US general officer attendees at the 17 Nov Thanksgiving Day dinner. mn receipt o f the nams, Pereverrev solicited possible topics P? conversation should the GSFG Chief o f Staff i n fact decide t o attend n...aside, o f course, from PRA, favorite topic o f

Concerning the PRA issue, Pereverzev again canphind about the claustrophobic conditions under which SMLH-F was forced t o operate in Frankfurt. He contrasted th is with the SMLM situation i n Potsdam, and suggested that, unless sme adjustment WBS made, GSFG might be forced to close Potsdam. Chief U W responded that parity had f i n a l l y been achieved and that any further GSFG restric- tions would inevitably and necessarily provoke further restrictfms by USAREUR.

Pereverzer next complained about de facto PRA i n tk FRG, i . e . , areas which were ostensibly net r e s t r m u t which could i n fact . not be reached wi thwt violation of one or more PRA, Chief LIsMt)d used this opportunity t o show Pereverzer how the area between the Cottbcls and Brand PRA, as depicted MI the W G PRA map, fell precisely i n t o th is category. The two Chiefs ttm bemoaned the presence o f bright security personnel an both s ta f fs who could play such d i r t y tricks on inmcent liaison personnel.

After a brief exchange covering a possible reducticn in/ elimination of Mission Restriction Signs (W%M showed m enthusiasm, mentioning tha t the Allies d i d not recognize the val id- ity o f these signs), CSERE again asked about the poss ib i l i ty o f returning t o the old PRA boundaries. CUW indicated his bel ie f that t h i s could be dom only as an interim measure pending the establishment o f new maps with lower equal levels.

I

16. On 10 NOV, Chief USMLM received the GSFG reply to the CItuCUsAREUR letter o f protest concerning the proposed dosing of the Glienicke Bridge, It was t o the effect that the bridge closure was a purely technical matter writhout political overtones and that a favorable resolution could be easily achieved i f the Berlin Senat agreed. t o underwrite a l l repairs and t o accept that no conditions cwld be attached t o this agreement. The reply w a s presented in the form o f a note verbale. In response to C U W q s query as t o whether th is informal document in fact representea the offlcial CSFG reply t o CINWSAREUR’s signed letter, Chief SERB stated that this w a s the

only reply he was authorized t o give, although there existed a possibility that a formal GSFG reply would be forthcoming. He also admitted that bath the British and French Chiefs o f Mission had been somewhat astonished at the inf'omal nature of the response.

17, On 12 Oec, C U M mt with SERE at the SEW Potsdam offlces. T k agenda i n c l d e d :

a. USMLM delivery o f a USARELlff protest concerning viola- t i o n aP FRG air space. Pereverzev appeared annoyed and cmented that the pratest could surely have been handled the previous day by his deputy, C W L M used the opportunity affonled t o state that W E U R viewed the overflights as very important and that he was instructed, whenever possible, to make a personal delivery o f protest letters t o Chief SEW.

b. Anticipated delivery of a RW CSFG PRA mep, Pereverzev opfned that a new map uould be wuuld be ready sometime a f t e r WE first o f the year.

c. Discussions o f U S U attendance a t the Feb 85 %let Army-Na'vy Day Reception sponsored by the GSFG Chief o f Staf f . Pereverzev asked whether a larger U X M attendance could be expected than i n recent years. He pointed out that, despite pol i t ical differences, nothing i n particular was gained when an agency whose avowed purpose was l iaison insulted the Chief o f StafP o f the head- quarters to which it was accredited. Chief M L M reminded Pereverzev that the attendance issue could be timed back t o the Soviet invasion o f Afghetnistan. ( U W was f i n a l l y allowed to attend in 1985 with six officers and wives . )

d. O~scusslons concerning possible special observances of the 40th anniversary o f the US-Soviet link-Hp a t Torgau. Chief W mntlowd that the exploitation o f %viet and VS veterans' groups on the occasion o f Joe Polowskyus burial at Torgau i n 1983 had been poorly received by the Us. side. It was painted wt that the US would certainly not be interested i n participation i n any event where the ground rules were not clearly spelled out and i n which guarantees could not be furnished that m ef for t would be made t o abtain a propaganda advantage from such an event, Pereverzev sald tha t the Soviet sick I'would never abandon our propoganda effarts for peace."
