Rockets and People head central institute of the USSR Ministry of General Machine Building (Minobshchemash or MOM) and then MOM’s first deputy minister;Yuriy Aleksandrovich Mozzhorin, who also became director of the head institute after Tyulin; Colonel Pavel Yefimovich Trubachev, a future first regional engineer and chief of military acceptance at the head institute NII-88; and Captain Kerim Alievich Kerimov, a future chairman of State Commissions. A special regiment of the Guards Mortar Units was billeted in the town of Sondershausen.The regimental commander introduced himself to me as the future commander of a rocket troops subunit. The military leadership was finally wide awake. But the situation with the German specialists was clearly not satisfactory. We needed to take urgent action to entice them from the Western zone. 298
Chapter 21 Operation “Ost” There were more and more complaints from the higher-ups. This time it was coming from General Kuznetsov, GAU’s authorized representative, to the effect that his officers were not receiving materials and satisfactory technical information from the Germans. One of the high-ranking artillery officers who had visited Bleicherode told me bluntly, “We have the impression that you Russian aircraft specialists already have a better understanding of this technology than the Germans here. But the mortar and artillery specialists aren’t receiving the materials to study.” They also accused me of setting a very high pay scale and food rations for the Germans. We obtained rations and issued them with the consent of the SVAG, who were striving to show that German scientists were being provided with both moral and material support, despite the burdens of the postwar period. Germans with engineering and doctorate degrees at the Institute RABE received the following food rations every fourteen days: sixty eggs, five pounds of butter, twelve pounds of meat, and a fully sufficient amount of bread, sugar, vegetable oil, potatoes, cigarettes, and alcoholic beverages.Their monthly salary of 1,400 Marks was issued without any deductions. Soviet scientists back home in Moscow during those years would not have dreamed of such conditions. Despite our incentives, however, we still did not have “the right Germans” working for us.We needed to stir up a second wave and get some real specialists. The institute had now become a well-organized enterprise, and we were not ashamed to invite people to undertake good and interesting work.We undertook efforts in two areas.The first, which Pilyugin took on, was to offer scientists and highly qualified engineers in specific specialties the opportunity to work for us through the SVAG Thuringia directorate, where there were already many good administrators. Prior direct involvement in rocket matters was not a prerequisite. This personnel program quickly led to the discovery of prominent specialists who made valuable contributions, even though they had not previously worked at Peenemünde. This is how Dr. Kurt Magnus joined us. Dr. Magnus was a first-class theoretician and engineer in the field of gyroscopes and theoretical mechanics. He quickly acquired an understanding of the gyroscopic platform technology and announced that he would take on all gyroscopic problems. He summoned Dr. Hans Hoch, his 299
