SOURCE CHEMICAL PLANTS : SECRET: sAuths 00, SAIO :Init: :Date: 11 Apr 45 : HENDRICKS, Fred, a civilian who lived in the US for almost sixteen years,running a contracting business in IOC} S, N.Y. He was very observant, and gave all information willingly. He has been giving voluntary assistance to OW in BUCHEN. Rating . : B-2 Date of Information: Feb 45 Interrogator: F.J.S. II. PLANT NEAR 1COENIGS-4USTERHAUSEN . Source claims to have worked for three years as a maintenance man and "trouble shooteril at a large chemical plant located seven km NORTH of NIEDTRLAHi4E, GSGS 4072/ NE 52/10, Third Edition/V-03, a subfl'b of KOEFIG6-WUST2RHAU6EN. He states that this plant manufaotured formaldehyde, hexa, hexalol; and a po vierful high explosive (hexogen ?), from methanol brought from . a nea.rby plant at '4ILDAU, The factory employs approx 300 French and German workers. .1 The buildings are placed among tall -ptne trees, in an area 'a:pprox 1200x 1,000m, (See Sketch). Each building is of brown bricL: and has a sixteen-inch concrete , roof built to hold earth; and planted with small t .russ. Wire trellises are affixed to each building to support vines. However, all these efforts at camouflage are of no - avail, because the plant's two "smokeless" chimneys emit poisonous fumes which turn all nearby vegetation brown. The lOcationls also given away by a large pile of lime waste, white against the light brown of the blighted surrounding terrain. Chemical produots ara carried from building to building in overhead pipes, supported by conspicuous concrete piers. All buildings are oonnected by paths 2 m wide, in addition to the service roads showa on st&atch, which are approx 4 m wide. The water supply, which is essential to the operation of the plant, is carried in pipes laid approx .4 feet underground. III. ALTERNATE PLANTS , According to souree; two similar factories' intended for use as alternates in case the NIEDERLAHZ2 plant should be destroyed, have been built at SCHROBENHAUSEN, .1aVaria,•GSGS 4416/5/6002, and at P''' ITNF rnDE/v/Eilii:R 1 aCie, 4416/Q-4/2559. These plants are laid out in the same manner as the one at NIEDERLOME, and the same blighting of vegetation is caused by chemical fumes from the chimneys. Source . states that .these . sitos would also be easily detected from the air due to the large piles of line waste.
