TUPORMATIONS FROM WEST GERMANY.
Before entering into thesurvey of the political situé
ation as it develops, there is an ihtelligence it em of the greaq
test importance. The Soviet Action in West German v has been
completely reorganized in its highest Russian brackets. Both
Intelligence and Political Warfare have received rew commanders
and entirely new directives, The Intelligence Section is hence=
forth in the hands of Soviet Lt. General Kubalov. The Political
Warfare Command is co-ordinated by Lt. General Pulkanin,
Both sections have received larger financial means,
