Their presence was reported from all vital points, located along a No?th-South line going all through Zurope from Kaliningrad to the Black dea. these vital points are especially: Kaliningrad itself, the 2oal-mining aistiicts of Silesia (especially around Katowice, Klatzko and Walbrzych), the neighboring Czech and Moravian mining centers, the Carpatho-Ukrania, some Slovak and hungarian industrial units near the country's borderline ano finally in Transsylvanian and Romanian mining and industrial centers.
