One of my hunting friends talked often about fields piled with lathes,milling machines,all manner of other machinery as well as bathtubs,wash basins,pipes,light fixtures,etc,etc, taken from the East Zone.He was in the prison camps 4 1/2 years and the Russian Gvt.let this "stuff" stay out in the weather the whole time,rusting away.On the other hand,the Russian civilians saved him, even though they didn't have much them selves.<<
