Escaped Soviet Official Reports Vast Atomic Fortresses
An escaped Soviet industrial official claims Russia operates at least four huge atomic plants. He says hundreds of captured German scientists and thousands of forced laborers work there, with centers guarded by the security police and linked to intelligence from the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. Locations include Sikhum in Trans Caucasia, Kara Kum desert, near Zlatoust and Ziatoust, and Tashkent with lead physicist Joffe. The account quotes various alleged figures and wartime connections, noting secrecy and near-impenetrable perimeters around the fortress sites.
