Soviet Claim German Spy Ring Financed by U S Work
Pravda quoted a Berlin correspondent naming Gerhart Pinkert, a former Wehrmacht colonel, as head of a German spy ring in the Soviet occupation zone of Germany. The group allegedly coordinates from Munich under Colonel General Heider, aims to contact German agents abroad, and uses Austria and Sweden for intelligence work. Tass reports note hundreds of thousands of Germans fled from Western zones into the Soviet zone, with bread cards rising by 214000 in three months due to hunger.
