...ERZ HAT STETS EIN REICH STARK GEMACHT, BUTTER UND SCHMALZ HABEN HOCHSTENS EIN VOLK FETT GEMACHT--who said that...
Having been surreptitiously in the Eastern German city of Aue, the "head of the mountains" in the Erz Gebirge which is a headquarters of the Soviet pitchblende mining enterprise, I should like to report an additional service . . . performed by these Bergfrauen.

The Russian-German authorities in the scenic Erz Gebirge (Ore Mountains) of southern Saxony did not have to explain.

They carry the pitchblende to the surface in crude buckets attached to winches. In one shaft workers must climb up & down a 500-ft. ladder. The whole area is under heavy guard. Once in the mine area, even volunteer miners may not leave. The pitchblende is flown direct from Saxony to the Soviet Union...
