Hi,

Nice theory, but none of the Mauser sites was under direct communist control, neither Russian nor East-German.

Oberndorf lies way too much to the southwest and the Americans, French and British took initial control of the site, French kept control until 1948.

The Berlin site, part of the DWM complex, also became part of the French sector and never became DDR territory.

The Russians did manage to ransack the site before the French took over, but the Russians only had the site for a couple of days.
