1.
Since the Soviet troops returned to their garrison places in late autumn9 the
'ratatian of enlisted'men and etren of entire units has begun. It has been
noticed that railroad transports for this purpose seldom go through Warsaw9
but rath?r north or south of the Brest Warsaw-Frankfurt/Oiler line. It is still
not lsriown what lines are used in the eouthD but to the Korth the transports
pees through Bydgoazezfl where a large mesa hall with a warehouse and military
hospital are being erected, What line is used east of Bydgoszcz has not been
reportedg but the first possibility to be considered is Bydgoszcz-Torun-Ilawa
(Deutsch Eylau)-Olsztyn (Allenatein)-Zheleznodorozhny (Gerdauen), To the west
of Bydgoszcz the section from Bydgoszcz to Pala (Schneid?muehl) is used; from
this point9 the Pill-Stargard Szczecin (Stettin) line or the Pala Krzyz (Kreu~)-
Kostrzyn (Ku?strin) line is used,
2, It is believed that transportation to and from East Germany is .carried out via
Szczecin to a greater extent than before, On 11 December 19529 a train with
two locomotives and approximately 1~0 cars was seen at the Szczecin-Gumience
station. The train was loaded with armos~ed cars and d?parted in the direction
of the German border,
