C mmeut. On 25 February, another source reported the departure of
,,a2 r columns of units of the 19th Gds Meet Div from the Rerrenk-rug Kaserne
a.nd t e Anger Kaserne, which may have left for exercises. According to in-
fotion in paragraph 2 of this report, other units left between 24 and
$7 February, presumably for exercises in the Magdeburg area. They included
~~arits of the 36th Pon :Fridge Regt of the GOFG stationed in the Seeckt Kaserne,
wax i _; of the 3d Gds AAA Div stationed in the flak Kaserne and units of the
''y3d Gds Mecz Regt of the 19th Gds Necz Div stationed in the Nachrichten Ka-
-.,erne. `.this is at variance with the observations by source of paragraph, 1,
;:ho should at least have noticed that, in addition to the Flak Kaserne, the
'~; rnlrug Kaserne and the Anger Kaserne were partially occupied. There is,
the possibility that the units mentioned a bove had returned by 28
-eb -u .ry.
