The train departed toward Berlin at 3:30 p.m. At 3:30 p.m. on 7 July, a
train consisting of an undetermined number.of flatcars carrying 40 trucks
with pontons and 5 to 6 boxcars came burg
and proceeded toward Berlin. 50X1-HUM
Comment.. The t Hauptrnann Strasse is still
believed to quarter the 495th (?) Arty Regt of the 9th Gda T Div
me the 234th port Regt of the division.
Ilior information on the possible existence of rocket
launchers with mortar regiments, see comment on reference report. The
loading is believed to have been done by units of the 90th Gds Engr Bn
of the division from the Sportlager which,
moved to Jerichow for practices. It therefore appears possible that the
train from the direction of Neubrandenburg carried units of the 88th Engr
Rogt (?) of the Second Gds 14ecz Army *w~ the same destination.
