the infantry. About 250 people, half of whom are women, are employed at these converted
warehouses which are equipped with machines shipped in from Poznan. There is no mili-
tary garrison stationed in Wabrzezno.

trains are loaded with goods destined for the Soviet Army in East Geririany. The passers
