the th Gds Mecg Div.

or
20 May: 6 boxcars carrying some 300 soldiers wearing black-
epaulets, 26 trucks including 3 trucks with panes and 15 trucks carrying
prepared bridge building timber.. Each truc~'~~~ a different load. The
places mentioned in the present report as recl~ving stations of the
distributed shipment are poste of engineer units. The kaserne on Schumke
See is believed to be occupied by the 35th Engr Regt of the Third Gds
l~2ecz Army and thet~tt~tt with epeeial amphibious .vehicles, the subordinatdon
of which is undetermined. The distribution of engineer units and trucks
with prepared equipment among four different army areas tends to indicate
that this was a measure by GSFG, rather than the Third Gds Mecz Army.
Comment. This is assumed to have been a shipment of an air force
construction unit which went to the Querfurt airfield.
