4 October, About 7 iwiG-15s were parked in the eastern hangar.
About 2,000 camp beds were installed in rows at the western hangar.
It was assumed that this hangar would temporarily serve as
quart;erin,* billets.
4. On 29 September, two formations of three iaiG-15s practiced
flying over Doeberitz airf4_--1d. On 30 September and 4 October,
11-10s practiced flying individually or in formations of three.

Comment. Since raid-Liarch 1955, Doeberitz airfield has
been occupied by the ground attack regiment, which previously
was stationed at Brandenburg-briest. Because of repair work,
the ground attack regiment from Alt Loennewitz was transferred
to 1randenburg-Briest airfield. During fall maneuvers, units
from the ground attack division at Brandenburg were employed
in the exercises, while the ground attack regiment from
Doeberitz was transferred temporarily sometime after 6 October
1955, to the training area of the Lighth Gda Army at Thuringia.
LUG-15s are used for training purposes at Doeberitz airfield.
The camp beds placed in the western hangar of Doeberitz airfield
are presumably scheduled for the temporarily quartering of recruits.
The estimated number of 2,000 camp beds seemed to be rather `iigh.
