The practicing units were in most cases composed of several reinforced regimental elements of various divisions which, presumably under the command of an army, launched quick and, in some cases, distance-covering attacks with air force support and under the assumed employment of atomic weapons on the side of the enemy. After the completion of the third major exereisecf, elms Third Gds Mecs Army and elms First Gda Meos Army (Tank), there are indications that, after early October, the Eighth Gds-Army ,(Moos) and the Third Shock Army (Macs) will also begin with their fall maneuvers. 1. a.

No information has been received on type, scale, duration and area of the 1958 Polish fall exercises. The abovementioned press report is worth noting, however. Previous reports indt -ted that the USSR had no intention of e i tellites with atomic weapons. The Soviet and Satellite press constantly criticize the equipn+.ent with atomic weapons and training under atomic wartime conditions of the West German Bundeswehr while, on the other hand, Polish military personnel has been trained on behaviour at the battlefield in case of atomic warfare for a prolonged period.
