Maribor. The large tunnel which had been erected during the war was reopened,
and necessary repairs were started. The whole anti-aircraft unit was
mobilised, and all preparations were made for defense against air attacks,
exactly as during the German occupation.
2. The same measures are being planned for Ljubljana, to be put in effect at
the end of December 1948.
g. There are two batteries of anti-aircraft artillery in the Ptuj' forest near
Maribor. Another battery has been set up on. the mountains above

of Bled, at the very some plane where they stood during the war, between
