The planes on the northern ge of the field had,. as far as discernible,
rudder assemblies with red leading edgeso=.lore aircraft were probably 25X1
parked in the closed hangars.

Ise A radio installation with four masts which were about 6 asters high was
being erected near the landing field, just west of the railroad line,
Between the masts was a box like tent with a rod antenna about 2 meters

.ch apparently was still under construction.

northern edge of the field on 26 December. All planes had rudder assemblies
with red leading edges, and a directional loop antenna on the fuselage.

About ten sin`; le-engine, ground attack aircraft were
pare in a southern section of the field.
6. A rod antenna about 5 or 6 meters high was located at the take-off point,,
The base of the antenna was about the size of a stool. The radio installa-
tion with four masts, previously located west of the landing field, was
removed and could not be seen in the vicinity of the field3 (5)

8. From a distance, I single-engine, ground
attack aircraft ing over :rommen (N 53/Z 57). Some of the
planes flew very low, others just under the clouds. Smoke was often seen
billowing up on the horizon when low-level circles were made. (6)

has not changed. Two ground attack re,i-nents are believed to be stationed
in Doebe .? tz.

(5) For location o r zo ns a a on, see ems,
25X1 increased co-operation between ground a c c re taen
s a ions. This indicates that the aircraft are transmitted course and position
data from DF stations. The removal of an Adcock DF mentioned in paragraph 6
is reported for the first time.
(6) A firing and bombing range is located near Kremmen. It is used mainly by
ground attack and bomber units.
