^-)revious information p. Observations made. so far indict-ite that three to
.five troop trains,, each of ICU to 53 railroad cars, are needed for the
transportation of the personnel and equipment of the ground units assigned
to one air rc4ment.
~i.nce the report mentions at least three troop trains, it is believed that
the ground units of an unidentified fighter regir nt have been transferred 25X1

T R3 trains are believed to have, carried air force personnel Confirms

`i`hes:: shipments are believed to involve air force personnel shipped in
connection-with the current transfer of air force units in the Soviet Zone
of Germany. Those shipmants from Juetorbog to Brandenburg may be -round
units of the second of the two unidentified ground attack re,;ir>onts,prevlous-- 25X1
lytelieved to be stationed in JueterbogAltes Lasers The ground units of
the other ground attack regiment were transferred to. Staakeri between 19 and
25 January 1951. The Brandenburg-Driest
airfield is occupied by an unidentified fig for regiment: the Brandenburg--
Arado airfield is serviceable. 25X1
Pro3 ably the first incoming shipments of the ground units belon ing to the
second of the two unidentified bomber re;.z.ionts stationed in ?"ernouchen.
They arrived in Jueterho? after the airfield ?ras vacated by the ground
attack rc-invents. The ground ?ei ito of the other bomber ro~-ir ent were trans--
f,.rred to Jueterbog between 19 and 25 January 1951. 25X1

Probably further shipments of recruits arriving from the U.6.S. Compare
similar observations made in 3'ran'rkfurt/over between 3 and C Fel.rinry 1951.
The shipment reported C
was oc.s? y identical to one o the t-o shi .rents which were
o sere
(6) The large yiumtaer o3 a cars serving as crash cars and the arrival on 7 and
8 February 1951 of 29 flatcars with field kitchens is striking. The dispatch
of empty flatcars toward Brost Litovsk via. Fr.nkf'urt/Oder as oi,serYed between
25 January and 14 February may have been connected with the shipments reported
