it was believed that the trains reported in the
report carried sigpa1 units of the 'Z'XLY, .Itz Rifle Corps or
of the Third Shock Army, as a signal corm-mn-Lc4 Lion practice
was probably held near thn Stala g I at Luckenwalde during the
same period. It is not substantiated but believed possiOle that
the above units returned to their hone stations on 9 Sept;e giber 1952,,
Thus the troop train from Luckcnwalcle to Schwerin' Stendal and
Jla-debtir should have carried a sic;zial.unit rather than AT troops
However, further information is recuirad _
e assembling of the SSYT;-type flatcars at the Al truppim railroad
station was for the loading of a tank unit of the 12th (
