to F-1 Cortrlent, The tiusaren Kaserne in Bautzen is occupied by a VP regiment which
is being trained at the Litton-i:eupurschvitz airfield near Bautzen. The reported
occupation strength of 500 VP men appears too low compared with previous reports
and when compared with the strength of the other VP re,,iments in Cottbus and
Kanenz. The infor::iation that about 200 Soviet instructors are stationed at the
field generally agrees frith the reports frm other VP airfields, The construe-
tion of a tank installation was previously reported for the first time. Se,
