THE USTKA ARTILLERY RANGE IN POLAND (C)
The artillery range, covering a large area on the Baltic Sea west of USTKA
(STOLPMUENDE) (N54-35, E16-51)(UTM XA-2050), was the assigned firing range for the
11th ALA Div. Although the division's Armanent station was in BRZEG (BRIEG)
(N50-52, E17-27)(UTM XS-7434), in the spring of each year it spent approximately
3 months on the firing range.
s a a on is shown. on B of this report.
Sections C and D of the report concern, respectively, other military units and
installations in the area, and civilian installations which are considered of

under each installation title.
A. FIRING RANGE AND INSTALLATIONS
Item 1Tr
Description
1 Firing Position Nr 1 There were 12 firing positions over a
UTM XA-134483 distance of 16 km from position Nr 1 to
the Wioko-Morskie range on the west. 1?
Each position could emplane six guns and was marked by a sign, about 2 feet long
and 6 inches wide, on which SO Nr 1 (stanowisko ogniowe number 1) firing position
was printed in white on a red background. The roads to positions 1, 3, 4p and
5 were stone, while the others were sand, causing crews difficulty in bringing the
guns into the positions. The positions were flat, of hard-packed earth, and were
from 4 to 10 m above the sea. They measured approximately 80 m across the front
and were 16 m deep. The guns were masked by camouflage nets.
2 Ammunition Dump All ammunition used on the firing range
was stacked at this location. The stacks
were covered by long tar-papered roofs but were open to the air on all sides.
Also stored at the site, which was in a large hollow, were gun-cleaning materials
and gun tools.
