1. Conditions in the Border Area near Hirschfeld*
Polish Military Office on ul. Begd. Zaleakiego in Stettin
19 January 1955 25X1
1. From 11 to 19 December 1954, the barracks installation of the Polish
border guard troops near Firechfelde (N 53/V 06) quartered about 200
border guards, some of whom were assigned border-patroling missions
and some train-escorting missions. The soldiers were not supposed to
talk to German railroad officials in the trains, but recently
displayed more kindness. the
conditions in the Polish border sector near Hirschfelde seemed to
be quieter than before. this was obvious from the smaller number
of permanent sentries and the relaxing intensity of service
activity. In December 1954, the narrow tracing zone was newly
harrowed, while the lookout posts were occupied as usual.'Patrols
generally consisted of two soldiers who carried submachine guns.

buildings which was surrounded by a narrow greens was observed
on the northwest side of ul.Bogd.Zaleskiego and west of Al. 25X1
Wojeka Polakiego in Stettin (0 54/c1 55). A Polish sentry who wore
a khaki uniform and red collar patches stood in front of each
building and at the front side of the installation which fronted
Al. ;9ojeka Polakiego. A flag mast with the Polish banner was
observed in front of one of the buildings. Soldiers and officers
in neat uniforms were observed at the windows. No motor vehicles
were parked in the area of the installation. 1
