Comment. It appears that no essential changes were observed in the
occupation of the military posts.
It can be assumed tit the following units were stationed at the troop
training grounds at Doellersheim during the period under review:
Parts of the 284th Gds Mtz Rifle Regt of the 95th Gds Mtz Rifle Div in
Eisenstadt, and pares of the Gds Pdlecz Regiments of the 13th Cds It ecz Div
from Vienna and Klosterneuburg.
The engineet battalions of the two divisions were f.'robably stationed at the
engineer training grounds northeast of Melk. A motor-vehicle repairshop,
probably belonging to the 23rd AA Div, was listed in Langenzersdorf, and
was apparently evacuated.
