road shipments were observed between 28 and 30 April. On 20 Apa: il.n fuel
truck was filled at the fuel dump.2
=f,, A V -type radar set with a small wooden cabin was located 50 to 70 meters
north of the fuel dump. Another set which was about half the size of the
aforementioned one was seen about 10 meters from its This unidentified set was
fitted with a vertical mesh wire device about 50 cm in diameter. A horizon-
tal dipole which projected from the center of the mesh wire pointed contin-
uously in an approximate northern direction to the landing field,, Haring
air activity the upper part of the large radar set rotted .clockwise at about
1.5 to 20 rpm , while the unidentified set did not move.
5) From the. sout'iern portion of the fields no AA gun emplacements could be de-
termined on the landing field. A worker from the, field stated, that AA gun

Ia=Gcsmmerito The location of the fuel. dump was known from previous reports.
Its caDadity and the spur track are mentioned for the first time.

sets.
