Comment. the troop train
on June 1954 probably carried contingents of the 23d AAA Div from the
Apetlon AAA range to their home station. Changes in equipment with AA guns and
motor vehicles observed at Camp Apetlon in late June 1954 were posFibly
connected with the above rail movement. 1 11

Comment The redispatching to Hungary of a troop train from Wallersdorf
at the Parndorf railroad station again confirms that the Apetlon AAA range is also
used by Soviet units stationed in Hungary. 25X1
