headquarters, folx infantry Kommandos, and seven Sonderabteilungen. * 50X1-HUM

VP Oborrat Tittel, (fnu), chief of staff; VP Kommandeur :3urghardt, (Thu), PK ,
officer; VP :onnandeur amemr, (fnu), director of training; VP Oberrat Gaertner,
(fnu), operations officer; and VP Oberrat V;Ullnann, (fnu)1 commandin: officer of
1st Kommando.
3. Each Kommando was equipped nith 3 or 4 light mortars, 8 model 34 light machine
guns, 20 Soviet submachine Guns, 30 to 40 model 44 submachine Guns, and one
carbine for each police man. The Sonderabteilungen had one T-34 tank, 3 or 4 guns
of undetermined caliber, several heavy mortars, and several light Pr guns.
The destroyed buildings in the VPD billeting area wore being reconstructed.
Comment. Since the VPD in Dessau-Kochstedt received many police from
IC ormer 't VP Dereitschaft (Prty) in Erfurt on its activation, it is
1-,elieved that one of the four infantry Konmandos mentioned in the present
report is actually an artillery Konmando.
