YFegt of the :.,i`;1'.th. Ode iirrrl from Jlauchau?
(2) Various oilservaticns from italaT Luchern.'a1de indicate that radio

vehicles is either a measure cprcparing for a field exercise, or for
repairing of vehicle at the signal repair shop of the GOFG situated
in Stalag a ; chicles observed there belonged to the First, Third and
Fourth Gds :Sect ^rriy. t;.ccordi.n ; to the present report probably vehicles
