QggM"&, The troop trains probably carried large contingents of
the at Gds Meez Div back to their home station in Halle. During the
summer of 1954, the division was stationed at the Lossa troop
training grounds. Since the bulk of the division was entrained at
Ohrdruf and, according to previous reports, components of the division
with about 80 tanks were dispatched from Weimar toward Halle on
28 September 1954, it is believed that the division terminated its
su -traininz with a large-scale field exercise in the Los sa Weimar-
Ohrdruf area.
