Personnel Movements:
Personnel movements were observed at the following airfields:
a. Doeberitz: Approximately 500 men left the Air Technical School in groups
of 20 to 30 between 22 and 26 October. Most of these men, it was learned..
had been transferred to other units while some had been sent to the USSR.
Some of the newly arrived recruits which had been stationed in a hangar
were moved to the vacated billets in the Richthofen Kaserne.
b. Finow: Approximately 90 soldiers departed from the airfield on 17 and
18 October. The fifty recruits which arrived on these two days were
issued black-bordered blue shoulderboards in place of the black-bordered
crimson shoulderboards which they had been wearing on their arrival.
c. Briesen: Twenty soldiers departed on 20 October.
d. Oranienburg: Approximately 150 men wearing black-bordered blue shoulder-
boards arrived on 18 October.
e. Welzow: On 26 October, a 90-axle, 950 ton train moved from Welzow to
Brest Litovsk.3-
5. Fu-1Shipments to Oranienb_,g Airfield:
6 October: 22 tank cars from Boehlen
10 October: 12 tank cars from Ruhland
13 October: 13 tank cars from Ruhland
18 October: 20 tank cars from Ruhland
21 October: 10 tank cars from Ruhland.
1. The aircraft of the special unit of the Werneuchen Bomber Division pre-
sumably returned to Welzow where they had been stationed prior to mid-July
1955.
2. It is believed that the airfield is now occupied by two ground attack
regiments. The second unit is probably identical with the regiment which
had been stationed at Doeberitz prior to late September. Both regiments
had been temporarily stationed at Erfurt-Bindersleben during the fall
maneuvers of the Eighth Guards Army.
3. Three trains from Gross Doelln and seven from Weizow had previously gone
to Brest Litovsk. The shipment of 26 October indicates the completion
of the retransfer of the unidentified bomber unit which had arrived in
Welzow from the East in mid-July.
