Comment. AnoVier source repo::~ted on 12; arch 1951 that some of the
oopa o -he Droeger. Kaserne, prob-ably the 34th Gds Mtz Rifli:, Refit of
the 12th Cds Taxilc Div, had left for field exercises.
The present report, irdicatir't that th( installation w w again ::ceupie7 to
capacity? agrees with the situation prior to the departure of t:e troo s,
at Uihici tine it as believed that ':;he installation quartered to 14th Gds
;.'tz n, fle lie t and probably also he adquarters units of the Secon=d Gds ;recz
Art ;re Howevern the estimate of only 8 0 troops in
the present report seems too lot? since a motorized rifle reCime:.?t of a tank
division has a stren :th of about 1,511.0
