25X1 cor2.nent,., The report indicates that no change occurred in the
oCCta )a i on o ' Strasshof airfield o The evacuation of Deutsch a'.agreir by air
force units is credible and is supported by Austrian press reports ih ich
complained about the removal of considerable quantities o l, billeting
equipment by Soviet soldiers. liccording to these press reporrts, 90 houses
with l21; apartments and 136 individual .rooms were -vacated, 'Ihr. headquarters
of a Soviet bother division was previously believed uo be located in Deuteth
The large number of requisitioned hi llots - the large nui:_uer of
,otor vehicles observer', and the fact that an aircraft repair shop apparently
belonr:,s to thi headquarter: s may lead to the assumption that Deutsch
'agram is possibly occupied by a corps; headquarters to whIch aar;punits
are assig'a~C~a Howev'er', It is also possible ti:;at only a supply h'adguarters
is located there,. Further obseirvrat:ion of this unit a Ray -: ossi'hi r lead to
a clarification,

people in rrossenzersdorf had changed and that different I 25X1

ai.rf-Leldt, The new location of this regiment is still un:cn ivn;, according
to infoxnation on the status and occupation of the other airfiel(Is in the.
Soviet Zone of Austria it is not believed possible, that this bomber regiment
was stationed at another airfield. transfer to the .Pst :'ungarian area
is considered possible. The observation of many 25X1
25X1 I I revioaxsly stationed in Deutsch ; a .:a 1 and Stras hof supports the
assn aption that the units :Irma Deutsch / graan may now be quartered in Aspe rn
and Grossexlzersd orf . The chances in the location of radio iristallati oils are
related to this transfer,
