A'ecz Div previously stationed In the two barracks installations are 'believed
to have moved to the Doeberitz troop training grounds on 26 June 1952
Exercises during which the troops were not at their posts fo,.' prolonged
periods of time were also observed during preceding years. The soldiers
who had closely cropped hair possibly were recruits although.: no informa-
tion on arrivals in the Soviet Zone of Germany of pertinent trains from
the S S.R. is available, There is also a possibility that old soldiers
received a special haircut for the sununer, season. Lieutenant Colonel
Levchenko (fnu) is known as alleged corcr.anding, officer of a tank regiment
and Loewen Kasernes, see Annex 1
(3) The Till ;-`iulenspiegel settlement probably is -identical with the Elstal
