![]() SECRET G2, 5ID(M) 120100 120545 Jun 2005 ANNEX A (Enemy Dispositions) to INTELLIGENCE ESTIMATE NO 142 References: Per para 1, Intel Est 142 1. Three major groupings of Warsaw Pact forces have been identified in Poland. These are, from north to south, Baltic Front, 1st Western Front, and 2d Western Front. Together with Central Front in Czechoslovakia, these three fronts comprise the Western Strategic Direction (Western T.V.D.) of the Warsaw Pact, the headquarters of which is believed to be located in Lublin. 2. The recent offensive of German 3d Army has caused considerable losses in the Baltic Front grouping, and thus the strengths listed can no longer be considered accurate. 3. While the front has been quiet in the areas of 1st and 2d West Front, it is likely that some reserve formations have been detached from these groupings and have been shifted north to deal with the German Third Army breakthrough. Fuel shortages are likely to prevent the rapid completion of this redeployment. 4. The following abbreviations are used in this annex: TD: Tank Division GTD: Guards Tank Division MRD: Motorized Rifle Division GMRD: Guards Motorized Rifle Division MarDiv: Marine Division BGB: Border Guard Brigade Unit identifications followed by (C) indicate units which are assessed as having been converted entirely to horsed cavalry.

Agents attempting to open relations with him have not returned, and he must be assumed to be hostile to all parties to the war.

When Krakow Declared itself a free city, the division apparently did not leave the city and is presumed to form the cadre of the city's defensive force, which the former division commander, Major General Zygmunt Bohusz-Szyszko, may now be commanding.
