A total of 300 soldiers and 80 vehicles are involved in this operation, which are on the way to an exercise in the former chemical plant in Rüdersdorf, about 30 kilometers from Zeuthen. maz-online.de reports that ...
The exercise will be particularly noticeable on November 17th, when another action takes place on the L401 in Zeuthen.
