AI-Generated Summary
A 1946 letter from a Swedish citizen to the military reporting observations of restricted explosion testing areas in Northern Germany, potentially relevant to contemporary reports of rocket sightings.
On August 7, 1946, Bruno Gustafsson, an ombudsman for the Swedish Teachers' Union, wrote to the Air Defense Department of the Swedish Defense Staff. His letter was prompted by recent press reports regarding rocket projectiles arriving in Sweden from the south. Gustafsson sought to provide information he believed might be of interest to the authorities based on his own travels. He recounts that on Tuesday, July 23, 1946, he was traveling by a Swiss bus through northern Germany, en route to Basel. A few hours south of Hamburg, in the area of Lüneburg Heath, he observed that the area was restricted. He noted the presence of several new installations for explosion experiments within the area. Furthermore, he recalled that local announcements had warned the population in that region that large-scale explosions were scheduled to take place on July 21 and 22, 1946.
