From the G-2 Department Report for SHAEF - October 1, 1945
Attn:: Commander of the 6th US Army Corps.

Subject: Red Army forces in the area of Lodz.
- In the Pabianice-Zduska Wola belt and along the railway line, armored forces of the 11th Tank Guard Armies. Morale units high, statistic state full or higher than full time.
Support is provided by the 6th Artillery Art Brigade.
- In the eastern sector of Zelow-Dlutow-Tuszyn, units of the 24th Motorized Corps of Guards - state: as above. The unidentified infantry divisions of the NKVD were also sent to the area - unknown arrival time.
- In the western sector, parachute brigade elements are readily available, but in the face of supply difficulties, it is doubtful that full combat will be introduced.

Lodz itself is defending a new unit, the 1st Vistula Front - they are not very strong, because the Soviets are counting on stopping our forces from the city. Jeli im si nie uda, maja pewne rezerwy, ktre mog rozmieci w miecie.

Note - After we have taken over the Soviet staff documents, we should try to anticipate our actions and attack within the next 24 hours.
