A total of 428 prisoners interrogated did not know enough of their own
units to be further identified. Approximately 1,000 prisoners were not
interrogated due to the heavy initial influx.
Prisoners were captured from some 24 units not listed above, but the
number of prisoners captured from individual units was not sufficient
to accept the presence of the unit. Further, many of these POWs were
deserters or wounded from the southern front.
