Gak Journal
The page to the left came from the daily intelligence journal of a GAK who escaped over the border in northern Bavaria. The page lists the types of cars and license numbers he saw that day. He additionally listed a patrol from the West German Bavarian Border Police and a patrol from the U.S. Army's 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment that approached the area of the border he was observing.
