MacArthur Foundation and receives major support from the MacArthur Foundation and the Smith Richardson Foundation. The Project supports the full and prompt release of historical materials by governments on all sides of the Cold War, and seeks to disseminate new information and perspectives on Cold War history emerging from previously inaccessible sources on “the other side”—the former Communist bloc—through publications, fellowships, and scholarly meetings and conferences.

PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURE WARNING Photosensitive Seizure Warning Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while playing or watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or hitting oneself on nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Par- ents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms - children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following pre- cautions: Do not sit too close to the screen. Preferably play the game on a small screen. Avoid playing if you are tired or have not had much sleep. Make sure that the room in which you are playing is well lit. Rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes per hour while playing a video game. © 2008-2013 Wargaming.Net.

A. Vorob’ev (appointed December 1987) 28th Army Corps 15th Guards Tank Division 18th Guards Motorized Rifle Division 48th Motorized Rifle Division Independent Assets History: This is actually the second formation of the Central Group of Forces. The first one was formed in June 1945, controlling the occupation forces in Czechoslovakia, Austria and Hungary (see Appendix 4). It was disbanded in 1955 when the forces in Austria and Hungary were withdrawn from those countries. The second formation occurred as a result of the Warsaw Pact invasion Czechoslovakia in August 1968. As a result of a directive issued on 16 October 1968, on 24 October 1968 the Headquarters of the Central Group of Forces was re-established, this time for forces solely on Czech territory. These forces would remain “temporarily” until, as a result of the agreement signed between Czechoslovakia and the USSR, all Soviet forces are to be withdrawn by July 1991. This was agreement was fulfilled when on 27 June 1911 the Headquarters, Central Group of Forces was disbanded with the departure of the last Soviet forces. A. Group-level Assets: 1.

Museum (USA), until mid-2008. It was restored at Lesany in 2010. Some new information was revealed thanks to “palic” : the Serial Number is 10112, the tank was produced by CKD Prague. The original Czechoslovak military registration number was 13.962. The tank was delivered to the CZ Army in 1937, and after the German occupation this vehicle (minus its turret) continued its operational service in the WH as a Mörsezugmittel 35(t). After some unknown damages, this vehicle was sent to Skoda Pilsen to be repaired and remained there until the liberation of Czechoslovakia (it was not recovered from the Hillersleben Proving Ground, contrary to what the Aberdeen museum said). This vehicle was then equipped with a turret and repaired on request of the US HQ, and then shipped to the USA for tests of the pneumatic and steering system Doug Kibbey, January 2007 - http://www.com-central.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5132&start=45 R2 (Romanian designation of LT-35) – Muzeul Militar National, Bucharest (Romania) “=VNVV=Rosev”, November 2011 - http://www.scalemodels-bg.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=136&start=1200 LT vz.
