  • Rifle Divisions on 22Nd June 1941 There Were 15 Rifle Divisions in the Leningrad Military District
    The Actual Strength of all Soviet Land Combat Units in a Deployed (D) State on 22nd June 1941 Part IV 6 The Leningrad Military District (Northern Front from 24th June 1941) In this section we will focus on the actual manpower and equipment strength of the land combat units deployed in the Leningrad Military District on 22nd June 1941. We will examine the strength of the individual combat units and reconcile this with the actual strength in the whole of the military district. Rifle Divisions On 22nd June 1941 there were 15 rifle divisions in the Leningrad Military District. On 1st June 1941 the average personnel strength in these divisions was 11 985 men, or 83% of the wartime authorised TOE.1 In terms of personnel this made the rifle divisions in this district the strongest of any in the Western Military Districts when the Germans attacked. Three of the 15 rifle divisions (the 237th, 177th and 191st) were new and in the process of forming. The average strength of the 12 older established divisions was over 13 100 men, which made them close to full strength. Perhaps the Soviets maintained these divisions at higher than average strength due to the recent hostilities with Finland. Table Len MD Divs 1 shows the actual strength of the rifle divisions in the Leningrad Military District on 22nd June 1941. Most of the rifle divisions were well established divisions with six formed before 1939, five formed in 1939, one in 1940 and three in 1941. The average rifle division in the Leningrad Military District on 22nd June 1941 had an inventory containing: up to or over 100% of their authorised MGs and mortars, around 93% of their authorised AT guns, 73-89% of their authorised light artillery and infantry guns (76mm), 78-102% of their authorised medium to heavy artillery, and all their authorised heavy AA guns.

Many men died and many more were wounded in a conflict which could have been avoided if the free world had not been ignorant of the ways of the Communists. Today, many years after the armored spearhead of Communism first drove across the 38th parallel, 350 ,0 0 0 men are still standing ready to repell that same enemy. It is hoped that this study will throw light on the errors which grew to war so that they might not be repeated at another time in a different place.

Vast amounts of researchhave been done on the war, but one important aspect- the motivation behind the decision of the People's Republic of China to enter the war- remains mysteriously masked, or at least unconvincingly explained.

We are at the Jewish Center in Brooklyn, meeting with a veteran of the Great Patriotic War. Kindly introduce yourself, and tell us when and where you were born. My name is Abram Iosifovich Sapozhnikov. I was born on December 15, 1920, in the city of Berdichev [Berdychiv], Ukrainian SSR. —What your pre-war life was like, what can you remember? I remember quite a lot. I had a brother and a sister. In the 1930s we left and traveled like gypsies. We got to Tver and from there to Moscow Oblast, near Moscow. Mom and dad worked in Moscow. I had to cook porridge for myself and for my brother and sister. Then my brother . In 1936, I wanted to enroll in a factory apprenticeship school [FZU], but they did not accept me because I was called Abram. I wanted to become an electrician. —You were refused in 1936 because you were Jewish? Because my name is Abram. They did not say it was because I am Jewish, but yes, this was the reason. I don’t remember how, but I got all the way to the Kremlin and appealed to Krupskaya to allow me to study.
