Wolfkrieg 2010 Special Rules 

1. General Fire Support: 

a. "General Fire Support" is similar to "Guns Across the Volga" rules in that the guns are always placed 

off board. 

b. "General Fire Support" never counts as a "unit" for force morale or force total platoon/company 

count purposes as it is not actually part of the force, much like normal air support. 

c. “General Fire Support” does have a staff and includes a Forward Observer Rifle Team (Fearless Trained 

for Soviets and Confident Vet for Axis). In addition a force Commanding Officer (CO) may also attempt to range in 

“General Fire Support ” with the normal -1 modifier. 

d. “General Fire Support” is not available every turn as it is also supporting other forces in the battle area. 

To check availability of “General Fire Support” roll a single die. 

I. For Axis Forces: A roll of 4+ indicates that a German 150mm Battery (Veteran, AP5, FP2+) is 

available this turn. 

II. For Soviet Forces: A roll of 3+ indicates that a Soviet 152mm Battery (Trained, AP5, FP2+) is 

available this turn. 

e. “General Fire Support” can place a “Ranged in Marker” when it ranges it successfully, and if it is 

available again in the next turn may fire at the same target again automatically succeeding with the first range in 

attempt. If “General Fire Support” unavailable in the next turn, the “Ranged in Marker” is removed. 

2. City Board Rules: 

a. There are three city boards that will be used during Wolfkrieg 2010 to represent the main city area of 

Stalingrad itself. These boards have special rules that need to be taken into account. 

3. Two List Options: 

I. City boards are entirely Difficult going except for buildings and rubble areas which are Very 

Difficult going. 

II. Fully tracked vehicles do not take bog checks in city Difficult going but are reduced to 8” of 

movement and restricted from moving at the double. 

III. Infantry and man-packed guns are always concealed on city boards as there is plenty of 

debris to hide behind. Infantry and man-packed gun teams are also under bulletproof cover 

when in buildings or rubble. Foxholes may not be dug on streets or in buildings. 

IV. Building models often have bases that extend beyond the edge of its walls. These areas are 

considered “rubble” and are Very Difficult going but do not impact line of sight. 

V. Sewer Movement rules are in effect on all three city boards. Sewer movement rules are as in 

the main rule book pg 225 except that each player must place his six manhole covers within 

4” of a building or street and no closer than 8” of another manhole cover. 

VI. Guns Across the Volga Rules are in effect on all three city boards. 

VII. Many city buildings are much larger than one room but often don’t have separate interior 

rooms delineated. This will impact how Bunker Busters and artillery work. When shooting at 

teams in building these guns target a single team. That team and all teams within 2” of the 

target team in the building are also hit by Bunker Busters or potentially hit by bombardment. 

In multi-floor buildings, target a team on the highest occupied floor, teams that are within 2” 

of a point directly below the target team on each lower level are also hit by Bunker Busters 

or potentially hit by bombardment. 

a. Many players have optional “A” and “B” lists for their forces that vary in support/HQ selections taken. 

b. Players will decide which force option, “A” or “B,” they will use after attacker/defender is 

determined. Before deployment begins for either side, each player with two list options will place 

their provided A/B Counter with the side up that matches the force option they will use and cover 

that counter with their Company/Battalion command team. Both players will remove their command 

teams simultaneously to reveal their choice before the first unit of either side is deployed.

Operation Wintergewitter 

Kapinsky, Russia December 1942 

LVII Panzer Corps was assembled at Kotelnikovo. With 6th Panzer in 

the middle, 17th Panzer to its left and 23RD PANZER to its right, plus the remnants 

of the Romanian Fourth Army holding the flank, the offensive began on 12 

December 1942. Two rivers lay in the force's path — the Aksai and the Myshkova. 

The force made good progress at first, reaching and crossing the Aksai by the end 

of the first day but being drawn into heavy fighting at The 8th of March collective 

farm at Verkhne-Kumsky, and around the railway ganger's hut immediately to the 

north of the Aksai's banks. The relief force ground towards the Myshkova, using up 

precious time, but could not cross. In Stalingrad itself, General Paulus dithered as 

to whether to instruct his exhausted and freezing troops to break out to the south, 

where they would join with Hoth's panzer force at Abganerovo and together 

withdraw to Kotelnikovo. Without a direct order from Hitler, he could not make the 

decision. Obsessed with not withdrawing from where his forces had set foot, Hitler 

did not give that order, and Paulus stayed put. Whether his fuel- and food-lacking 

forces could have gotten themselves out of Stalingrad at all, by then is open to 

question.

Royal 2 nd 

Hungarian Army 

In 1942, the Hungarian Second Army was given the task of protecting the 8th Italian Army's northern 

flank between Novaya Pokrovka on the Don River and Rossosh. This allowed the German Sixth Army to 

continue to attack Soviet General Vasily Chuikov's 62nd Army defending Stalingrad. 

The Hungarian Second Army, as almost all of the armies protecting the flanks of the Sixth Army, was 

annihilated when the Soviets launched Operation Uranus, Operation Saturn, and Operation Little Saturn. 

As part of these operations, two Soviet pincers drove through the Romanian Third Army to the north of 

Stalingrad and the Romanian Fourth Army to the south, cutting off the Sixth Army. 

On December 12, 1942, as a counter move, the Germans launched Operation Winter Storm to relieve 

their Sixth Army by attacking through the pincers of the Soviet armies participating in Operation Uranus. 

The Soviets counter-attacked on December 16, 1942, and launched Operation Little Saturn, penetrating 

between the Italian Eighth Army and the Hungarian Second Army at the junction held by the Italian 

Alpine Army Corps and threatening the flank of German forces attempting to relieve the Sixth Army by 

cutting the would-be relievers off at the Donets River. 

On January 13, 1943, Russian forces, overwhelming in numbers and equipment, began the Voronezh- 

Kharkov Strategic Offensive Operation on the Bryansk, Voronezh, and Southwestern Fronts 

simultaneously. The Russians rapidly destroyed the Hungarian Second Army near Svoboda on the Don 

River. An attack on the German Second Army further north threatened to bring about an encirclement 

of that army as well, though it managed to withdraw and was forced to retreat. By February 5, 1943, 

troops of the Russian Voronezh Front were approaching Kharkov. 

During its twelve months of activity on the Russian front, the Second Hungarian Army's losses were 

enormous. Of an initial force of about 200,000 Hungarian soldiers, about 100,000 were dead, 35,000 

wounded, and 60,000 taken prisoners of war. Only about 40,000 men returned to Hungary, scapegoat 

by Hitler for the catastrophic Axis defeat. "No nation lost as much blood during World War II in such a 

short period of time.” 

The Hungarian Second Army, as most other Axis armies in the Army Group B, ceased to represent a 

meaningful fighting force. The German Sixth Army, encircled in Stalingrad, surrendered on February 2, 

1943. The remnants of the Hungarian Second Army returned to Hungary on May 24, 1943. 

Armored Division 

The 1st Field Armored Division (1. Tábori Páncéloshadostzály) had the 30th Tank Regiment and the 1st 

Motorized Rifle Regiment as its primary components. The 30th Tank Regiment comprised a company of 

engineers and two tank battalions, each with one heavy tank company of 11 Pz IVs and two medium 

tank companies of Pz 38(t)s. The 1st Motorized Rifle Regiment consisted of three motorized rifle 

battalions and a motorcycle company. 

17

The 8th Motorized Company was part of the 2 nd Motorized Rifle Battalion when it was sent to defend 

the southern flank of the Hungarian 2 nd Army near a bridgehead at Svoboda on the Don River. This 

company was totally destroyed while operating as a rear guard for the 1 st 

Armor Division, and was never 

reconstituted.

2nd Hungarian Army 

18 June, We left ‘amid silent people and sad sounds of bugles’, destined for the ‘blood-soaked land of Russia’. Mother of God 

guarding over Hungary, pray for us and defend us from all sins and disasters! Amen.’” 

“’Everywhere crushed Russian tanks can still be seen. We look at them and fear the idea of this Red hell moving against 

Hungary. Thanks be to God that this has been stopped. We are firmly confident that we shall smash the Red danger for 

Europe.’” 

-- Diary entries from Corporal István Balogh, 1st Hungarian Motorized Brigade, taken from his body on the bank of the Don River 

three months later 

Area of Operations 

When the Hungarian government signed the Tripartite Pact with Italy and 

Germany in 1940 and entered the war as part of the Axis in 1941, it was not to be 

part of Hitler’s vision of a new Europe, but rather to regain territory lost for their 

role in the First World War. Under the rule of Regent Admiral Horthy, Hungary 

began to regain territory, the First Vienna Award in 1938 returned lost territory 

from Slovakia and Ruthenia. Following the German invasion of Czechoslovakia in 

1939, and with German approval, Hungary was able to reclaim the remainder of 

Ruthenia. In 1940, under the Second Vienna Award, Hungary received large parts 

of Transylvania from Romania. 

When Operation Barbarossa commenced in 1941, Hungarian politicians were split about 

supporting Germany as the Soviet Union had offered to support Hungary’s territorial claims 

against Romania in exchange for Hungarian neutrality. Hungary’s decision to enter the war 

was made following an alleged Soviet bombing raid on the cities of Kassa and Munkács on 

June 26, 1941, the following day the Hungarians declared war on the Soviet Union. 

The initial invasion consisted of the Carpathian Army Group, formed from units stationed 

in the Carpathian Mountains opposite the Soviet frontier and was composed of the 1st 

Mountain Brigade, the 8th Border Guard Brigade, 24th Artillery Regiment, and the Mobile 

Corps. From July to November 1941 the Mobile Corps lead the 26 

Hungarian advance; moving 

from positions in the Carpathians to Mecsebelovka, just to the south of Kharkov. 

This Flames of War Company represents 

units of a Gépkocsizó Lövész Század 

(Motorized Fusilier Company) from the 1st 

Hungarian Motorized Brigade, 1st Armored 

Field Division, 2nd Hungarian Army 

involved in the Battles for Uryv in the 

summer and autumn of 1942, northwest of 

Stalingrad. The focus of the Uryv battles 

was to repulse Soviet bridgeheads across the 

Uryv, Karotyak, and Stutye Rivers.

In December 1941, Admiral Horthy decided to limit 

Hungary’s involvement in further Russia operations to the 

minimum, contributing an army of three corps and one 

armored division. The Hungarian 2nd Army consisted of III 

Corps (6th, 7th and 9th Light Divisions), IV Corps (10th, 12th 

and 13th Light Divisions), VII Corps (19th, 20th and 23rd 

Light Divisions), and the 1st Armored Field Division. As the 

new Hungarian 2nd Army was being moved to the front the 

Germans launched Operation Fall Blau on June 28, 1942. 

The Hungarian units that took part in the initial attack were 

the III Corps HQ, the 7th and 9th Light Divisions, and 

elements of the III Corps troops. During the operation 

Hungarian troops - initially equipped with Hungarian 

weapons were re-supplied with German weaponry to ease 

logistical problems - took Staryi Oskol on July 4 and by July 

7 the III Corps leading units had reached the Don River.

The Hungarians had barely fortified their 

positions behind the Don River when the Soviets 

launched attacks to establish bridgeheads at Uryv, 

Karotyak and Stutye. The Hungarians counterattacked 

with the newly arrived 1st Armored 

Field Division, pushing the Soviets out of Uryv 

into a small bend in the Don River to the north of 

the town. During the first Battle of Uryv on 27 

July, the Hungarian armored troops destroyed 21 

T-34 tanks. Unfortunately, the attack was 

suspended when ammunition supplies ran low. A 

second attempt to crush the Uryv bridgehead was 

made on August 10, but Soviet resistance proved 

tough and after taking high casualties the 

Hungarians were forced to withdraw. On 9 

September, the final attempt –organized and 

planned by the Germans - was made to destroy 

the Uryv bridgehead. Taking part in the attack 

were the Hungarian 7th, 12th, 13th and 20th Light 

Divisions, supported by the 1st Armored Field 

Division, and one German Division of the XXIV 

Panzer-Corps. However, after five days of heavy 

fighting the attack was broken off, both sides 

sustained substantial casualties and the Hungarian 

troops were left to fortify the positions in the area 

and seal off the Soviet bridgehead.

Through the month of October 

1942, the German offensive in 

Stalingrad had slowed to a crawl. Bitter 

house by house fighting was taking its 

toll on men and materials of the German 

Army. Hitler was displeased with the 

lack of progress. His solution was 

specialty troops and specialty 

equipment. This meant 5 pioneer 

battalions and the experimental sIG33B 

assault guns. 

On November 8 th 

, 1942 the following units were supplied to the 305. ID in order 

to breakthrough to the bank of the Volga east of the Barrikady Gun Factory. 

• 7 companies of infantry (Grenadier 

Regiments 544, 546, 576, 578 plus 

Sturmkompanie 44 and 

Sturmschwadron 24) 

• 2 divisional pioneer companies of 

the Armee 

• the 5 newly supplied pioneer 

battalions 

• 2 Sturmgeschutz-Abteilungen, 

including the sIG33Bs (244 and 245) 

• 1 panzer company from 14. Panzer- 

Division 

• In addition, the heavy weapons and 

the bulk of the artillery from the 

sector of LI. Armeekorps 

30

On November 8 th 

, the following order arrived for Major Eugen Rettenmaier (I. Grenadier- 

Regiment 578): 

The bank of the Volga is to be taken securely into our hands and the encircled enemy destroyed. As 

reinforcement, Kampfgruppe 578 has received Pioneer-Bataillon 50 and allocated Pioneer-Bataillon 305. For 

the attack, all batteries made available would operate on the attack area or suppress the enemy’s artillery 

positions. Multiple connections and cross-connections were secured to all of these batteries. 

The assault is planned as follows: the Apotheke and the Kommissarhaus would be taken in a surprise attack. 

The attack of Regiment 576 on the fuel installations would begin at the same time, and after reaching a predetermined 

point in advance of the attack are of Regiment 578, a thrust through the gully on to the Volga bank 

and to Haus 79 would take place. The artillery would suddenly open fire at the beginning of the attack, 

suppressing and screening the designated targets with smoke. All Infanteriegeschutz and mortars would be kept 

ready to combat enemy resistance in the area. 

The following Kampfgruppen were formed from Regiment 578: 

1. A group reinforced by Pi.Btl.305; Mission: take the Apotheke in a surprise attack. 

2. Pz.Btl.50; Mission: take the Kommissarhaus (the commander expressly waived being supported by infantry) 

3. A group reinforced by Pi.Btl.305; Mission : thrust through to the Volga, reach the water’s edge of the Volga 

and press further up the river along the sandbank. 

4. A reinforced battalion; Mission: prepare to attack Haus 79. The beginning of the attack would be separately 

ordered for both the last groups.

Kampfgruppe Remer 

4te Kompanie, I Bataillon, 

Infantry Regiment Grossdeutschland 

On 1 Apr 1942, While resting and refitting near Orel, the Regiment 

reorganized and expanded to become Infanterie-Division Großdeutschland (mot). The 

existing Regiment was renamed Infanterie-Regiment Großdeutschland 1, and was joined 

in the Division by Infanterie-Regiment Großdeutschland 2, which had been formed in 

Berlin. Supporting units in the form of a Panzer battalion, an assault gun battalion and 

increased flak, artillery and engineers were added with the upgrade to divisional status. 

The veterans of "GD 1" had a very poor relationship with the new infantry regiment from 

the outset, as no cadre personnel of the existing Infantry Regiment GD were used to 

form the new organization. Little contact took place between the two units, and they were 

known to each other by derogatory nicknames. When Oberst Lorenz left GD 1 to 

command the division, this rocky relationship deteriorated even more as he apparently 

paid little attention to the second GD regiment and favoured his old unit. 

After the reorganization, the Großdeutschland Division was assigned to 

XLVIII.Panzerkorps during the opening phases of Fall Blau, the assault on Stalingrad. 

The division took part in the successful attacks to cross the upper Don river and to 

capture Voronezh. In August, 

the division was pulled back 

to the north bank of the 

Donets and held as a mobile 

reserve and fire-brigade 

counterattack force. 

On 1 Oct 1942, the Regiment 

was renamed "Grenadier 

Regiment Großdeutschland". 

Their counterparts became 

Füsilier Regiment GD. After 

the Soviet Operation Uranus, 

the Regiment was involved in 

heavy winter fighting with the 

rest of the Division near Rzhev. 

The exhausted division then 

took part in Generaloberst 

Erich von Manstein’s abortive 

Operation Wintergewitter, 

the operation to relieve 

Stalingrad.

Unit Description: 1 st Panzerpionierkompanie, 16 th 

Pioneer Battalion (mot) 

16 

th 

Panzer Division, Stalingrad 1942. 

th th 

Division History: The 16 Panzer Division traces its origins to the 16 Infantry Division 

formed in October 1935. The 16 th Infantry 

Division was mobilized and participated in the 

invasion of Poland in 1939 and then later fought in 

the 1940 battle for France. In 1940 the division 

was split to form the cadres of two new divisions, 

the 16 th Panzer and the 16 th 

Motorized Infantry 

Divisions. 

th 

In December 1940 the new 16 Panzer was 

transferred to Romania under the pseudonym Lehrstab-R II as strategic reserve for the 

Balkan campaign. The division’s services were not required. However, it was well 

positioned to take part in Barbarossa in June 1941 as part of the Army Group South. 

th th 

The 16 Panzer was assigned to 6 Army under command of General der 

Panzertruppen Friedrich Paulus in the summer of 1942 leading to its participation in the 

upcoming and fateful Stalingrad campaign. They were further assigned to the XIV 

Panzerkorps commanded by General der Panzertruppen Hans Hube. Under the 

command of Generalmajor Gunther Angern, the 16 th 

Panzer was heavily involved in the fighting at 

Stalingrad. Protecting the north flank of 6 th Army, 

the 16 th Panzer advanced to Stalingrad via Lvov, 

Pervomaisk, Zaporozhe, Taganrog, Maskeevka and 

Artemorsk. Resistance stiffened at Gumrak. The 

16 th Panzer then pushed on to the Volga River, 

sealing off the northern sectors of Stalingrad on 

August 25 th . 6 th 

Army forces to the south of 

Stalingrad advanced more slowly against heavy resistance until finally in position. 

th 

The 16 Panzer stood guard, in local reserve, during the first German onslaught into 

Stalingrad on the 14 th through 26 th , September. The 16 th Panzer was then called in 

during the second major assault on September 27 th . 

38

the 16 Panzer, 60 th Motorized, and 389 th Infantry 

assaulted in the direction of the Tractor Works and the 

heavy industrial area in northern Stalingrad. They 

advanced nearly 3000 yards and virtually destroyed 

two Soviet Divisions, the 95 th and 112 th 

. They then 

surrounded and cut off the Barrikady and Red October 

factories while nearly reaching the Volga inside of 

Stalingrad. This was some the heaviest and most 

intense fighting during the long Stalingrad 

conflagration. The northern German forces bogged 

down in this sector while only achieving local 

successes and then local defeats. Winter was 

approaching and the Germans knew the log jam had to be broken now. 

th 

Paulus threw in is third and final offensive on 14 October. The renewed push on the 

Tractor Factory by the 16 th Panzer and others resulted in 

breaking the Russian 37 th Guards and splitting the 

Russian 62 nd Army. The 16 Panzer and 60 th Motorized 

again attacked south advancing another 2000 yards 

taking the Tractor Factory and reaching the Barrikady 

Factory and the Volga while cutting off the Red October 

Plant. Then 6 th Army activity began to slacken while 

Mother Russia welcomed her greatest ally. Winter was 

here and the 16 th 

Panzer high-water mark had been 

reached. 

Fighting now settled into a back and forth slugfest while 

th th 

the Russian offensive cut off the 6 Army. The 16 

Panzer, along with the entire 6 th 

Army were eventually 

surrounded and destroyed. 

th 

The 16 Panzer was later reformed in France and then 

transferred to Italy where they participated in the heavy 

fighting at both Salerno and Naples. The division was transferred back to the Eastern 

Front in November 1943 arriving in December. The 16 th Panzer fought in the Kiev area 

where it eventually withdrew to the Vistula River. The 16 th was re-fitted in Poland during 

the summer of 1944 and then transferred back to the Vistula River. The 16 th Panzer 

eventually retreated into Czechoslovakia where it surrendered to elements of the both 

the Russian and American armies. 

39

Unit Organization: My force represents a typical, reinforced, Panzrpionierkompanie that 

participated in the fierce fighting in Stalingrad. The pioneers are reinforced with heavy 

weapons needed for such a city fight where heavy firepower and high explosives are 

required. They also have the benefit of air power, which was ever present in the skies 

over the city.

Kharkov, 12-13 May 1942 

Tony Thompson 

Hauptman Hans Erdmann commanded the 2 Kompanie of 3. Panzerdivision’s motorized 

Panzergrenadier Battalion from the Division’s 3. Panzergrenadier Regiment. He led his unit 

during the Soviet counter-offensive centered on the Izium bridgehead offensive. Hauptman 

Erdmann was ably assisted by his third platoon leader; Oberfeldwebel Ernst Kruse. Both men 

were awarded the Knights Cross, Erdmann on 12 December 1942 and Kruse on 6 October 1942. 

Kruse would be further honored with the Oak Leaves to the Knights Cross on 17 May 1943.

At 0630 hours on 12 May 1942, an hour long Soviet artillery bombardment began falling near 

the Russian village of Nepokrytaia, followed by 20 minutes of concentrated Soviet airstrikes. 

The German Panzergrenadiers hunkered deeper in their positions and waited for the Soviet 

attack. The Germans met the Russian infantry assaults with concentrate machinegun fire and 

localized artillery support from the divisional guns of Artillery Abteilung 75 10.5 cm guns. 

Despite heavy losses, Soviet attacks continued supported by heavy artillery barrages and 

concentrated and continuous airstrikes. Soviet commanders began to feed their second echelon 

units into the firefight and when further supported by tank companies consisting of T34s and 

Lend Lease Mark II ‘Valentines’ the stubborn Panzergrenadiers finally fell back, withdrawing in 

good order to defensive positions prepared by the Gepanzerte Panzerpioneers of the third platoon 

of 1 Kompanie, Panzer Pioneer Battalion 39, who remained to support 2 Kompanie. 

Concerned over possible attacks by Soviet heavy tank units, 3 Panzerdivision’s Commanding 

Officer, General der Panzertruppen Hermann Breith, authorized II Battalion’s units to be 

support by a unique unit, experimental Sturer Emil heavy tank destroyers. Nicknamed “Max” 

and “Moritz” for Wilhelm Busch’s naughty children, these sullen monsters used their 128mm 

Rheinmetall guns to destroy KV series tanks at ranges over 1500 meters. Reinforced, the men of 

3. Panzergrenadier Regiment held soviet advances to only 10 kilometers. By holding the Soviets 

to a minimal gain in ground, the II Battalion set the stage for successful counterattacks by the 

Panzers of 3 Panzer Regiment and elements of the 23 rd Panzer Division on 17 May 1942. By 24 

May German forces had completely surrounded the Soviet offensive and by 30 May, over 

200,000 Russian troops had been killed or captured. Over 1200 Soviet tanks were lost compared 

to 45 for both 3 rd and 23 rd Panzer divisions.

The 3. Panzer-Division was formed 15 October 1935 at Wünsdorf. It took part in the occupation of 

the Sudetenland area of Czechoslovakia in October 1938 and later fought in Poland and in France. 

Elements of 3.Panzer’s 5. Panzer Regiment also fought in the invasion of Norway. It lost several units to 

the forming 5. Leichte-Division January 1941 and in Mar received replacement units from other divisions. 

It fought on the central sector of the Eastern front before being transferred to the southern sector March 

1942, taking part in the drive into the Caucasus. Serving with distinction at Kharkov and Kursk, 3. 

Panzer would fight on the Dnieper as the Soviet offensives began, eventually withdrawing through the 

Ukraine and into Poland before being transferred to Hungary. It fought in Hungary until April 1945 when 

it was transferred to Austria where it later surrendered to the US Army. 

Numerous members of 3. Panzer Division were decorated, with 16 men awarded the Commendation 

Certificate of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, 140 earning the German Cross in Gold, 12 the 

German Cross in Silver, 35 the Honor Roll Clasp of the Heer and 47 awards of the Knight's Cross and 5 

of these later receiving the Oak Leaves to the Knight’s Cross.

A Brief History of the Luftwaffe Field Divisions 

The first Luftwaffe field divisions were organized in the autumn of 1942 as a result of 

the depletion of German ground forces on the Eastern Front. Because of these shortages 

in the East, Reichsmarshall Herman Goring was faced with the dilemma of transferring 

excess Luftwaffe flight personnel to the Army (Heer). Instead he chose to establish his 

own private army under Air Force commanders. 

Twenty two divisions were planned and organized by the OKW and the Luftwaffe Air 

Ministry. Having received only minimal training in combat, many of these divisions 

were hurriedly dispatched to the Eastern Front. By order of Goring, these divisions were 

only to be involved in defensive actions along quiet sectors of the Front. There were not 

to be split up and were to be committed to combat only as a single fighting force. This 

was never implemented. Further, although, they were to be under the tactical command of 

the Heer, the divisions were to remain under Luftwaffe control for all other purposes. 

As originally conceived, the Luftwaffe divisions were to relieve regular army divisions 

at the front for short periods of time to allow refit and replacements. This plan was never 

carried out. Instead the Luftwaffe divisions were committed to the front with varied 

success, although none of their performances were spectacular. 

Luftwaffe Field Division soldiers wearing their Air Force Blue 

12.FD(L) 

12.Feld Division (Luftwaffe) was deployed on the northern sector of the Russian front in 

late 1942 as part of Army Group Nord (North). There it participated in the attacks on 

Leningrad. The Luftwaffen-Jäger-Regiment I am modeling was one of two Jager 

regiments assigned to the 12.FD(L). 

Typical of Luftwaffe field divisions, the 12.FD(L) only had about half the units of a 

Regular Army division. The Air Force Blue Uniforms were worn until they wore out in 

service and were replaced with regular army uniforms. The 12.FD(L) was also under 

equipped or equipped with older captured weapons as was typical of all Luftwaffe field 

divisions. However, as Goring had access to large numbers of vehicles, the 12.FD(L) as 

well as the other Luftwaffe units serving on the Eastern Front were well equipped with 

motor transport.

Luftwaffe Artillery Unit on Road March 

Concept of Force 

My force is designed to portray what may have been a typical Luftwaffle field 

company with division support responding to the Russian attacks. Not a lot of 

information is available down to the company level. Divisional operations are known, 

but little remains of the company records of these divisions that served on the Russian 

Front. This is at least in part because many of these units were either destroyed or 

disbanded in the face of heavy fighting. 

I have four infantry platoons in my force as these were primarily infantry formations. 

Three are at full strength and the one at partial. Equipment was limited in what was 

available to these units after the army reorganization. One of the full strength platoons 

and most of the support platoons have received their replacement grey uniforms. The 

others are still getting by with Air Force Blue. My company also has a heavy machine 

gun platoon and an anti-tank platoon.. An artillery platoon with rocket launchers is 

attached. My company has an excellent anti-aircraft platoon (8.8cm Flak 36 AA guns) 

attached. This was typical of most Luftwaffe field forces. And, of course, we have air 

support. No tanks are attached, as these units were used mostly in defensive settings.

13th Guards Division 

A direct Stavka (Soviet Supreme General Staff) directive ordered the 13th Guards Division (in 

the midst of its refit, resupply, and reinforcement) to the Volga River and Stalingrad as 

reinforcements for the men fighting the Germans on the other bank of the river. The 13th arrived 

in pieces, with its men exhausted from a grueling forced march across large tracts of territory. 

Due to being in the midst of re-fit and resupply, one thousand of the division's men were 

unarmed, and nearly all of the rest were short of ammunition. After being briefed by Lieutenant 

General Vasily Chuikov, the commander of the 62nd Army (which consists of all of the troops 

fighting within and around Stalingrad), on his assignment, Rodimtsev famously and 

determinedly declared, 

"I am a Communist! I have no intention of abandoning the city [Stalingrad]!" 

Immediately, Chuikov decided to send this poorly-armed , yet determined unit straight into the 

midst of the battle. Because of the influx of new recruits due to the substantial reinforcements, 

the division was now largely inexperienced, and lacked both maps and knowledge of Stalingrad's 

blitzed terrain, which would prove enormously difficult to overcome in the struggle ahead. 

However, Major General Rodimtsev, thanks to his experiences serving during the Spanish Civil 

War was very familiar with street combat. At 17.00, September 14, the forward elements of the 

13th Guards Division swiftly moved across the river to reinforce a line that was being held by a 

mere 15 tanks and few hastily assembled combat groups. It is estimated that more than half of 

the first echelon perished during the river crossing. Ultimately, after extremely heavy losses on 

both sides, the German advance was repelled. Rodimtsev's soldiers re-captured the Mill and 

secured the central river crossing for other regiments of the 13th division. 

The following morning, one of Rodimtsev's junior officers, Lieutenant Anton Kuzmich Dragan 

was personally ordered by Chuikov to hold a key railroad station in downtown Stalingrad against 

an impending German assault. Dragan proceeded to gather a platoon of less than fifty men and 

56

moved them over to the railroad station. Here, the small, but determined force prepared itself for 

the German's attack. 

Soon after digging in, a substantial force of German infantrymen arrived to seize control of the 

station. Dragan and his soldiers proceeded to repeatedly frustrate the Germans in an epic roomby-room 

struggle for control of the depot for nearly three weeks. Breaking through walls, 

crawling over the rafters, and burrowing under the floorboards, the Russians would yield but a 

portion of the building to the Germans, only to emerge elsewhere and start the struggle all over 

again. 

Exchanging gunfire down hallways, lobbing grenades back and forth between rooms, Dragan's 

men inflicted as many casualties as possible on the enemy. In spite of this heroic resistance, 

Dragan's platoon was eventually reduced to a handful of men. After running out of ammunition, 

and with their rations gone, one of the Soviet Guardsmen took out his bayonet and carved on a 

wall, 

Rodimtsev's Guardsmen fought and died for their country here. 

Under a cover of darkness, Dragan and the five remaining soldiers under his command 

eventually slipped out of the building, made their way through the German lines, and later 

rejoined the fight with their Guardsmen brethren. After approximately three weeks of room-byroom 

combat for control of the railroad station, the Soviets Germans suffered immense casualties

Wolfkrieg 2010 C. Clay 

In November 1942, the Red Army unleashed Operation Uranus . The attacking 

Soviet units under the command of Gen. Nikolay Vatutin consisted of three 

complete armies including the 5th Tank Army. The objective was to break 

through enemy forces along the Don River, attack east, and link up with friendly 

forces attacking west to encircle the German 6th Army in Stalingrad. 

At 0530 on the morning of the 19th, 

violent artillery barrages battered the 

Romanian’s entire front-line. The 

weather conditions were harsh: blizzard, 

snowing, -20 degrees Celsius. The 

conditions made close air support and 

rapid reinforcement impossible 

The preparation and build up for the 

massive Soviet attack was detected by 

troops of the Romanian 3rd Army 

holding the northern flank of the 

German Sixth Army. Requests for 

reinforcements were refused. (1) 

Romanians along the Don River 

The Soviets assaulted the positions of the Romanian 14th Infantry Division with 

the 5th Tank Army and the junction between the Romanian13th Infantry Division 

and the 1st Cavalry Division with the 21st Army. (2) 

60

T-34 Tanks and Tankodesantniki on the move 

The Romanian 37mm and 47mm AT guns were useless against Soviet tanks so 

the Romanian troops had to use grenades, anti-tank mines and Molotov cocktails. 

In the first hours they managed to delay the advance and destroy some armor, 

but eventually had to retreat or be encircled. Thinly spread, outnumbered, and 

poorly equipped, the Romanians, were completely shattered by the Soviet attack. 

The Soviet tank and mechanized forces raced east 

in their half of a great pincer movement and met 

friendly forces advancing to the west two days 

later near the town of Kalach. Their positions 

sealed the German 6th Army in Stalingrad and 

successfully blocked Hoth’s Panzers from 

breaking through to relieve the trapped enemy. (3) 

On February 2nd, 1943, the 

resistance of Axis forces in 

Stalingrad ceased and over 

90,000 prisoners marched 

into Soviet captivity. 

After the war ended, one in 

ten returned home. (4)

2 nd Soviet 

Guards Army 

2nd Guards Army was formed according to the order of the Staff of the Supreme High Command 

from October, 23rd, 1942 on the basis of the 1st Reserve Army. Formation and training was spent in 

rear of the country, in the Tambov, Michurinsk and Morshansk areas. The Army initially comprised the 

1st Guards Rifle Corps - 24th, 33rd Guards and 98th Rifle Divisions under Guards General-Major 

I.I.Missan, and the 13th Guards Rifle Corps with the 49th, 3rd Guards and 387th Rifle Divisions. 

By the time of the Battle of Stalingrad, the 2nd Guards Army had become the most powerful force in the 

Red Army. The 2nd Guards Army appeared on the scene after the Soviet Operation Uranus had 

successfully encircled the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad in November 1942. In December 1942, as 

preparations started for Operation Saturn, the 2nd Guards Army was ordered by an impatient Joseph 

Stalin to get ready for the attack on Rostov. The assault and capture of Rostov was the ultimate goal of 

the Red Army for Operation Saturn. 

In December 1942, plans for Operation Saturn had to be altered. The German Operation 

Wintergewitter, led by Field Marshal Erich von Manstein's Army Group Don, made an attack on the 

Stalingrad Front in an effort to relieve the Sixth Army in Stalingrad. Thus, Operation Saturn was changed 

to Operation Little Saturn, which was to be a counter-attack that would be launched as soon as 

Operation Wintergewitter subsides. The German forces, spearheaded by Army Group Hoth, made rapid 

initial advances but was stalled at the 

Myshkova River. Colonel-General Hermann 

Hoth's panzer divisions were at a standstill 

and were suffering heavy casualties, even 

before the bulk of the 2nd Guards Army had 

arrived. By this time, Manstein realized that 

the operation was doomed. The 2nd Guards 

Army, under General Rodion Malinovsky, had 

been transferred to Stalingrad Front to halt 

the offensive. Stalin had agreed to this 

decision. 

65

After Operation Wintergewitter had petered out, Soviet forces in the South-West Front led by the First 

Guards Army successfully launched Operation Little Saturn against the Italian Eighth Army. After that, 

the 2nd Guards Army and the 51st Army launched another counter-offensive, this time against Army 

Group Hoth, right before Christmas 1942. Not only had Operation Wintergewitter been halted, the Red 

Army had made substantial gains against Army Group Hoth, Army Group Don, and also Army Group A in 

the Caucasus that month. 

The 2nd Guards Army made a very significant contribution to the Soviet halt of Operation 

Wintergewitter and the successful counter-attacks that followed. The 2nd Guards Army remained a 

powerful force fighting on the Eastern Front until the war's end in 1945. After the war ended, 2nd 

Guards Army, numbering six rifle divisions in two corps, was withdrawn to the Moscow Military District 

where it was eventually disbanded.

13 th Tank Corps, 64 th Army 

During the battles around Kiev in the late summer of 1941 the 13th Tank Corps, 

as well as many other units, was destroyed. The corps was reconstituted in early 

1942 and Major General of Tank Forces P.E. Shurov was appointed its 

commander. On 2 June 1942 the corps was in the city of Kupiansk, east of the 

Donets River, and came under control of the Southwestern Fronts 28th Army. 

Operation Blue, the German 1942 southern offensive, began and the 13th Tank 

Corps was tasked with liquidating enemy forces that crossed the northern Donets. 

Between 9-15 June 1942 the corps was involved in intense combat and suffered 

very heavy casualties. To off-set these losses the 158th and 167th Tank Brigades 

joined the corps, and the severely depleted 88th Tank Brigade was transferred to 

another corps. From 16-20 June 1942 the corps defended between the Donets 

and the Don rivers, again suffering heavy casualties. The corps then conducted 

a fighting withdraw toward the Don River between 21 June and 1 July. General 

Shurov was killed on 1 July and was succeeded by his chief of staff, LTC 

Zhdanov. On 5 July 1942 the corps was withdrawn to refit and resupply and was 

transferred to the 64th Army under Lt General Shumilov. 

The corps received the 6th Guards, 13th, and 254th Tank Brigades and 

transferred the remnants of the 158th and 167th to other tank corps. During the 

battles in and around Stalingrad the corps was heavily engaged. The 133rd Tank 

Brigade (separate), consisting of heavy KV-1 tanks, was often tasked with 

supporting the corps. While conducting operations in September and October 

1942 the corps lost most of its tanks. Beginning in November 1942 the corps 

received several mechanized brigades to make up for the losses. At this time the 

corps should have been designated a Mechanized Corps but, instead, retained its 

number “13.” Even Soviet sources offer conflicting views of what the corps was at 

this time. In December 1942 the corps fought with the 51st, 57th, and 2nd Guards 

Armies in the battles south of Stalingrad. On 9 January 1943, in recognition of its 

actions, the 13th Tank/Mechanized Corps was redesignated as the 4th Guards 

Mechanized Corps.

The 17th Guards Cavalry Regiment was formed in January 1923 as the 34th Cavalry 

Regiment, an element of the 3rd Cavalry Division. The 3rd Cavalry Division was formed from 

the 4th Cavalry Division of Russian Civil War fame. Like all Soviet cavalry units formed prior to 

1936, the 34th Cavalry Regiment was a non-Cossack unit, equipped as a standard Red Army 

unit. 

When the Germans attacked on 22 Jun 1941, the 3rd Cavalry Division was the only 

element of its Corps near the frontier. Fighting skillful delaying actions throughout the summer, 

the division managed to survive when nearly all of the mechanized and tank units in the Kiev 

district had been destroyed by the Germans. In August 1941, the division was able to rejoin the 

5th Cavalry Corps and fought under that headquarters until 25 Dec 1941, when 5th Cavalry 

Corps was redesignated as 3rd Guards Cavalry Corps and the 3rd Cavalry Division became the 

5th Guards Cavalry Division. The 34th Cavalry Regiment became the 17th Guards Cavalry 

Regiment on the same day. 

After acting as part of the exploitation force on the northern pincer of the Soviet 

attack on Kharkov in May 1942, the regiment fought a series of mobile defensive battles 

71

throughout June 1942. At the start of the German operation Fall Blau on 28 June 1942, the 

regiment was conducting defensive operations as part of the 28th Army with the 23rd Tank 

Corps in 28th Army 

reserve directly to their rear. At the time, 23rd Tank Corps was equipped with 9 KV-1, 38 T-34, 

3 M3 Lee, 38 M3 Stuart and 40 T-60. 

As 28th Army fell back and attempted to reform on the southern flank of the German 

penetration, 3rd Guard Cavalry Corps and 23rd Tank Corps conducted a mobile defense and 

launched local counterattacks to limit the extent of the penetration.

“There is no land for us behind the Volga” 

History by Paul Leuschen 

My Soviet Strelkovaya Battalion is based from the 1 st Battalion, 34 th Guards Rifle 

regiment of the 13 th Guards Rifle Division. This unit saw action from the invasion 

of Poland to the assault on Berlin. 

The 13 th Guards Rifle Division was originally designated the 87 th Rifle division in 

its pre-war status. Their first actions were against Polish forces during the opening 

days of World War II. After the division of Poland, they were shipped north, 

participating in the Winter War versus Finnish forces. Later, with the build up of 

defense forces prior prior to the German invasion of the Soviet 

Union, the 87 th Rifle Division found itself in the Ukraine attached 

to the 5 th Army, located in the area known as the, “Vladimir 

Volinsky fortified region.” It quickly saw action against Hitlerite 

forces in the opening days, and saw its originally commander 

Major General F.F. Alyabushev killed wihtin the first 3 days of the 

conflict. Remnants of the division were part of the Kiev 

encirclement, but luckily escaped. 

74

By November 6, 1941, the 87 th Rifle Division was reformed with elements of the 

5 th Airborne Corps and on January 19, 1942 redesignated the 13 th Guards Rifle 

Division commanded by Colonel Alexandir Rodimstev. 

The new Guards Division soon entered combat as part of the Kharkov offensive in 

May, 1942 along the northern axis. The unit was surrounded along with several 

other Soviet divisions and 

escaped only by conducting 

a night crossing in the face 

of swarming German forces. 

Rodimstev was promoted to 

Major General for this feat 

and the division moved east 

of the Volga for 

reconstruction. It was soon 

on the move, even before 

many of its replacements 

had arrived, to the defense 

of Stalingrad as a member of 

the 62 nd Army under Lt. 

Lt. General Chuikov is 2 nd from left and M. General 

Rodimstev is on far right 

The 13 th Guards were quickly pushed into combat 

assaulting across the Volga on the night of September 

15-16. Briefed by Chuikov on his orders to take and 

hold part of Stalingrad at all costs, Rodimstev 

answered, “I am a communist. I have no intention of 

abandoning the city.” With a wealth of city fighting 

experience garnered from the Spanish Civil War, he 

led his troops into a bloodbath that lasted several 

months. That day with no rest, the division swarmed 

up the slopes of Mamayev Kurgen Park overrunning 

the defending German infantry regiment. Of the 

reported 10,000 men in the division, over 3000 would 

be dead in the first 24hours of combat. 

General Chuikov. 

Chiukov himself hand picked and ordered Lt Anton Kuzmich Dragon of the 13 th 

Guards to carry out a vital if not suicidal mission, to hold the railroad station in 

75

downtown Stalingrad at all costs. Given these orders personally, Dagan, with a 

platoon of less then 50 men frustrated the Germans in a battle of room to room 

fighting over control of the depot that lasted three weeks. Breaking through walls, 

crawling over rafters and burrowing under the floor, Dagan’s troops would yield 

one portion of the depot only to counterattack in a different section. After weeks 

of heavy fighting, Dagan’s men were reduced to little ammunition and no food. 

Under the cover of darkness, Dagan and the 5 remaining soldiers in hid command 

slipped out of the building and rejoined their Russian comrades. One of the 

soldiers left the following carved into a wall at the Train depot, “Rodimstev’s 

Guardsmen fought and died for their country here.” 

For the next few months, the unit fought 

over Manayev Kurgen Park, the Red 

October Tractor Plant and Pavlov’s house, 

distinguishing itself to both allies and 

enemies alike. 

Some accounts say that of the 10,000 who 

marched into Stalingrad as part of the 13 th 

Guards, only 280-340 survived. 

After the trial of Stalingrad, the unit was quickly rebuilt and took part in the Battle 

of Kursk as a reserve in the Steppe quadrant as part of the 32 nd Guards Corps of the 

5 th Guard Army. The 5 th Guard Army and the 5 th Guard Tank Army were to be 

held in reserve and used after the German advance had stalled. Both formation 

were committed early on to help stem the German tide, and were involved in 4-5 

days of heavy fighting including the action around Prokhoroka. 

After Kursk, the 13 th Guards took part in the Kirovgrad operation in the Ukraine 

and liberated the city of Poltava. In recognition of this feat, the unit was often 

designated the 13 th Guards Rifle Division, Poltava, for the rest of the war. The end 

of the war saw the 13 th fighting on the Southern edges of Berlin, taking part in the 

crossing of the Teltov Canal. The unit probably made contact with American 

forces around Torgau in the last days of the fighting. 

Alexandir Rodimstev would go on to command the 32 nd Guard Corps for most of 

the war. He was awarded the Order of Bogdan Khelnitsky 1 st Class, 2 Orders of 

the Surorov 2 nd Class, an Order of Kutuzov 2 nd Class, an Order of Lenin, 3 Orders 

of the Red Banner and an Order of the Red Star for his actions in the war.

54 th 

24 th 

Tank Brigade 

Tank Corps 

By the end of 1942, the majority of the pre-war T-26s light tanks in use by 

the Russian army had been captured, destroyed, or replaced with more modern T-60s or 

T-70s. The 24th Tank Corp's, 54 th Brigade was one of the few exceptions that managed 

to remain relatively intact through the end of 1942. The 54 th Tank Brigade originated 

from the 28 th Mechanised Corp’s 54 th Tank Division and was founded in February – April 

1941. The core of the division was taken from the pre-war 17 th 

Light Tank Brigade as 

the unit formed up in the Transcaucasus Military District. The division was 

relatively well equipped for such a late-forming division receiving nearly its entire 

authorized complement of tanks. Despite this the division never saw combat as it 

served as a garrison in northern Iran. 

th 

In late April 1942, the 54 Tank Division was reorganized at Voroshilovgrad in 

the Kharkov Military District into the 54 th Tank Brigade and became part of 24 th Tank 

Corps. The 24 th Tank Corp remained in reserve as part of the 1 st Guards Army until 

mid December when, as part of Operation Little Saturn, they played a significant role 

in the ending phase of the Battle of Stalingrad. Operating as an independent Mobile 

Group, the 24 th broke deep into the German rear overrunning then Tatsinskaya airfield. 

The raid on Tatsinskaya broke the back of the Luftwaffe’s air relief flights into 

Stalingrad. The 24 th Tank Corp’s exploits in and around Tatsinkay earned it the 

honorific title: “Tatsinskaya” and redesignation as the 2 nd 

Guard Tank Corps. 

An interesting side note to the Tatsinskaya raid is that it is one of the 

documented cases of soviet tank ramming. When attacking enemy airfields, Soviet tankers 

frequently used ramming to destroy parked aircraft. After having driven for 240 kilometers 

th 

over five days, the tankers of the 24 Tank Corps had little ammunition left after days of 

constant fighting, and so resorted to ramming the German planes on the ground. Together, the 

1st Battalion of the 54th Tank Brigade commanded by Captain S. Strelkov and the 2nd Battalion 

of the 130th Tank Brigade commanded by Captain M. Nechaiev destroyed nearly 300 aircraft on 

the airfields themselves as well as a further 50 entrained at Tatzinskaja.

The Raid on Tatsinskya: December 24 - December 28, 1942 

“On the morning of December 24 th 

, Badanov's recon units moved southward and 

selected brigade attack positions outside of Tatsinskaya, which the tank brigades 

occupied at 0700 24 December. Heavy morning Fog covered the Soviet forward 

deployment and the German garrison, with its gun positions unmanned, was ill prepared 

to defend itself. At 0730, after a volley from Badanov's multiple rocket launchers 

struck German positions, the tank brigades attacked the town. The 54th Tank Brigade 

struck and seized the airfield south of town while the 130th TB passed through the 

town and attacked the other airfield from the east. 

Meanwhile, as the 4th TB attacked the village of Talovskii NW of Tatsinskaya, 

two of the brigade’s motorized rifle companies, marching from the north, were 

followed by a German column which had cut the road from Skosyrskaya to Tatsinskaya. 

Badanov immediately turned a battery of 76mm guns against the new threat and called 

for a tank battalion to strike the German force. Although the Germans withdrew it 

was clear that while Badanov had taken Tatsinskaya, the Germans had succeeded in 

cutting his withdrawal route north. 

From 24th to 28th December Badanov's troops held off German probing attacks as 

the Soviet fuel and ammo stocks dwindled. His tank Force, reduced down to the 

strength of 58 tanks (39 T-34, 19 T-26) from the original 159, was immobilized by the 

fuel shortages. Badanov created an all round defense anchored on his dug-in tanks and 

artillery, and waited for assistance. To maintain the limited mobility of his force, 

Badanov's forces mixed captured aviation fuel and lubricants to fuel his tanks. 

Despite his defensive measures, on 27th December the German noose tightened around 

his corps as the 110th and 111th Panzer Grenadier Regiments took Dyakonov and Group 

Philipp took the airfield and drove Badanov's forces into the city proper. Finally, 

with the German noose tightening around Badanov's corps, on the night of 28th 

December Vatutin gave Badanov permission to abandon Tatsinskaya. Covered by the last 

volley from his last multiple rocket launchers, the newly minted 2nd Guards Tank 

Corps broke out in the direction of I'linka losing much of their remaining equipment 

in the process.” 

The Tatsinskaya Raid and Flames of War: 

The Following Flames of War mixed tankovy lists represent elements of the 54 th 

Brigade as they took part in the raid on Tatsinskaya. I’ve had the T-26 Battalion 

for several years now and Wolfkrieg 2010 was a perfect excuse to finally assemble 

them. Learning about the Tatsinskaya raid was an added benefit.

History – 277 th Rifle Division, 21 st 

Army 

Lawrence J. Nicastro 

Early November 1942 - in hushed conversations, officer after officer asked the same 

question – Why is every commanding officer of every regiment and battalion all gathered 

in one room? Fear mingled with curiosity in the voices of the officers as they quietly 

pondered their fate. Suddenly, to a man, the entire room snapped to attention as the 

Division commander, followed by the Division Commissar, entered the room. 

Tovarish Commanders…welcome! Our Division commander has asked me to say a few 

words before the briefing. We are approaching the second winter since the Hitlerites 

invaded our country. We have been pushed back….and the barbarian invaders have 

raped our land, stolen food from our children, and killed our comrades just to satisfy their 

blood lust. In a few days, November 19 th 

to be exact, that will all change. You are part 

of a massive buildup which will ram into the enemy where he is weakest and drive him 

from the motherland once and for all. 

Comrades, failure will be dealt with harshly – so listen well and make the enemy pay for 

his aggression. Always remember, that if we fail here, our comrades living under the 

heel of the oppressor will have to suffer that much longer. Now our Comrade 

commander will brief us on the specifics….Za Stalina…Za Rodinu….. 

Many Russian formations, to include divisions and army headquarters, were destroyed 

and rebuilt during the Great Patriotic War – which is what the Russians called World War 

II. The 277 th Rifle Division was no exception. The division was originally raised in 

August, 1941 and destroyed the following month. The division was again raised in 

January 1943 and subsequently fought at Stalingrad as part of the 21 st Army, and ended 

the war attached to the 5 th 

Army. 

Stalingrad – the Battle 

The battle of Stalingrad had been a bloody, house to house, street to street, sewer to 

sewer battle from July through November 1942. Both the Germans and the Russians 

were losing men at an unsustainable rate, but November 19 th was to change all that. 

83

The Russians hurled over 1,000,000 men, over 800 tanks, and over 13,000 artillery pieces 

at the enemy forces. But this time it was different – the Russians hit the Hungarians, 

Italians, and Romanians – all of which were not as well equipped as the German front 

line units fighting in and around the city proper. 

The German forces were quickly encircled, but the end did not come quickly. Bitter 

fighting continued through February, with remnants who refused the surrender continuing 

to hold out until March 1943. In the end, it was a disaster for the Axis forces for which 

they really could not recover. Axis losses were between 850,000 and 1.5 million. The 

Italian army in Russia ceased to exist, and the Hungarian and Romanian armies were also 

virtually destroyed. Russian losses (dead, wounded, and missing) also totaled over 1.1 

million. The German army was pushed back, with Stalingrad being both the high water 

mark and the beginning of the end of the German army in Russia. 

KV 1 Tank 

The KV 1 s – a lighter more reliable version of the KV 1, was used at Stalingrad. By 

Krusk, the KV 1 and variants had fallen from favor and the whole concept of Russian 

heavy tanks was under review.

4 th 

Kuban Guard Cossack Regiment 

By 

Mike Pfanenstiel 

Most Cossack regiments were named for the area that they lived in. The Kuban Cossack 

came into being when many Don Cossacks face direct Russian rule and moved east to the 

Kuban River near Caucasus under the protection of the Turks in the 1600’s. 

The 12th Cavalry Division had the honorific title of “Kuban Cossack Division”, it was 

formed in January 1942 at Krasnodor as part of the 17th Cavalry Corps under the 

command of general Nikolay Kirichenko. It first saw combat in June 1942. It became the 

9th Guard Cavalry Division in August 1942 and the Corps became the 4th Guard Cavalry 

Corps. The 12 th Cavalry Division consisted of the 4 th , 19 th and 23 rd 

Kuban Cossack 

Cavalry Regiment. 

During the opening phase of the Battle of Stalingrad, when the Germans overran the 

Kuban, the majority of the Cossack population, long before the Germans began their 

agitation with Krasnov and Shkuro, became involved in Partisan activity. Raids on the 

German positions in the Caucasus mountains became commonplace. After the German 

defeat at Stalingrad, the 4th Guards Kuban Cossack Corps, strengthened by tanks and 

artillery, broke through the German lines and liberated Mineralnye Vody, and Stavropol. 

For the latter part of the war, although the Cossacks did prove especially useful in 

reconnaissance and rear guards, the war showed that the age of horse cavalry had come to 

an end. The famous IVth Guards Kuban Cossack Regiment which took part in heavy 

fighting in the course of the liberation of Southern Ukraine and Romania was allowed to 

proudly march on the Red Square in the famous Victory parade of 1945.

“MAY WE ALL BE HEROES DEFENDING STALINGRAD!” 

1 st BATTALION, 42 nd REGIMENT, 13 th GUARDS RIFLE DIVISION 

by 

Mike Pike 

September 14, 1942. The situation was desperate for the Soviet defenders of Stalingrad. The 

Soviets needed to buy time to shore up their defense. The task fell to the newly arrived 13 th 

Guards Rifle Division. General Major Alexander Rodimtsev, Commander of the 13 th , and the 

Commander of the Soviet 62 nd Army, Vasily Chuikov, devised a daring plan. After night-fall, 

they would send a reinforced Battalion through the City to recapture the Central Railway Station. 

The plan was to provoke the Germans and thereby tie up 

as many troops as possible in their inevitable counterattack. 

This task fell to Lieutenant Chervyakov’s 1 st 

Battalion, 42 nd Rifle Regiment, 13 th Guards Rifle 

Division. The Guardsmen’s attack on the Central 

Railway Station in the early morning hours of September 

15 th was a success. In savage fighting, the Soviets were 

able to beat off numerous German counter-attacks. The 

evening of the 15 th , the German Luftwaffe bombed the 

Central Railway Station setting it ablaze. Many 

Guardsmen were killed and the survivors abandoned the Railway Station. The close quarter 

fighting continued on the railway platforms and in the rail yards. The Battalion fell back to the 

Nail Factory where fighting was workshop to workshop. On the 17 th , Chervyakov was severely 

wounded leaving Deputy Commander Lt. Feodseyev in charge of the defense. The 1 st Battalion’s 

situation report for the 20th concluded with the statement “MAY WE ALL BE HEROES 

DEFENDING STALINGRAD!” On the 22 nd, Feodseyev moved his command post to the 

basement of the Univermag department store. Lt. Anton Dragan was left in command of the 

Guardsmen holding the Nail Factory. The Germans closed in from three sides over running the 

Battalion HQ. With Feodseyev killed, the 

command of the Battalion fell to Dragan. 

With the last 100 Guardsmen of the 

Battalion, Dragan was surrounded in the Nail 

Factory. That night, Dragan’s men broke out 

of the Nail Factory and made their way to a 

ruined house on Krasnopiterskaya Street on 

the Volga embankment. Only 40 

Guardsmen reached this final stongpoint. 

Dragan’s men held this house for 5 days. 

Reduced to only 12 men, Dragan’s 

Guardsmen threw stones and fired off their 

last ammunition. Resolved to fight to the 

death one of the Guardsmen took his bayonet 

and carved a fitting epitaph on a wall 

“Rodimtsev’s Guardsmen fought and died for their country here”. Concentrated fire from 

German tanks finally collapsed the building. After darkness fell, Dragan and the last 5 survivors 

of the 1 st Battalion clawed their way out of the rubble. These 6 wounded men were all that 

returned to the Soviet lines. The sacrifice of the 1 st Battalion, 42 nd Regiment, 13 th Guards Rifle 

Division was not in vain. The Soviet’s were able to hold the City by the narrowest of margins. 

Two months later, the Red Army launched a massive counter-attack which encircled and crushed 

the German 6 th Army.

Stalingrad, Oct 1942 

138 th Rifle Division, 62 nd Soviet Army, Stalingrad 1942 

The 138 th Infantry Division was formed at Leninkan (today, Gyumri, Armenia) 

in the Transcaucus Military District in 1939 and fought in the Winter War 

against Finland. The Division was destroyed at Ketch in May of 1942 and 

reformed the same month. Transferred to the Stalingrad District, the 

Division joined the 62 nd Army under Chuikov in mid October, 1942. The 62 nd 

Army was tasked with defending Stalingrad to the last man and enforcing 

the famous “Not one step back” order #227 by Stalin. Col. I Lyudnikov , 

commanding the 138 th ID, (see left photo) moved his troops (344 th , 650 th and 

768 th rifle Regiments supported by the 285 th Artillery Regiment) into the area 

north and east of the Krasnaya Barrikady factory on October 16, 1942 just 

prior to a major German assault on the Red October Factory District. 

The German assault over the next week saw massive casualties on both sides as the German Sixth Army 

under Paulus and the Russian 62 nd Army under Chuikov mauled each other in the ruins of Stalingrad. 

Major actions in the Red October District, Central Stalingrad and Mamayev Kurgen took place 

repeatedly for the same positions as they changed hands back and forth. Instrumental in the Red 

October Factory District defense, the 138 th Infantry held the Chemist Shop (White House) and the 

Commisioner’s House (Red House) against repeated German combined arms attacks. The relentless 

German assaults pushed the 62 nd army into a smaller and smaller portion of land along the Volga. 

Russian supplies were ferried across the Volga at night and wounded back to safety. The skies over 

Stalingrad during the day were not controlled by either side. Only 1 in 10 of the original members of the 

138 th Infantry Division survived the month of combat in the ruins of Stalingrad unscathed. (see map) 

Operation Hubertus in early November was the last major attempt by the Germans to oust the 62 

Lyudnikov’s Island 

nd Red 

Army from Stalingrad. An assault on November 11 th crushed the Russian 95 th and 308 th Infantry 

Divisions on the left flank of the 138 th . Col. Lyudnikov and the remnants were completely isolated from 

the 62 nd army in a narrow corridor approximately 400 yards by 100 yards along the Volga just east of the 

Red October factory. Continued German assaults pushed 

the 138 th , 308 th and 244 th remnants into an area known as 

“Lyudnikov’s Island”. (see right photo) Chuikov 

repetitively called and assured Lyudnikov that help was 

forthcoming. Chuikov had no help to send and the signals 

were pure bluff for the Germans to hear. The survivors 

were supplied by Soviet U-2 biplanes dropping bags of food 

and ammunition into the small pocket. Most of the 

supplies fell to the Germans. The defender’s slogan was 

“There is no ground on the other side of the Volga”. Soviet 

Artillery across the Volga was a major defensive asset. The pocket of the 138 th survivors defended the 

last bastion held by the Russians in the Red October District. The Germans were unable to budge the 

Soviets from Lyudnikov’s Island and were forced to break off the attacks when the Soviet Operation 

Uranus broke through Axis lines both north and south of Stalingrad.

138 th Rifle Division, 62 nd Soviet Army, Stalingrad 1942 

Soviet infantry advances at Stalingrad, 1942 

The 138 th remained in the Stalingrad area over the winter months and successfully removed the 

Germans from their dugouts and strongpoints until the surrender of the German 6 th Army. (see photos 

above) The 138 th was designated the 70 th Guards Rifle Division and fought at Kursk, Lvov and Prague. 

The unit was one of the most decorated units in the Soviet Army with 2 Orders of the Red Banner and 

Orders of Suvuorov, Kutuzov and Khmelnitsky. Col. Lyudnikov was promoted and decorated later 

commanding the 39 th army at Vitebsk. As a side note….Nikita Khruschev was a political officer in the 

62 nd Army.

OPERATION URANUS, November 1942 

By November of 1942 the 6 th Germany Army stood on the brink of success 

in seizing the Soviet city of Stalingrad. Unfortunately, in order for the 

Germans to achieve the mass of combat power necessary to feed the fight 

within the city the Germans thinned their lines to the north and south of the 

fighting, replacing German Units with allies. Unfortunately, their Romanian 

allies did not have the same amount of anti-armor, fire support, and mobile 

reserves as the Germans. The Soviets recognized this weakness and the 

opportunity it provided in September when Marshal Zhukov and General 

Vasilevskiy visited the front. They returned to Moscow, briefed Stalin, and 

he approved the operation named URANUS. The balance of the Southwest Front’s 

combat power would rupture the

65 th 

5th Guards Heavy Tank Regiment 

The 5th Guards Heavy Tank Regiment was formed in October 

1942, and equipped with the new KV-1s in order to support 

Operation Uranus. The vehicle incorporated a turret that was 

lighter than before and received alterations to the road wheels, 

drive train and hull. It shed 15mm of hull thickness and 

improved the commander’s position and fighting compartment. 

It was lighter and faster than the previous KV-1s, but sacrificed 

some protection. 5th Guards Heavy Tank Regiment supported 

65th Army, specifically the three Guards Rifle Divisions 

throughout the destruction of the German 6th Army. The 

97 

Regiment distinguishing itself near Kazachiy Kurgan northwest 

of Stalingrad in December 1942. 

Romanian Third Army’s lines and exploit 

into 6 th Army’s rear crossing the Don 

and Chir Rivers. 65 th Army was the left 

flank of the Southwest Front’s attack. 

The 65 th Army attacked four German 

divisions and turned south providing the 

pivot for the rest of the Front’s forces 

and denying the Germans the 

opportunity to rejoin the Romanians to 

their north. 

65 th Army’s attack was lead by the 4 th , 

27 th and 40 th Guards Rifle Divisions. I 

have used the 27 th Guards Rifle 

Division as my unit, as they were still 

on active duty in East Germany through 

the fall of the Berlin Wall. 5 th Guards 

Heavy Tank Regiment supported 27 th 

and 4 th Guards Rifle Divisions during 

Operation Uranus.

Once encircled, 65 th Army became the Don Front’s main effort as they began the destruction 

of the German 6 th Army. 65 th Army attacked from the northwest to the southeast toward 

Karpovskaya Station. Again 27 th Guards Rifle Division lead the way along with 4 th Guards 

Rifle Division. The 27 th Guards Rifle Division distinguished itself in heavy fighting in and 

around the Karpovka Station versus some of the last mobile assets of the XIV Panzer 

Corps.
