75th Red Banner Rifle Division (I f).
From a footnote in the List: « 75 sd (I f). In the Guide of the TsGASA ”(T. 2. S. 176-177) ist. no reference. There are no documents in the RGVA of the fund. (Ibid., p. 191). Sat. orders were not awarded. East reference (TsAMO): formed in the ZapoVO to Vel. Fatherland Wars; awards section is empty. The published history of the KVO reports: a number of compounds, incl. and 75th SD, in 1935-1936. awarded an order. Cr. Banner (Kyiv Red Banner. M., 1974. P. 122). Because the commission could not verify this fact according to arch. documents of higher authorities, it was decided to take information from lit. source."

The published history of the QUO is not a reliable source! I quote: "Personnel of the 15th, 24th, 44th, 45th, 46th, 51st, 75th, 80th and 96th rifle, 1st and 14th cavalry divisions in 1931-1935 did not have gross violations of military discipline. For success in combat and political training of the 1st, 45th, 51st, 80th and 96th divisions in 1935-1936. were awarded the Order of Lenin by the Soviet government, and the rest of the named formations - the Order of the Red Banner.
Anyone who has even the slightest study of the history of these divisions will immediately understand that such a source cannot be trusted. What is worth only awarding the Order of Lenin 96 sd, 45 sd. This is fiction!
It is strange that the notorious commission did not find documents of the 75th rifle division in the RGVA and took at face value the award of the Order of the Red Banner of the 75th rifle division. In reality, the 75th Rifle Division was not awarded the Order of the Red Banner and was not called the Red Banner.
Yes, there is no separate fund for the 75th division in the RGVA, but there are documents in other funds. The commission was too lazy to reach them apparently.
In the RGVA for 75 sd there is: f. 34912, op. 1, d. 43. Historical form of the 75th Infantry Division (October 1, 1926 - August 29, 1940). On 25 sheets.
There are also forms of her regiments and individual battalions.

Here, at the local cemetery, there is a mass grave of the soldiers of the 115th Infantry Regiment, who during June 22, 1941 held back the onslaught of German troops rushing to Malorita. There are no names on the monument, only poems by Robert Rozhdestvensky.

Brest district of the village of Stradech, where on June 22 the 3rd battalion, the sapper and economic companies of the 115th rifle regiment took a heavy battle in the first hours of the war. Now there is no more railway station Koden, where the soldiers of the battalion fought to the last soldier. Behind our backs, 2 kilometers away, is the Bug River, the state border. Parts of the XXIV motorized corps of the Wehrmacht tried to pass along this road. On the railway crossing there was a bunker, here we honored the memory of the fallen soldiers.

Among us, the majority were families whose fathers and grandfathers fought in the 28th Red Banner Rifle Regiment. Arriving in the area of ​​the village of Chersk, where the regiment's camp was located, Valery Mikhailovich - the son and Vadim Valeryevich - the grandson of the commander of a machine-gun platoon, Lieutenant Mikhail Nikolaevich Esakov, collected Brest land to take them to their homeland. It is difficult to describe the feelings that each of us experienced when a son who had never seen his father called him in the forest: "Father, dad ...". Everyone was silent, it was raining, everyone thought about his own.
We were bound by an inexplicable kindred feeling. And also a feeling of infinite gratitude for the fact that our fathers and grandfathers defended our country, did not let it perish. It becomes clear that human life does not end with death. It continues in his descendants. And this trip is that small tribute that we can bring to our relatives today.

Our first meeting was over. There are tears in everyone's eyes... And the feeling that visited each of us - ​was waiting for us here! There are fresh wreaths and fresh flowers on the mass graves.

Levashev to the Main Directorate of the NKVD Troops of the USSR for the protection of railway structures and especially important industrial enterprises and the Political Propaganda Department of the NKVD troops of the USSR on combat activities and political and moral condition of division units for the period from June 22 to July 15, 1941.
Subdivisions of parts 10th division began to retreat from the state border along the railway lines with the rearguards of the Red Army.
The garrisons left their facilities according to the order of the command of the division and regiments. And only after the sappers occupied the bridges, mined them and blew them up according to the plan of the command of the Army in the Field.
Units of the 66th regiment were drawn to Lvov, 75th regiment - to Stry and the 77th regiment - to Stanislav.
Communication with the 64th regiment ceased from the very beginning of the war, and to this day it is not possible to establish its condition and position.
All regiments began to withdraw on the order of the command of the Army in the Field, the 66th regiment set out from Lvov on June 28, 1941 through the Sikhuv station in the direction of Tarnopol. The regiment moved along the route Sikhuv-Bobrky-Brezzhany-Tarnopol-Podvolochisk-Yarmolintsy.
The regiment arrived in Yarmolintsy on July 6 and from there went to Vinnitsa. On the move, the regiment had to turn away from the highway and along country roads bypass Brezzany, which was burning from enemy bombing, Tarnopol, occupied by the enemy, and also Podvolochisk, near which the bridge was blown up.
The 75th regiment retreated in battalions.
The first battalion moved from Khodorov through Ternopil and Husyatin, then Yarmolintsy and Vinnitsa.
The second battalion - 3rd, 4th, 5th and 7th companies - departed along the route Stryi - Balekhov - Dolina - Kaluga.
On June 28, the regimental headquarters with an armored train base and a convoy left for Khodorov and departed from there with the first battalion.
The regiment commander received an order from the corps commander operating in the Stryi direction to set out with the regiment on the night of June 30, 1941 to July 1, 1941 and, together with the 94th border detachment, cover the retreat of the corps along the Balekhov - Dolina - Kaluga route as a rearguard.
Without fighting, the withdrawal was made to Kaluga, where the task of covering the units of the Red Army from the regiment was removed.
Having directed the convoy along the highway and country roads, regiment (mainly 2nd battalion) from Kaluga moved by rail to Stanislav-Chertkov-Gusyatin in separate trains filled with cargo and units of the Red Army.
At the tail of the train column was walking armored train of the 75th regiment and from Stanislav - the 77th regiment.
During the retreat, the latter destroyed with artillery fire everything that the sappers had not blown up from the railway structures and the goods that had not been taken out.
On July 6, Gusyatin was occupied by the advanced units of the enemy, who also made a breakthrough for 81 km between Chertkovo and Gusyatin with one motorized column. The echelons were broken up and retreated, heading further in marching order through Zbruch to the villages of Litava - Dunaevtsy - Bar - Balen station - Vinnitsa. The regiment arrived in Vinnitsa on July 12.
The 77th regiment from Stanislav began to withdraw on July 3, loading weapons and equipment onto carts, vehicles, and into the wagons of the armored train base. Separate garrisons, lagging behind their regiment, joined the 75th regiment, which arrived in Stanislav on the evening of July 3, the regiment arrived in Vinnitsa on July 12.
The division command left Lvov on June 28 for Stanislav, from there it moved to Chertkov, then to Yarmolintsy, and finally, on July 6, settled in Vinnitsa.
The participation of units in hostilities consisted primarily in the fact that they were included in active army and as a rearguard they covered the retreat of the Red Army units. Separate units located at facilities adjacent to the border retreated in combat together with the border guards.
In particular, from the Hungarian border on June 27 from 20.00 departed under fire 5th company of the 75th regiment together with the Lavochnyanskaya border commandant's office. The commander of the 5th company, Senior Lieutenant Kostanenko, skillfully misled the enemy by changing the location of his firing points before opening fire from the Hungarian side. The enemy opened fire from heavy machine guns at our old firing points, the location of which he obviously knew.
The 75th regiment took part in the battle with the Germans near Gusyatin, which the enemy occupied on July 6, thus cutting off the advance of our echelons moving from Chertkov. At the head of the train column were the 3rd, 4th and 5th companies, which did not reach Gusyatin. A combined fighter detachment of 35 people was allocated from them, headed by Senior Lieutenant Kostanenko. This detachment united with the 76th railway battalion of the Red Army and, under the general command of the commander of the latter, Major Smirnov, tried to clear the railway from the Germans.

On the same day, the enemy motorized units made a breakthrough for 81 km between Gusyatin and Chertkovo, where they moved 7th company of the 75th regiment,armored train 75th and the 77th regiments and the base of the latter.
The 7th company also moved away from the railway line towards the river. Zbruch under the command of junior lieutenant Lesnyak, having no losses, and armored trains under the command of senior lieutenant Meshkov (75th regiment) and senior lieutenant Turganov (77th regiment) fired artillery and machine-gun fire at the Germans on the evening of 6 and on the night of July 7.
Under enemy fire teams of the armored train of the 75th and the bases of the armored train of the 77th regiment moved away from the railway line, abandoning their trains, and headed to our rear. The fate of the armored train of the 77th regiment is not yet known and is being clarified through the reconnaissance of three people sent there by the division ...

Proskurov, were sent by the head of the echelon to reconnoiter the route. Mosikov and Samsonov discovered two fascist saboteurs who spoiled the path, destroyed them and restored the path.

military paramedic 5th company of the 75th regiment I. I. Akimov, a candidate [member] of the CPSU (b), received an order, when leaving the Hungarian border, to send one fighter into the tunnel to destroy communications. In order to solve this combat mission as soon as possible, Akimov decided to carry it out himself. Under machine-gun and artillery fire of the enemy, he destroyed the connection, while he was wounded by a shell fragment in the head. Departing for the garrison, he was again wounded by two bullets in the arm and leg. Akimov was sent from Stryi to the Kyiv hospital.
Machine gunner Vlasov, a member of the Komsomol, during the withdrawal garrison 79 km of the 75th regiment from the Hungarian border remained in place and covered the withdrawal of the unit with the fire of his machine gun. When all the people left the enemy shelling, Vlasov took out his machine gun and ammunition and joined the garrison. Thanks to the skillful leadership of the secretary of the party organization of the company, comrade. Burtsev, with the withdrawal of this garrison, good camouflage and crawling, the personnel withdrew without loss. Only military assistant Akimov was wounded.
Despite the long march in difficult conditions, the lack of involvement of people in campaigns, abrasions of the legs, the mood of the personnel was cheerful. 3rd, 4th, 5th and 7th companies of the 75th regiment passed more than 450 km in 12 days and did not have lagging behind, they were always ready to perform a combat mission.
The Red Army machine gunners Ilyushenko, Golovin, Rybkin carried their machine guns all the way and did not want to hand them over to anyone.
The Red Army soldier Kapitanov, a member of the Komsomol, rubbed his legs to the blood, but walked without lagging behind, without any complaints, until he was ordered to sit on the wagon. Many Red Army soldiers from the Hungarian border itself carried 350 ammunition in knapsacks and several grenades. The Red Army soldiers of the auto platoons kept their vehicles, not abandoning them at the time of the enemy air raid.

Driver Gvozdev, a member of the Komsomol, was wounded by a shell fragment in the leg, and driver Golubev's car was wrecked. The latter boarded Gvozdev's car and took it out of the shelling. The motor of the leading car went bad, the driver Valeev got out of the car, repaired the damage under enemy fire and thereby ensured the advance of the entire motorcade.

This drawing is interesting in itself. The German battle painter depicted a combat path in the figure
267th infantry division of the Wehrmacht. There are also Gomel and Zhlobin, but I'm interested in two settlements located on the border - Malorita and Melniki.
Here in June 1941 fought, and how the 75th Infantry Division fought. In a previous post dedicated to these events, I already provided some of the information. Now I will add.
"The 75th rifle division, consisting of the 115th, 28th and 34th regiments, was formed in 1927. The command and political staff was separated from the 25th rifle division named after V.I. Chapaev. Upon formation, the 75th division was part of the composition of the Kyiv, and then the Leningrad military district.She took an active part in the war with the White Finns.In May 1941, the division was advanced to the new western borders in the Brest region and became part of the 28th Rifle Corps of the 4th Army.Parts of the division concentrated along the Zapadny Bug River. The regiments occupied defense sectors south of the Brest fortified area. The 34th Infantry Regiment (regiment commander Major Bardeev) was located in the area of ​​the village of Mednaya, Lake Rogoznoye. The 28th Infantry Regiment (regiment commander Major D.S. Bondarenko) was located at the junction with the Kyiv Special Military District on the left flank of the 4th Army.The 115th Infantry Regiment (regiment commander Major A.N. Lobanov) was located in the second echelon in the area east of Malorita in the forest. special forces d ivizii were located in Malorita. At that time, the division was commanded by Major General S. I. Nedvigin, the chief of staff was Colonel Ya. A. Martynenko, and the chief of artillery D. Ya. Seleznev. The division was intensively engaged in combat and political training, the construction of defensive field positions near the border along the river. Western Bug, maintaining constant combat readiness. On June 22-23, the regiments of the division put up fierce resistance to the enemy. I. S. Tkachenko writes: “At that time I happened to be in the defense area of ​​the 115th regiment. The enemy marched in full-length columns, tanks with submachine gunners, infantry and cavalry were in front. The commander of the regiment, Comrade A. Lobanov, gave the order to the commander of the regimental artillery to open fire on enemy tanks. Two tanks immediately caught fire, one armored car, the third tank hit a mined section of the road and was blown up. The enemy continued to advance and, preparing to go on the attack, opened indiscriminate firing from machine guns. The cavalry units of the Nazis went around the right flank of the regiment's defense. Captain Korchma, commander of the 2nd Infantry Battalion, which was defending on the right flank, seeing the movement of the Nazi cavalry, quickly reorganized the battalion's battle formation, pulled two anti-aircraft twin installations to the front line and pushed them to the flank of the enemy cavalrymen, then, letting them in at 200 - 250 m, opened mortar, machine-gun and rifle fire on the column. At the same time, anti-aircraft twin machine-gun installations opened fire. The enemy column, suffering heavy losses, rushed about and stopped moving forward. The 1st battalion of the regiment also operated successfully. The enemy was stopped on the entire sector of the regiment's defense. Taking advantage of the situation, the regiment commander, Major A.N. Lobanov, quickly transferred the 3rd battalion from the left flank to the right and counterattacked the Nazis under the cover of strong mortar and machine-gun fire. From an unexpected flank attack, the Nazis began to retreat. However, in the sectors of other regiments, after a three-hour battle, resistance was broken, and they began a slow retreat to the area where the command post of the division was located. Stubbornly defending its sector, repeatedly turning into counterattacks, the division held its main positions until July 26. By this time, ammunition had been used up and, with a few exceptions, artillery had been lost. The connection was surrounded. I. S. Tkachenko said: “On the night of June 26-27, the division was completely surrounded. The division commander, General Nedvigin, after consulting with the staff of the headquarters and the political department, decided to break through the enemy's barrier, go to the Kovel road and connect with the rest of the 4th Army. For this purpose, intelligence was sent to reconnoiter the breakthrough site. Captain Yaryshkin was assigned to reconnaissance with a company of the 115th Infantry Regiment. While performing this task, he was wounded. Yaryshkin was replaced by Captain Lyutin, who reported through a messenger that the Brest-Kovel road was occupied by the enemy. By the middle of the day, a group of scouts returned and brought the seriously wounded Lyutin. The enemy stepped up the offensive, firing artillery and mortars. The command of the division decided after dark to go to Kobrin along the Kovel road to join the 4th Army. The breakthrough plan was as follows: the division commander, General Nedvigin, with the right group, was to break through Mokrany. I led the middle group going in the direction of the lake. Lukovo, division chief of staff Martynenko - left group. In more difficult conditions middle group; the enemy dug in in this area immediately began to mow down our ranks with fire of all kinds. True, the mortar fire of the Nazis fell on the swamp, many mines fell deep into the muddy soil, camouflaged, which reduced our losses. In the zone of destruction by automatic and rifle fire between the attacking Red Army soldiers and the Nazis, a fierce battle ensued, reaching hand-to-hand combat. The enemy stubbornly defended, but could not withstand our onslaught and began to retreat, leaving weapons and the dead. A gap formed, through it we went to the area of ​​the lake. Lukovo. The left group, led by Martynenko, with heavy fighting also broke through the Kovel road and approached the lake. Lukovo. Here both groups united and began to fight their way in the direction of Kobrin, but, having met strong enemy resistance in front of Kobrin, they retreated in the direction of Pinsk. On June 29, the enemy again began to pursue us. Having heavy losses, carrying the wounded in our arms, almost without ammunition, we could not break through to the main forces on Pinsk. Only a few units went there. After consulting, we decided to withdraw in the direction of the city of Sarny. During the withdrawal, we were joined by individual fighters and units of the 6th and 42nd rifle divisions, groups of tankers, soldiers of aviation units. July 2, we went to st. Sarny, and by order of the army headquarters, plunged into the echelon and left for the Pinsk region, where they took up defense. "

It was a complete surprise for me to learn that in the Brest Fortress, in the Museum of Defense, the banner of the 28th joint venture (Vyshnevolotsky rifle regiment) of the 75th rifle division, found on December 24, 1960, by a resident of the village of Zamshany, Maloritsky district 3. 3. Tarasyuk in the forest, under wild apple roots. Regarding the banner, also associated with this regiment, there is interesting episode. Memoirs of a soldier of the 75th division.
".... Two days of continuous questions one by one. We were always threatened with execution in front of the ranks, "for betrayal and desertion." This could happen ... and everything would have ended so shamefully for us.
The most offensive thing was that they did not want to believe us, not a single word. But our "conflict with special officers" was resolved by a foreman from the 28th regiment. For two days he tried to explain what happened to him and his comrades, that the Germans broke through the defenses and “saddled” all the roads, but in response he only heard promises that they would put him “a bastard, like a reptile and a traitor, against the wall, even today ". Then, during the interrogation, he silently took off his tunic and undershirt, and it turned out that his body was wrapped in the banner of the regiment ... The attitude towards us instantly changed. We were released from custody, fed well, given shag, dry rations, but our weapons were not returned to us. We were told - "Go to the station, there will be a turntable soon, several cars are going to Sarny, there is now the headquarters of your 75th SD." .."

In general, you can write books and make films about this division. Of course, the battles with ours were not fought alone 267 infantry division Wehrmacht, was there and 53 corps and other formations. But only probably in 267 there were photographers capturing the consequences of the battles. They gave the exact name to the pictures "After the bloodbath near Melniki" Washed them .. washed them properly "!!!
