The 108th Nevelskaya Motor Rifle Division, abbreviated as the "108th MRD," was a unit of the Soviet Ground Forces. It was the successor to the 360th Rifle Division Nevelskaya, which was formed during the Second World War. The division was created on August 14, 1941 by the State Defence Committee and the Volga Military District Commander, Vasilii Gerasimenko, at the Volga Military District in Chkalov (now Orenburg).〔tashv.nm.ru, (Combat composition of the Soviet Army, September 1, 1941 ), accessed October 2011〕 ==1941-1945== On December 1, 1941, the 360th Rifle Division became part of the 60th Army.〔tashv.nm.ru, Combat composition of the Soviet Army December 1, 1941.〕 It launched an offensive on the Velizh on January 29, 1942. In the battle for Great Luke, which lasted from December 24, 1942 to January 14, 1943, units of the division destroyed 23 guns, 72 machine guns, 5 mortars, 30 vehicles, 81 tanks, 4 aircraft, and 7,000 enemy soldiers—securing a USSR victory. On April 1, 1942, the division was incorporated into the 4th Shock Army, Kalinin Front.〔tashv.nm.ru, BSSA April 1, 1942〕 Until August 1943, the division operated with both the 3rd and 4th Shock Armies. On December 1, 1944, the division was incorporated into the 83rd Rifle Corps, 4th Shock Army, 1st Baltic Front. It fought at Nevel, Belorussia and Kurland with the 1st Shock Army of the Kurland Group (Leningrad Front) in May 1945. From then until October 1945 the division was posted on the Leningrad Front and the Baltic Military District. In October, the division was relocated by railway to the Turkestan Military District in the city of Termez. Arriving there at the start of November 1945, the whole division was housed in military camps for combat and political training until the end of the year. In November and December, new units were created. By September-October 1945, the 360th Rifle Division (Military Unit No. 11090) was part of the 119th Rifle Corps with its headquarters at Stalinbad (now Dushanbe).〔Feskov et al 2013, 357.〕 By May 1949 it had shifted into the 17th Rifle Corps. In April 1955 the 360th Rifle Division was redesignated the 62nd Rifle Division.〔Feskov et al 2013, 538.〕 In May 1957 the 62nd Rifle Division became the 108th Motor Rifle Division. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「108th Motor Rifle Division」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
