The 193rd Tank Division was originally a Red Army infantry division that was reorganised after World War II as a mechanised and then a tank division of the Soviet Army. == 1st Formation == The original 193rd Rifle Division was established in the Kharkov Military District on March 14, 1941. By June 22 it was still forming near Kamenka in the Kiev Military District and its order of battle was as follows: * 685th Rifle Regiment * 883rd Rifle Regiment * 895th Rifle Regiment * 384th Light Artillery Regiment * 393rd Howitzer Regiment * 50th Antitank Battalion * 4th Sapper Battalion〔(Niehorster: Soviet Rifle Divisions Nos.150-199 ), accessed February 2008〕〔Charles S. Sharp, ''"Red Legions", Soviet Rifle Divisions Formed Before June 1942, Soviet Order of Battle World War II, Vol. VIII'', Nafziger, 1996, p 93〕 The division, commanded by Colonel A.K. Berestov, joined with the 195th and 200th Rifle Divisions to form the 31st Rifle Corps. At the onset of the German invasion this corps was under direct command of the Kiev Special Military District, soon renamed Southwestern Front, and was positioned in the second echelon southeast of Sarny.〔Artem Drabkin and Alexei Isaev, ''Barbarossa Through Soviet Eyes'', trans. C. Summerville, Pen & Sword Books, Ltd., Barnsley, UK, 2012, pp xiii, 178〕 On June 28 the Corps was assigned to 5th Army and the 193rd went into battle at Rozhits and Kivertsy. By July 8 it was down to 3,500 men and less than 35 guns and mortars of all types. On August 19, as 5th Army began its retreat, the division had only 600 men remaining; the following week it took in reservists and volunteers to a total of 4,500 men, but was almost completely lacking heavy weapons. In September the 193rd was surrounded with 5th Army in the Kiev Pocket and destroyed. The division's number was officially stricken from the Soviet order of battle on Dec. 27.〔Sharp, ''"Red Legions"'', p 93〕 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「193rd Tank Division」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
