History:
Istra,    Russia,     11 December  1941:  As the drive on Moscow slowed due to supply problems
and "Gerneral Winter", STAVKA was given time to deploy fresh troops from other fronts. The 78th 
Infantry, led by energetic 38-year old general Afanasy Pavalontovich Beloborodov, was transferred 
6,000 miles from their native Siveria to the Sixteenth Army under Rokossovsky. Veterans of the 
Mongolian frontier, the Siberians would use skillful ambushes, and delaying tactics to slow the 
panzer's march on Moscow. Near the River Istra, they were finally ordered to halt and fight. The 
snow-covered fields and medieval town of Istra itself would become a battlefield for several weeks. 
On 26th November, the 78th was renamed the "9th Guards Infantry" but needed no special titles to 
display elan and heroism. Squeezing out of the pincers fromed by 10th Panzer Division and 2nd SS 
"Das Reich", the marvelous Siberians would regroup and launch a counterattack to retake the historic 
town.
