Some will return (bigger) - some will not!


From manual:

15.9. EFFECT OF DEFENDER RETREAT RESULT

<SNIP>

Ground elements from units that shatter or surrender may be captured, may escape or, if Soviet infantry or cavalry squads, may form a partisan unit. Ground elements that escape are returned to the production pool and will be listed as escaped in the battle tab of the commander’s report. Axis units that shatter or surrender will attempt to reform (18.1.1.2). Soviet units that shatter or surrender are permanently destroyed, with the exception of some types of Soviet combat units destroyed before November 1941 (18.1.1.1). Isolated combat units that shatter suffer the effects of surrendering instead of the effects of shattering.

18.1.1.1. REBUILDING DESTROYED SOVIET COMBAT UNITS

Soviet Rifle, Motorized and Tank divisions that are destroyed prior to November 1941 will be added to the reinforcement schedule to re-enter as empty or nearly empty units after a certain number of turns with placement on the eastern part of the map per section 18.1.1 regarding previously destroyed units.

Soviet Rifle and Motorized divisions will return as Rifle divisions from 4 to 27 turns after being destroyed. Soviet Tank divisions will return as Soviet Tank brigades eleven turns after being destroyed. In addition, routed Soviet Tank Divisions that rally prior to September 1941 have a twenty percent chance of being automatically disbanded and returned as reinforcement Tank brigades eleven turns later.
