Moscow Communist Rifle Divisions

Post by 56ajax »

It would appear that 2 divisions were formed in Moscow around October and November 1941 from party volunteers and workers battalions. These are known as Communist Rifle Divisions and are not to be confused with Militia Divisions and Workers divisions though some sources seem to do just that. Both were used to rebuild destroyed Rifle Divs.

2nd Moscow Communist Rifle Division formed October 41 consisting of 3 Militia Rifle Regiments, 1 Light Art Reg and 1 Howitzer Reg. Used as the basis for the rebuilt 129th Rifle Div in Jan 1942.

3rd Moscow Communist Rifle Division formed November 41 consisting of 3 Workers Rifle Regiments, 1 Art Reg. Used as the basis for the rebuilt 130th Rifle Div in Jan 1942.

I don't think these are modelled in the game, and if not need to be included somehow. Thoughts, comments please.
