Soviet units, Küstrin area, 27 March 1945

Hello,

Can anyone help me with the Soviet units that were defending against the German offensive to relieve Küstrin on 27 March 1945?
Which rifle divisions and (if any) tank, assault gun/self-propelled artillery and anti-tank artillery brigade/regiments were present in the area in that date?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

295 Rifle Division (1038, 1040, 1042 Rifle regiments) in the north sector and 47 Guards Rifle Division in the south sector were under direct pressure from German relieve forces.
Encirclement of German forces in Küstrin was warranted by 416 Rifle Division and 35 Guards Rifle Division.

295 RD and 416 RD were part of 32 Rifle Corps, 5 Shock Army.
47 GRD and 35 GRD were from 4 Guards Rifle Corps, 8 Guards Army.

Thanks. Do you know which corps/army troops, if any, were attached to those divisions?
