As there has not been a new question asked by Olia, I'll post a new question.

Where was the command post for the General Staff located for the duration of the war?

How about this then?

[iОдной из лучших авиационных частей - 5-му Гвардейскому истребительному авиаполку - подарил 2 самолёта коллектив джаз - оркестра РСФСР под руководством Леонида Утёсова. Самолеты носили название "Весёлые ребята".][/i]

Two airplanes was donated to the one of the best units of aviation - the 5th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment - by members of the Jazz - Orchestra of the Russian Federation under the leadership of Leonid Utesov. Planes were called "Jolly Fellows".

A new question:

A Soviet Rifle Division became notorious late August - early September so that even Stavka was interfiering to its destiny.
Which Division was it?

The Division came to Stavka's notion by telegraph machine coversation between Zhukov and Poskrebyshev, during which Zhukov, who was supposed to stay in the GHQ, asked permission to fly to the front to restore order in the Division in question.

A couple of days later Zhukov was still at the front and had a telegram conversation with Stalin and Shaposnikov.

Stalin asked: "And will the celebrated ??? Division be sleeping long?"
How should we fill the ???s?

Another hint:
During the same conversation ...
Zhukov: "...I request your permission immeditlely to arrest and try all panic-mongers, abut which I've been reporting. Over"

Stalin: "... We salute you and give you permission to charge them with all severity. Over. Farewell."
