Crimean campaign 1941/42

#1

I'm trying to piece together the starting positions of Soviet forces in the Crimea just prior to the German attacks at Perekop.

Specifically the following units...

172, 184, 320, 321 Rifle Divisions

40, 42, 48 Cavalry Divisions

The rifle divisions were originally the 1, 2, 3, and 4 Militia Divisions, renamed as rifle divisions in October.

As for Axis units, I'm looking for what support units other than artillery/assault guns were present. Specifically Flak units, security troops or other independent infantry battalions or regiments.

Thank You

Greg,

I had seen similar maps but not as useful as the ones you linked to. They did help. Thank you very much
