Soviet senior officers (commander) casualties in WW2

#1

Post by taurus » 20 May 2016, 16:12

Hello!

I have long been engaged in drawing up a list of all the losses of the Red Army command unit during the war 1941-1945. I can rightly say that this is the most comprehensive data, and previously never such a list was compiled by nobody. All losses are distributed clearly categorized. This brigade commander: infantry, mechanized infantry, ski, armored, mechanized, trophy.
Division commander: infantry, air force, the cavalry.
It contains the following information: name, surname, patronymic, date and place of birth, position, date and place of death. Since the loss of Soviet generals studied in detail, they are in this work are not considered. But in view of the fact that the data loss generals incomplete, I can give a separate list of the names of the victims of Soviet generals, who had not mentioned anywhere.
Will it be interesting to highly respect the community?
Sorry for my English.

Best wishes
Best regards

Would you happen to have any info about earlier casualties of Soviet Senior officers - specifically from Finnish - Soviet Winter War? I am asking because I am currently writing about Finnish railway artillery and 5th of January 1940 Finnish Signal Intelligence reported to (at that time one and only) Railway Artillery Battery, that one of the shells it had fired had hit Red Army command post killing a general and several other high ranking officers.

At that time Railway Artillery Battery was operating near northern shore of Lake Ladoga / Laatokka and Soviet units involved were 168th and 18th Infantry Divisions.

Good Day! Yes, I have all the loss of senior officers in the Soviet-Finnish war. If you are interested, I can publish this information.

Perhaps in your case means military commissar 44 Rifle Division - Regimental Commissar (equivalent of the Colonel) Mizin Dmitri Nikolaevich. But he appears dead 7.01.1940.

Either the military commissar of the 25th Rifle Regiment battalion commissar (equivalent of the Major) Otdelnov Peter Georgievich. He also killed 7.01.1940.

On January 5 losses in the senior officers of the Red Army was not.

Thanks, it would be very nice to see the info that you have. 5th of January was the day when Signal Intelligence reported Railway Artillery Battery about the matter, hence the artillery shell hitting command post must have happened earlier. Considering the source (Signal Intel) it seems likely that the actual event likely happened at least days if not weeks earlier. Railway Artillery Battery operated pretty much in the same area for duration of whole Winter War, so the Soviet units should be the ones that I mentioned earlier.

Hello, I believe 44 Rifle Division was in the Suomussalmi area in January 1940 which was quite far from Ladoga Lake. So no connection with that episode.

On soldat.ru forum I read that it is only available in military unit bookshelves. Is that still true?
