231st GSP - Operation Pomeranian 1945

I have a map showing the location of the 75th Guards Rifle Division outside of Stargard, Germany in February 1945. However, I cannot locate the 231st Guards Rifle Regiment. Does anyone know where this regiment was located during this period of time?

Thank you Virginian!

Unfortunately the last two map links you provided give a 503 error code. Is there another way you can add the maps?

Also, how do I get the same reports for time between 10 January - 31 January 1945?
