67th Guards Rifle Division
The 67th Guards Rifle Division was created on Jan. 21, 1943 from the 304th Rifle Division, in the 65th Army of Don Front, in recognition of that division's leading role in reducing the German 6th Army during Operation Ring, the destruction of the encircled German and Romanian forces at Stalingrad. The division later put up a very strong defense in the Battle of Kursk, and in 1944 and '45 took part in several succeeding offensives to the west and north, ending the war near the Baltic Sea, helping to besiege Army Group Courland.
