Northern Group of Forces (SGV). Aviation SGV in Poland - forever alive !!! Service in the army 1975 sgv poland

Practical measures for the creation of the Northern Group of Forces, uniting the corresponding troops on the territory of Poland, were determined by the Directive of the Headquarters of the Supreme High Command (VGK) No. 269 dated May 29, 1945. The SGV was created on the basis of the 2nd Belorussian Front. According to this directive, the General Staff was to be located in the city of Lodz (temporarily in the Bromberg area). This directive was signed by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief I. V. Stalin and the Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Antonov.

Subsequently, the General Headquarters of the SGV was located in the city of Legnica ( until 1945 the German city of Liegnitz), where he stayed until 1984. In Poland, Legnica was called "Little Moscow". From Legnica, the General Headquarters was relocated to the city of Swidnica, where it was located until the withdrawal of the SGV to the territory of the USSR.

In Legnica, on the site of the General Headquarters of the SGV, the Main Command of the Western Direction (SCZN) was located, headed by Marshal of the Soviet Union Ogarkov. There were 4 such High Commands in the post-war period (all were liquidated in June 1992). The High Command of the SCZN united the troops of the SGV (Poland), the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany (GSVG) - later the Western Group of Forces (ZGV) (East Germany), the Central Group of Forces (CGV) (Czechoslovakia), the Belarusian Military District (BVO) (Belarusian SSR, USSR), Carpathian Military District (PKVO) (Western Ukraine, USSR).

- 26th Guards Mechanized Vitebsk-Novgorod twice Red Banner Division, military unit 08744 - the former 90th Guards Rifle Division.

Formations and units of the 4th (from January 1949 to 1967 - 37th) air army.

However, already in the spring of 1946, the 46th Corps of the 65th Army and the 413th Division departed for the Moscow Military District (Belgorod) (its 15th Division, which became the 26th Mechanized Division, departed in Transcaucasia) and the administration of the 105th Corps was disbanded and his 168th and 354th divisions. On June 12, 1946, the 65th Army itself became the 7th Mechanized Division, consisting of 4 divisions: the 27th Guards and the 22nd Mechanized, as well as the 3rd Guards and 10th Tank Divisions transferred to the army ( see app. 18.2), The 44th Guards and 69th Rifle Divisions that remained during the reorganization of the army became part of the 43rd Army, while the first of them was disbanded a little later along with the army, and the second was withdrawn to Vologda.

The further withdrawal of troops led to the fact that the control of 2 rifle corps and 6 divisions remained in the group:

18th Red Banner Rifle Corps (Wroclaw). It consists of 2 divisions: the 26th Rifle Division (Wroclaw) and the 26th Guards Mechanized Division (Borne-Sulinove).

132nd Rifle Corps (Gdansk) - it consists of 2 rifle divisions: 70th (Bialogard) and 205th (Gdansk).

7th separate personnel tank division - until 12/20/1946 7th mechanized army (Lodz);

20th Panzer Division (Sventoszow).

However, in March-May 1948, the headquarters of the 132nd Corps and its 2 rifle divisions were disbanded, and the 7th separate personnel tank division was withdrawn to the BVO. In 1952, the administration of the 18th Corps and the 26th Rifle Division were disbanded. All subsequent time, the group was based on 2 divisions - the 90th Guards Tank Division (aka the former 90th Guards Rifle Division, then the 26th Guards Mechanized Division, in the period 03/12/1957 - 01/04/1965 38th Guards Tank) and 20th Panzer. The first of them, on February 8, 1985, according to the directive of the General Staff No. 314/3/0224, was reorganized into the 6th Guards Motorized Rifle Division - at the same time, the 6th Guards Motorized Rifle Division of the GSVG was reorganized into the 90th Guards Tank Division. At the same time, the numbers of some regiments in both divisions changed - the 6th and 215th guards tank regiments of the SGV were reorganized into the 16th and 82nd guards motorized rifle regiments, respectively, and the numbers of its tank regiments received the 16th and 82nd motorized rifle regiments in the GSVG.

In addition, at the same time there was a change of regiments in the 20th Panzer Division - its 255th Guards motorized rifle Volgograd-Korsunsky Red Banner named after. Shumilov's regiment left for the 82nd motorized rifle division in Volgograd, from where the 144th regiment arrived. Although in reality there was only a small castling of the personnel and the transfer of battle colors and historical forms of these regiments. Why this was done remains a mystery: one can only assume that the presence in Volgograd of an active participant in this battle of the 255th Guards Regiment (in 1942-1945, the 36th, aka the 7th Guards Motorized Rifle Stalingrad Brigade), bearing the name the hero of Stalingrad, General Shumilov, was considered necessary for political reasons. Apparently, for the same reasons, the 8th Guards Combined Arms Army, glorified in the Battle of Stalingrad, being withdrawn from Germany, was placed here - however, while reducing it to the size of an army corps.

The troops of the group were located in 180 military camps. In these towns, in addition to them, the military units of the Commander-in-Chief of the Western direction were also located ( see ch. 2), and other parts (Air Force, KGB, etc.). The separate 11th, 14th, 37th regiments and the 26th, 137th battalions of the Government Communications of the KGB were stationed here (they were subordinate to the Department of Government Communications - military unit pp 24260), the 15th separate railway battalion (military unit pp 80777, Kenshitsa), 56th car repair plant (Wroclaw), construction units, hospitals, commandant's offices, warehouses, bases, etc. And in Swinoujsc was the base of the Baltic Fleet.

The group served as a link between the GSVG and the troops stationed on the territory of the USSR. It is difficult to talk about the seriousness of its combat potential: due to the small number of troops, the group corresponded to an approximately reinforced army corps - only 2 divisions, but with a large number of combat and other units ( tab. 13.2). To a greater extent, the group played a psychological role - it was important for the GSVG troops not to feel their isolation from the country and at least minimal support from the rear.

The 2669th division was withdrawn from the division on 08/28/1888.

At the end of 1990, the SGV had approximately 45,000 servicemen, 598 tanks, 820 infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, 354 guns, mortars and MLRS, 300 aircraft and 69 helicopters in the 4th Air Army of the Supreme High Command (another 42 combat and 23 transport helicopters were in army aviation). compared to the mid-1980s. the size of the group decreased by 3.5 thousand people 90 tanks, 140 armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles and 90 guns.

The army included the directorates of 3 aviation divisions and 12 regiments, of which two divisions were located on the territory of Poland (239th Fighter - 159th Guards, 582nd and 871st Fighter Aviation Regiments; 149th Bomber - 42nd Guards , 3rd and 89th bomber regiments) and 3 separate regiments - the 164th guards reconnaissance, 151st electronic warfare and 688th helicopter.
