I was hoping someone would supply me with further confirmation on the Shtat/TOE for Guards Rifle Divisions. Specifically, regimental submachinegun companies. The sources I've come across seem to state that guards rifle divisions had 2 smg companies per rifle regiment from the June-July 1942 Shtat, on. Could someone corroborate this?Best regards,
