97th Cavalry Division[edit]

I'm preparing to write articles on the 61st and 97th CDs to complete the history of the 3rd Formation, but Sharp is giving me contradictory info about the 97th. He states that the division remained in the Central Asia Military District until the end of 1942 (so, not disbanded prior to Operation Uranus). I've confirmed this in the Combat Composition for Nov. '42. It was then ferried across the Caspian to Astrakhan in Jan. '43 where it was added to the 4th Cav. Corps, which was being rebuilt in that area, before it, and the Corps, was disbanded on Mar. 4. Also, the tankfront.ru page states that the 63rd Cavalry Div. was part of the Corps from Dec. '41 to May, '42, and this is confirmed in the Combat Composition for April, '42, and also by Sharp. It seems to me that the OoB of the 3rd Formation needs some major revisions. Wreck Smurfy (talk) 03:06, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote an article on the 97th this evening. I should be able to do the 61st and 63rd Cavalry Divisions over the next few days; following that I will feel confident to make the corrections to 4th Cavalry Corps. Wreck Smurfy (talk) 03:31, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
