WWII Soviet Partisans 1941 - 1945

Partisans (WW2)

In the 1920s and - especially - in the 1930s, the Red Army experienced rapid development in terms of increasing its posts, as well as increasing the saturation of technical weapons, primarily armored ones. However, the infantry was the main and most numerous element of the Red Army.
  The Soviet rifle division in 1941 consisted of three rifle regiments (three battalions each), an artillery regiment, followed by an anti-tank and anti-aircraft artillery division, as well as reconnaissance and communications battalions. In total it numbered about 14,500 people. However, by 1945, this situation had undergone significant changes, resulting in a division of approximately 11,500-12,000 men, consisting of three infantry regiments, an artillery brigade of three regiments, a self-propelled artillery squadron and many support units, including anti-tank units. . , anti-aircraft weapons or communications equipment. The saturation of infantry units with automatic weapons also increased significantly - for example, APsZ 41 submachine guns, and later APsZ 43.

The term Soviet partisans (or partisan detachments) in the Second World War (period 1941-1945) is defined as all irregular detachments that fought against the German occupiers in the territories of the USSR, the Polish lands that became part of the USSR in 1939, and in these territories . Finland, annexed by the Soviet Union as a result of the Winter War (1939-1940). Often the partisan detachments included former soldiers and officers of the Red Army, who during the German operations of 1941 did not manage to break through to their troops and were not captured by the Germans.
  The nature of the activities of Soviet partisans until the end of 1941 was predominantly reconnaissance and sabotage activities on a relatively small scale. However, over time, partisan troops played an increasingly important role in the plans of Soviet military headquarters and were taken into account when planning the operation near Kursk (1943) or during Operation Bagration (1944), as those forces that were supposed to play a significant role in the delay of German transports. troops and supplies to the front line.
