The 99th Infantry Division, which included the 206th Infantry Regiment, participated in the liberation of Hungary. Overcoming the desperate resistance of the Nazis, she was approaching the Danube. She had to cross the river south of Budapest on the move. By this time, the first frosts came into their own, the icy Balaton wind was pulling, December 1944 began. The rifle battalion, in which Weinstein served, was tasked with capturing a bridgehead on the right bank of the Danube and holding it until the entire regiment crossed, followed by the formation.
Transport facilities were sought locally. The soldiers collected fishing boats, dry logs, boards, empty barrels. Rafts and ferries were knitted from improvised means.
On the night of December 5-6, the scouts set sail from the left bank. For a long time there was no news from them. Peering into the darkness cut through by flares and machine-gun fire. Suddenly, in the darkness of the night, a greenish light flashed. Its direction coincided with the place where the scout boat was supposed to land on the shore. The observers understood the meaning of the signal. Landing boats began to set sail one after another from the left bank. The political officer and the commander of the artillery battery were sitting in a boat with a squad of submachine gunners.
At the pier, the commander of the intelligence department reported to the political officer all the data. The mooring was chosen at the summer manor's pavilion, which stood on the very shore. There was a gentle descent and a muddy, hard bottom. To the north stretched a park with centuries-old lindens, to the south stood a village with a church; 300 meters to the west rose hills - "twins", on which the defense of the Nazis passed. For the time being, those who had crossed huddled on a small "patch" near the lord's arbor. The political officer formed them into battle formation to attack the hills.
Long before dawn, most of the battalion was already on the right bank. They were waiting for the arrival from the left bank of the battalion commander. They expected, as soon as he arrived, to move on to storm the "twins". But south of the village with the church, the enemy discovered the crossing of the neighboring division. Incredible shooting erupted. There was a fear that the Germans would notice them too. The political officer decided to launch an attack without waiting for the battalion commander.
As a result of swift actions and the personal example of the political officer, by dawn the battalion had captured the hills. The battalion commander arrived in time when his units were already in the enemy's trenches. At dawn, the enemy tried to retake the hills, but the battalion repelled a counterattack. Enemy artillery spoke up. All calibers hit the "twins". The battalion was wounded. He was evacuated. The political officer became the commander of the battalion. During the day, the fighters repelled 15 powerful counterattacks. But the enemy did not relent. 200 enemy submachine gunners made their way through the linden park at dusk to hit the battalion from the rear. The political officer resolutely raised part of the battalion's forces to attack. A desperate struggle ensued, sometimes reaching hand-to-hand combat. The political officer fought ahead of everyone, leading others by personal example.
The machine gunners took to flight. But in this battle, B.Ya. Weinstein died.
The division was formed in the Southern Military District in the city of Buguruslan. The formation was started on December 20, 1941. By April 20, the division was formed and redeployed to the district. Balashov. The junior command staff of the division was mainly trained by regimental and divisional schools and had no experience in the bd. In total, the division consisted of 9822 people. (3600 Kazakhs, 2441 Russians, 853 Tatars, 841 Bashkirs, 511 Georgians, 411 Ukrainians, 248 Mordvins, 248 Azerbaijanis, 194 Kirghiz, 115 Chuvashs). Up to 40% of people with no or poor command of Russian did not speak Russian at all. Combat training was carried out according to an accelerated program. Regimental and divisional exercises were held, but shooting training was carried out only from rifles, because. there was no other mat part. Artillerymen also conducted exercises on mock-ups for lack of guns. On May 1, 1942, the division was not armed with artillery guns, not field, not anti-aircraft. There were 72 82mm and 72 50mm mortars. In Balashov, a mat was received. part of the artillery. On May 22, she became part of 3ResA. On June 10, Marshal Voroshilov K.E. came to the division with a commission. checked in 1942. readiness of new formations for battles. In the presence of the marshal, exercises were held, after which they were analyzed. Marshal gave an unsatisfactory assessment of the readiness of the connection and gave 6 days to eliminate the shortcomings. On July 3, the division set out from Balashov to the front.
On July 4-5, the division arrived in trains in the Liski-Bobrov region of the Voronezh region. Already when unloading at the Liski and Ikorets stations, the echelons of the division were bombed and suffered their first losses. On July 5, the division concentrated in the area of Davydovka at the disposal of 6A, where it received an order to advance on Korotoyak, where German troops captured bridgeheads on the Don. The air was dominated by enemy aircraft bombing Davydovka. On July 8, an order was received to move to the Voronezh region. On July 10, 1942, the 206th Rifle Division, passing under the control of the 40th Army from the Bryansk Front, without the 722nd Infantry Regiment with the 16th Fighter Brigade (IBR) of anti-tank guns (PTO) concentrated in the Pridach - Tavrovo - Semiluksky Vyselki - Maslovka area ..
At 12.00 on July 11, the 206th Rifle Division, performing the task of capturing the Shilovo and Trushkino settlements in the west. bank of the river Voronezh, the 748th Rifle Regiment (without the 2nd Infantry Battalion (Sat)) and the 737th Rifle Regiment began crossing the river. The enemy offered stubborn resistance and with strong fire from machine guns, machine guns and mortars stopped the offensive.
On July 11, 40A went on the offensive, starting to force the Voronezh River. The direction of the blow was Shilovo-Trushkino. The attack of the division was repulsed by strong enemy artillery fire. Repeated attempts, renewed after dark and on the night of July 12, were unsuccessful. Only one platoon managed to gain a foothold in the Shilovo area to the west. shore. The division was given two tank companies of 10 KV tanks each. By order of the commander of 40A, the further offensive was suspended. However, further forcing of the Voronezh River by parts of the division continued. The enemy led a strong artillery. fire on the battle formations of the division. Captured on the app. On the coast of Voronezh, the battalion 737sp lost more than half of its hp from enemy fire. The remnants of the battalion on the morning of July 13 retreated to the east. shore. On the morning of July 13, 3b-n 748sp crossed to the west. shore. The defense nodes of Shilovo and Trushkno dominated the area and were saturated with a large number of firepower. Having lost up to half of its personnel, the battalion retreated to the east. shore. During the night of July 14, there was a rare exchange of artillery and mortar fire from both sides. In the battles for July 13, the division destroyed an enemy machine-gun and mortar battery. The losses of the division were: killed, wounded and missing - 487 people, rifles - 400 pieces, heavy machine guns - 7 pieces, PTR - 16 pieces, 82-mm mortars - 1 piece, PPSh assault rifles - 16 pieces. Despite the unsuccessful actions, the division still reached its goal. The enemy was forced to increase the grouping in this area, somewhat weakening the onslaught in Voronezh. Intelligence established the presence in the Shilovo area up to a motorized infantry regiment; tanks approached Malyshevo, the number of which was not established. From Malyshevo itself to the forest, 3 km north-east. the village during the night there was movement of up to 12 vehicles with infantry.
On July 14, two companies of the division crossed the river by the end of the day in pursuance of the order. Voronezh and entrenched in the west. bank of the river, which is 1 km east. Shilovo. On July 15, the companies captured the Shilovo-Trushkino area in the west. bank of the river Voronezh, but as a result of strong enemy fire, they retreated to the eastern bank of the river. The losses of the division for July 14 were: killed - 3 people, wounded - 12 people, missing - 129 people. In a combat report dated July 15 to the commander of the Voronezh Front, Lieutenant General N.F. Vatutin, commander of the 40th Army, Lieutenant General M.M. Popov wrote: “... 3. I decided at 23.00 on July 15 the 206th Rifle Division without one regiment with two divisions of the 45th GMP to force the river. Voronezh on the section Peschanka - Tavrovo, and advance in the direction of the railway. booths, which is 2 km west of the city of Voronezh, and, together with the troops of the 60th Army, destroy the enemy's Voronezh grouping. On the rest of the front, by active actions of reconnaissance detachments and fire impact, tie down the enemy.
On the same day, the division with attached two "RS" divisions of the 45th GMP completed the regrouping of troops, and occupied the initial line on the front line of the claim with the 737th and 748th joint ventures. Gerbil, suit. Tavrovo. However, by 4.00 on July 16, the crossing of the river. Voronezh did not take place due to the unpreparedness of the crossing facilities. At 23.00 on July 16, two regiments of the 206th Rifle Division with two "RS" divisions of the 45th GMP with the 595th Artillery Regiment (ap), 1/125th Rifle Regiment of the 6th Rifle Division and the 180th Tank Brigade additionally assigned to the strike force (TBR), with the support of firepower of the 6th Rifle Division in the south. env. Voronezh and air support by night bombardment by our aircraft of the areas of Shilovo, Malyshevo, began to force the river. Voronezh on the site Peschanka, Tavrovo. The losses of the 206th Rifle Division on July 16 amounted to 13 wounded. At 2.00 on July 17, the first flight on pontoons and other crossing facilities departed to the west. bank of the river Voronezh. However, as before, the crossing was disrupted by organized enemy fire. In addition, 6 A-3 boats were disabled by the enemy. The second forcing, which began at 13.35, was also unsuccessful. During the night, the division demonstrated false crossings in the Tavrovo areas and to the north. The losses of the division for July 17 were killed and wounded: the average command staff - 24 people, the junior command staff - 42 people. and ordinary staff - 422 people.
The failures of the 206th Rifle Division forced the command of the Voronezh Front to pay attention to the commander of the 40th Army, Lieutenant General M.M. Popov to eliminate the causes hindering the accomplishment of the combat mission. Popov in his report to the commander of the Voronezh Front N.F. Vatutin noted: “... it was impossible to eliminate all the outrages, since the communication and reports of my commanders were systematically torn, and my orders were late. This was exacerbated by the lies prevailing in the division, unverified information and false reports, the lack of control and elementary control on the part of the division commander and regimental commanders. ... The commander of the 206th Rifle Division, Colonel Kishkin, was warned about a service discrepancy. ... The commander of the 748th regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Bashko, is an illiterate and, moreover, an inactive, inert person. The commander nevertheless saw the main reason for the failures of the division in the fact that “the bulk of the commanding staff of the division did not participate in the battles and have a very vague idea of \u200b\u200bmodern combat. The discipline and organization in the division is at an extremely low level. People need to be taught at every step and at the same time to impose order and discipline.
Losses of the division from July 10 to August 1, 42. amounted to 1173 people. killed, 4773 wounded, 1494 missing.
Measures were taken by the army commander to eliminate the negative consequences. In particular, the Military Council of the Army and the deputy commanders "most of all sit in the units of the 206th Rifle Division in order to restore order in it, help and force the command to fulfill combat orders," and it was also proposed by N.F. Vatutin to replace the commanders of the 206th Rifle Division and the 748th Rifle Division.
The head of the Special Department of the NKVD of the Voronezh Front, senior major of state security Vadis, in our opinion, most fully revealed the reasons for the unsuccessful actions of the division. In his special report on the reasons for the disruption of the operation to cross the units of the 206th Rifle Division to the Military Council of the Voronezh Front, Vadis wrote that “the enemy met our units crossing with intense machine-gun and mortar fire, and also fired at our units accumulated at the crossing. The following contributed to the enemy's accuracy in hitting our targets: 1) the lack of camouflage in the preparatory work for the construction of crossing facilities; 2) leaving the site of the Peschanka-Tavrovo crossing the same, where our units have already attempted the crossing three times; 3) open, well-shot and studied by the enemy terrain; 4) poor organization of the preparation of our troops for crossing the river.
The shortcomings in the organization of the preparation of troops for the crossing, according to Vadis, were expressed as follows: “The commanders of the divisions reconnoitered the area, actions and searched for a place for the command post at nightfall, as a result of which the targets of the fire were not shot and the enemy’s firing points were not identified. Communication of the command post of the artillery regiment with divisions, and the latter with batteries, was not organized. Sent to establish the whereabouts of the command post divisions Art. Lieutenant Bukin and Jr. Lieutenant Solik returned 2 hours late, but Lieutenant Zhidko did not find the command post of the 2nd division. Thus, there was no fire control of the batteries, their actions were scattered and there was no massive artillery raid, they fired at an unknown target. The remaining invulnerable points of the enemy with massive fire inflicted defeats on the fighters of the 737th regiment crossing in boats and did not allow the infantry to the river bank.
In addition, Vadis placed some of the blame for the failures of the 206th Rifle Division on Commander M.M. Popov, who "without taking into account all the previous shortcomings in the operations," ordered "to resume the implementation of this task on the afternoon of July 17, 1942 at the same place. The command of the 206th Rifle Division, the division commander - Colonel Kishkin and the division commissar - Regimental Commissar Tishinsky, knowingly foreseeing the futility of these actions, due to the poor preparation and organization of this operation, did not express their opinions, fearing they would be accused of cowardice, and proceeded to carry out tasks. ... And only after the failure of the 4th operation, the army commander decided to resume the offensive on the night of July 18-19 to force the river in another place, in the Semiluk region, for which purpose the forces of the 206th Rifle Division were regrouped and withdrawn to the area of Yakovlevo, Semiluki and Berezovka.
Be that as it may, but until the end of July, the shortcomings in the management of the division, obviously, were not eliminated. The battles to capture Trushkino and Shilovo continued without significant success, since the 206th Rifle Division in the west. bank of the river Voronezh was able to capture only small bridgeheads.
On August 12, 1942, units of the 40th and 60th armies of the Voronezh Front and the 38th Army of the Bryansk Front went on the offensive. The immediate task of the strike force was to break through the enemy fortifications and capture the southern outskirts of Voronezh - a springboard for the development of the operation to liberate the eastern bank of the Don River. The 206th Rifle Division firmly defended the eastern bank of the Voronezh River near the mouth of the river. On August 11, at 22:00, the 737th regiment of the division concentrated in its starting position for an attack on the village of Shilovo on the right bank of the river. The 206th division went on the offensive on Shilovo at 4.15, but was not successful, the regiment lay under fire on the outskirts of the village. The 722nd Infantry Regiment sent an infantry group in the direction of the village of Yunevka with the task of conducting combat reconnaissance to capture a bridgehead on the western bank of the Don River. On August 13, 1942, the troops of the Voronezh Front and the 38th Army of the Bryansk Front resumed offensive operations. The 206th division fought a firefight and had no success in advancing. On August 15, 1942, the troops of the 40th Army of the Voronezh Front continued to carry out their task. The 206th division occupied its former position, trying to advance in the Shilovo area. With heavy losses, the army managed to gain a foothold on the Chizhovsky bridgehead and the outskirts of the city's right bank. The task of taking bridgeheads on the western bank of the Don River near Kostenki - Aleksandrovka was not completed. The 206th division was fortified on the right bank near the village of Yunevka, but was never able to continue the attack on the village of Shilovo. As a result of the hostilities, the troops of the 40th Army lost 8,877 people in the offensive operation.
On August 16-17, 1942, units of the 40th Army of the Voronezh Front were fixed on the outskirts of Chizhovka. The 206th Rifle Division held a bridgehead in the Yunevka area. On this, the fighting to capture the bridgehead on the southern outskirts of the city of Voronezh for the 40th Army ended.
By September 1942, the command of the Voronezh Front had developed another offensive operation. The purpose of the operation: by concentric strikes of the main forces of the 60th and 40th armies, bypassing Voronezh from the west and south, encircle the enemy in the city of Voronezh, cutting him off from crossings across the Don River. On September 15, 1942, the troops of the strike group of the 40th Army, after a 55-minute artillery strike and a massive air strike at 6.35, crossed over and retreated. The 206th division of the 722nd regiment advanced to the red school. The 737th regiment, consisting of only two battalions, was stopped by fire near the forest south of Chizhovka. By the end of September 15, the 206th Infantry Division reached the psychiatric hospital by the end of the day. Due to the strong counterattacks of the enemy and faced with powerful return fire, the offensive operations of the 40th Army almost stopped. The 40th Army was subjected to massive air strikes all day on September 20, especially in the area of the Chizhovsky bridgehead and crossings over the Voronezh River. With this, the offensive actions of the troops of the Voronezh Front to encircle and destroy the enemy's Voronezh grouping were completed. The tasks assigned to the troops of the front were not fulfilled, only partial success was achieved in expanding the Chizhovsky bridgehead.
On October 3, after a powerful volley of RS, the units occupying the bridgehead went on the offensive. Before 159 and 206sd, the task was to expand the bridgehead in the sowing. direction. The offensive was supported by tanks 25TK and 14tbr. 206sd during the attacks on October 3-4, it was not possible to advance far. The total advance was only 100-200m. 206sd occupied the area from the Psychiatric Hospital to the military camp. The new offensive had no further development, and from October 5, units 40A again went on the defensive.
On the eve of the Voronezh-Kastornensky offensive operation, the 206th division was withdrawn from the 40th army and transferred to the 38th army zone. She successfully broke through the long-term defense of the Nazis and irresistibly rushed to Golosnovka, Staraya Veduga, Kastornaya.
After the Battle of Kursk, the division liberated the cities of the Left-Bank Ukraine, crossed the Dnieper, fought in the Carpathians, on the territory of Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Austria.

On the basis of the Highest Decree of June 25, 1838, there is a bracket with the banner.
On June 25, 1838, the Supreme Decree was given to the Minister of War, beginning with the words: " Desiring to preserve in our victorious army the memory of its unforgettable founder and in each regiment to pass on to later posterity their laudable deeds, and thereby to arouse competition in the new generations of the brave Russian troops for merit equally glorious on the battlefield, we establish special insignia with banners and standards". These signs were for military units that existed continuously for 100 years or more, in special commemorative order ribbons imposed on banners, and in special gilded staples
worn on the shaft below the cloth; for parts that have existed for less than a hundred years - only in the brackets mentioned.

Story
- 12/30/1908 - The 262nd Salyan Infantry Reserve Regiment of His Imperial Highness the Heir to the Tsesarevich, the 7-10th companies of the 1st Warsaw and 3rd Kovno Fortress Infantry Regiments were combined into the 262nd Salyan Infantry Regiment of His Imperial Highness the Heir to the Tsesarevich
- 02/20/1910 - 206th Salyan Infantry Regiment of His Imperial Highness the Heir to Tsesarevich Grand Duke Alexei Nikolaevich
On November 13 (26), 1919, the 1st and 2nd Consolidated Regiments were detached from the 8th Infantry Division and merged into a Separate Brigade of the 52nd Infantry Division. Since the brigade was considered not quite reliable and weak, it was sent to the southernmost section of the All-Union Socialist Republic. The consolidated regiments took up a 12-verst position along the right bank of the Psou River, settling in the villages of Veseloye - Shilovka - Mikhelripsh with a reserve in Adler. Here the Salian battalion guarded the neutral zone that separated the territory: the Armed Forces of South Russia and Georgia, which was hostile to the volunteers, and also fought against the "green" detachments. But the unreliable personnel of the brigade predetermined its military catastrophe. At dawn on January 15 (28), 1920, the united squads of the "greens" attacked scattered white units, which surrendered almost without a fight. The officers of the Salyan battalion, fleeing from their propagandized soldiers and partisans, retreated to Sochi. On January 19 (February 1), the rebels crushed the remnants of the 52nd brigade and on the morning of January 20 (February 2) solemnly entered Sochi. “Suddenly, the sounds of a bravura march were heard,” recalled the commander of the Black Sea peasant militia N.V. Voronovich, - and a small group of harmoniously marching soldiers dressed in English overcoats appeared to meet us. It was the orchestra of the Salyan stick of the 52nd brigade, left by the headquarters that fled from the city and decided to go over to the side of the “greens” with music. I put the orchestra in front of the squad and, to the sounds of the march, led my militia to the market square. Announcing the deserted streets, the music calmed the townsfolk. The Salyan battalion, which almost completely went over to the side of the rebels, was immediately sent to the front against their recent commanders. On January 31 (February 13), 1920, near the village of Golovinki, the "greens" finally defeated the remnants of the brigade of the 52nd division. “In total, from January 28 to February 13,” the victorious report reported, “the Black Sea militia captured 8 guns, 33 machine guns, 2,000 rifles, more than a million rounds of ammunition, 2,200 prisoners, including 100 officers, uniform depots, convoys of two regiments and the Armenian battalion ; commanders of the Shirvan and Salyan regiments were identified among the prisoners. All captured officers were brought to public trial as criminals…” On February 11 (24), the militia occupied Tuapse. Soon representatives of the 9th Red Army arrived in the city. With their participation, on February 25 (March 11), the captured white soldiers formed the Black Sea Red Army, which included the Salyan battalion. This "army" moved to connect with the 9th Red Army to Maikop. But on 5–6 (18–19) March, the Chernomortsy faced the retreating Kuban army from Yekaterinodar, Lieutenant General A. G. Shkuro, who defeated and mostly scattered the newly-minted Red Army soldiers.
