Grivnik brigade

Grivnik brigade

The Grivnik Brigade was an independent Soviet division during World War II. This brigade fought alongside the Soviet 88th Rifle Division against the Finnish J-Group of the Finnish III Corps and the German SS North during Operation Barbarossa. They beat back both forces, forcing the Finno-German troops to retire to the city of Kestenga in September 1941.
