Boevoi sostav Sovetskoi armii
Boevoi sostav Sovetskoi armii is an official Second World War Soviet Army order of battle published in five parts from 1963 through 1990 by the Voroshilov Academy of the General Staff and Voenizdat.
Entries detailing the order of battle are arranged by month from June 1941 through May 1945 and for August 1945. The monthly entries are divided into four sections. These divide the forces into those actually engaged in combat operations, strategic air defense forces, Reserve of the Supreme High Command, and forces assigned to other fronts, theaters, and military districts.
For each of the four sections, the order of battle is sorted into categories as rifle, artillery, tank, aviation, and engineer units. Totals for types of units are provided by organization, and by month.English-language bibliographical listings
