10th Motorized Rifle Regiment?

***Dave*** · 02-27-2005, 12:49 PM

Does anyone out there have any information on the 10th Motorized Rifle Regiment? They aren't listed in Sharp's series, but his motorized unit references are extremely limited. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Dave,

the flag is an M1943 style flag which did not change from 1943-1990; the unit might be a postwar one, in which case it will be tougher to track.

is there a date in the sleeve, or a signature?

When did the soviets start to use the term MotorRifle? I had an M1943 flag for a Motorized NKVD unit a few years back and the word motorized was written out; was the term "MotorRifle" used in the GPW era? I never really thought about it, but it might help to date the flag.

Here's a picture of the flag. I can't find a date or signature on it, though I'd say it's an older one - if not wartime, then early postwar. I finally did find the 10th Motorized Rifle Regiment. They were disbanded in September 1941, and their assets were used to build the 133rd Tank Brigade. Unfortunately, the unit was redesignated as another... So the question continues...
