127th Rifle Division (May 1943 formation)

The 127th Rifle Division (May 1943 formation) was a Soviet Red Army infantry division that was reformed in May 1943 during World War II. This formation should be distinguished from the earlier 127th Rifle Division which had a different formation history and participated in the initial stages of the war before being disbanded.

The division's specific combat path and area of operations after its May 1943 formation are not widely documented in easily accessible English-language sources. Further research would be needed to detail its wartime service, including its involvement in specific offensives, defensive battles, and geographical locations it operated within.

Typically, Soviet rifle divisions during this period consisted of roughly 10,000 to 12,000 men, comprising three rifle regiments, an artillery regiment, and various supporting units such as reconnaissance, signals, and engineer battalions. The 127th Rifle Division (May 1943 formation) would have likely adhered to this general structure, contributing to the immense manpower deployed by the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front. Information regarding its commanders and disbandment date is currently unavailable and requires further investigation.
