Third Soviet Intruder Regiment
 
I am aware of two ADD intruder regiments, which became 26 GvAP NOB DD and 27 GvAP NOB DD. However, a history of the ADD states a third was formed in 1944, the 111 AP NOB DD. I can find no trace of this unit.
Does anyone have any information on this regiment such as date of formation, aircraft, and to which air corps it might have been attached?
The history also seems to indicate that in 1944 intruder regiments changed their role from harassing railways to attacking airfields. Again, does anyone have any information?

111 AP NOB DD (01.07.1944 – 26.12 1944 (?)) - commander major A.G. Mosalov. Unit in 5 ak DD.
111th AP NOB began combat operations in July 1944, he made two dozen flights and in August was reequipped on the B-25 "Mitchell". After that, he began to perform the functions of a "normal" bomber regiment. Due to the lack of cannon aircraft A-20G-1 (for the three regiments did not have enough aircraft).
In December 1944, reformed in the 111th bomber aviation regiment.
Probably unit in 22 GAD DD (or 50 AD DD ?) of 3th ak DD of 18 VA.
Fighting in the Berlin operation was given the honorary name "Berlin".
Disbanded 1 February 1971

Very many thanks for that prompt and detailed reply which has filled a hole in my Soviet air forces order of battle.
