Maybe

It isn't missing or displaced. Simply some pages between 10.May and 1.Sept. remained empty. It is a notebook with handwritten entries. All pages are on their places. 812.IAP made its last sorties on Kuban in the first days of June, and returned to action in the first days of September in Ukraine. So only three weeks of actions omitted. But these days maybe described in other regiment's documents - in "Log book of combat sorties", in combat reports and so on.
