Re: Battle for Kiev 1943: VVS order of battle

Some clerifying moments.

10 GIAD is the same as 201 IAD.
Regiments were promoted in the following order:
13 IAP - 111 GIAP (La-5)
236 IAP - 112 GIAP (Yak-1)
437 IAP - 113 GIAP (La-5)
No 620 IAP could be found in 8 GIAD neither during the Kiev battle, nor at other orders for battles. 927 IAP (La-5) was shortly assigned to 8 GIAD first for the Kursk battle and second time during battle for the Dnieper crossings and Kiev in september-october 1943.
