Re: Soviet Hurricanes - where, when, ...?
Everything is ok with Dolgushin and his memoirs. The official date of beginning for Stalingrad battle is July 17, 1942. To this date none of the mentioned regiments were combat ready exept 436 IAP. Thus, we do not have any whole equipped Hurricane division during the Stalingrad battle. Moreover, I should say that 235 IAD participated in the Stalingrad battle with regiments mostly equipped with Lagg-3s such as 13 IAP and 156 IAP.
I do not deny the existance of 235 IAD and Col. Podgornyi as its commander, but be precise with facts...
