Privet!

How about 159 IAP ? Similarily to 812 IAP not elevated to Guards status. Reading Finnish materials - published and archival - it seems La-5 were regarded the most dangerous opponent (1943-44). In 13VA there was only one La-5 regiment - 159 IAP. I suppose Andrej Dikov will take care of the Baltic Fleet La-5 regiments anyway?


Cheers,
