Re: Lvov-Sandomierz operation July 1944
The interesting thing is that 9.GIAD was based in the very South (Bessarabia) before they were sent for support of Lvov-Sando.
Also, later 9.GIAD was sent to a Belorussian front for support of the Berlin operation, but by then flew La7 afaik. That means, the VVS took over the german flexibility of moving units among the front to where they were needed. Above that, still, it is really astonishing that a) the guards units flew the P-39 with such success in spite of its bad performance. b) such a big number of this "bad" planetype was concentrated in an important (offensive) area.
