This article is in good shape. A few comments:
 * was a horsed cavalry division


 * during operation Case Blue→during the 1942 German strategic summer offensive (Case Blue)


 * suggest "During the early stages of the German invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II, the latter suffered massive casualties."


 * "quickly forwarded sent to the front lines" and link front lines to Eastern Front (World War II)


 * "meant that horsed cavalry divisions"


 * "20 national cavalry divisions and 15 national rifle brigades"


 * link Caucasus


 * National Cavalry Divisions→national cavalry divisions


 * 3,498-man-strong

 * "Since the command staff had departed the republic" why? to go to the front? concentration area?


 * intro ASSR when you first mention Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republics

 * "Case Blue, the 1942 German strategic summer offensive"


 * "by sending forward the 51st Army"


 * no redlink for the 115th Cavalry Division?


 * on which flank of the 110th was the 115th Cavalry Division?


 * "west of the Don, to cross the river"


 * "shot down 5 five German aircraft"


 * "advance guard exchanged fire with the enemy, losing five killed and 7 seven wounded"


 * was the 273rd Cavalry Regiment a part of this division? What about the 311th Cavalry Regiment and 292nd Cavalry Regiment? Could you add info about the main constituent fighting units somewhere earlier?


 * "The Germans retreated"


 * reconnaissance platoon and link reconnaissance and platoon


 * Panzergrenadier Division


 * It was actually Motorised Infantry Division Großdeutschland at this stage, it didn't get upgraded to Panzergrenadier until May 1943


 * 2nd and 3rd German Grenadier Battalions→II. and III. Grenadier Battalions of the Großdeutschland division


 * link company (military unit)


 * I. Grenadier Battalion


 * anti-tank riflemen


 * move link to Kalmyks to first mention


 * located in the 110th Division's area


 * 37th Army (Soviet Union) is duplinked


 * Großdeutschland's motorcycle battalion


 * link Armored car (military)


 * link mortar (weapon)


 * blew up the Bagaevskaya bridge


 * 3rd Panzer Corps→III Panzer Corps


 * once introduced as the 110th Separate Cavalry Division, you should refer to it as the 110th Separate Cavalry Division until it becomes the 110th Cavalry Division


 * The divisional headquarters building was destroyed


 * Manych river


 * the claim for the German casualties caused by the division during Case Blue (destruction of all of the infantry and reconnaissance battalions of the Großdeutschland division, presumably) seems very high, and they weren't mechanised infantry (ie panzergrenadier), they were motorised at this point. Without German records to compare, this seems extraordinary. I would definitely attribute this in-text to Ubushaev and include who he is. ie historian etc. This is likely to be scrutinised to a greater extent at ACR or FA.
 * Added "according to Russian historian..". I actually mixed up mechanized with motorized, my bad. I will change it across the article.--Catlemur (talk) 14:47, 20 June 2020 (UTC)


 * "the vicinity of the Manych"


 * rank for Vladimir Homutnikov? redlink?
 * Added rank. According to Russian WP Homutnikov was Frunze educated and led a secret Soviet mission to Tibet in the 1920s. So he stands out compared to the other commanders.--Catlemur (talk) 10:33, 20 June 2020 (UTC)


 * "mechanized infantry battalion and 10 tanks" from which division?
 * Source does not specify.--Catlemur (talk) 09:29, 21 June 2020 (UTC)


 * "the division was incorporated into the 4th Guards Cavalry Corps" but wasn't it already?
 * The columns located in the Northern Caucasus were, however those at Astrakhan became part of the 28th Army. When the division was reformed all of the divisions personnel came under the 4th Guards Cavalry Corps' control.--Catlemur (talk) 18:34, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

 * File:Eastern Front 1942-05 to 1942-11.png needs some information about the source of the graphic info added to the underlying map
 * All this needs is a look at a book that covers Case Blue to check that the graphics are consistent, then note that in the Summary on the file page. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:48, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Added a source. This should be the last one.--Catlemur (talk) 12:22, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
