Talk:16th Rifle Division

1941
The area of deployment of the division in 1941 as part of the 65 Corps is very close to where another source reports is, so I would propose the division was redeployed during the early part of fighting, but further research is required.--mrg3105 (comms) ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣ 01:07, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Graduates
The article currently states that The officers of the division were by and large graduates from the Vilnius infantry academy, who had been evacuated after the invasion to Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo Oblast.. This seems rather fishy, as the Soviets owned the city for roughly a year prior to the Barbarossa, which doesn't seem enough to establish an infantry academy, let alone produce any graduates. Same for Lithuanian period - the Lithuanian occupation of the town lasted less than a year. Are there any sources for that?  // Halibutt 02:23, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
