The division was primarily remembered for its second formation, composed primarily of ethnic Armenians and fought in numerous battles during the war. It gained fame for participating in the battle for Berlin in April 1945, occupying the Berlin suburb of Rosenthal at war's end. A small contingent of the division arrived at the river Elbe after the war in a famous meeting between Red Army soldiers and the United States army forces from the west. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12th_Military_Base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
