1st Guards Cavalry-Mechanised Group
Unit of the Soviet Red Army / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1st Guards Cavalry-Mechanised Group (Russian: 1-я гвардейская кавалерийская механизированная группа) was a tactical-operational formation of the Soviet Red Army during the Second World War, first serving under the 1st Belorussian Front under the command of Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky over the course of Operation Bagration, later being transferred to General Rodion Malinovsky's 2nd Ukrainian Front to aid in its offensive into Hungary, Austria and ultimately Czechoslovakia. Commanded by the experienced and talented Guards Lieutenant General Issa Pliev, the Cavalry-Mechanised Group(KMG) proved itself to be an indispensable element of the Red Army in its attempts to destroy the German Wehrmacht on the Belorussian and Ukrainian axes.
