Nice maps.

I assume on the Soviet side the G means Guards, R = Rifle, D = Division, A (as last character) = Army, C = Corps, M = Motorized, T = Tank, AT = Anti-Tank. Some of the others I'm not sure about. Does "B" mean Battery, or Battalion? Any idea what "TR" represents?

Thanks for the detailed maps. I'm learning a lot more about this very important battle than I knew before.

Seeing the level of Russian preparation makes the German hesitation at the highest level understandable. But, as you point out, it is the soldiers who will pay the price.
