Does anyone know how many tanks were in a typical winter(January)1944 russian tank brigade? In general or specifically one from the 29th tank corps?

If anyone also knows the OOB for one, that would be great. I really need the info, thankyou.

Hello,

From John Ellis's book 'World War II: The Encyclopedia of Facts and Figures', page 222, a 1944 Soviet tank corps had three tank brigades each with four 76mm anti-tank guns, six 82mm mortars and sixty-five T-34 tanks. In addition, the corps would also have had a motor rifle brigade, two self-propelled artillery regiments, a self-propelled anti-tank regiment and reconnaisance, engineer and signals battalions.
