Hello to all 
; sometime ago (in the old forum) someone asked about this unit, I've posted something but its seem was..gone with the wind. Here goes again:
Pionier-Bataillon 62 - Rshew November 1942.
Zhukov's offensive began early on 25 November simultaneously against the eastern, western, and northern flanks of the German Rzhev salient. Preceded by vicious artillery preparation, infantry and supporting tanks of Western Front's 20th and 31st Armies' struck hard at the defensive positions of German XXXIX Panzer Corps along and north of the Vazusa and Osuga Rivers northeast of the vital German rail head of Sychevka. It's happens that Pi Btl 62 was within the framework of XXXIX Pz Korps.
OoB of XXXIX Panzer Corps as November 20, 1942.
