Could anyone please let me know where the 296th Guards Order of Kutuzov 3rd class Rifle Regiment in the 98th Guards Red Banner Svirsk Rifle Division was during March 1945.
I have a bravery medal awarded for actions on March 16 near height 207. It appears to be somewhere near Budapest based on the brief divisional history I have been able to acquire.
Thanks in advance,
Simon
P.S. This regiment appears to have originally been an airborne unit which was converted into a rifle regiment.
