[QUOTE=Al-muell]There were no special Komsomol members squads serving as a special military units.QUOTE]
I think there were. In a movie "One Two Soldiers Went" the unit commander reports that his all-Komsomol unit is lined up in a formation. Also, one paratroop officer in his me***rs mentioned that the airborne division where he served was elite. Everyone in this division was specially selected and was Komsomol or Party member.
After the war, Komsomol became an organization that everyone joined in school. One couldn't go to college in USSR if he wasn't a member of Komsomol!
