The 276th Rifle Division became the 60th Guards Rifle Division on 3rd January 1943 after being awarded the Guards title for their heroic actions at Stalingrad.
During the period of 19th to 25th December 1942 the Division captured 827 Germans and also destroyed over 2000. The Germans in the citation seem to have had a lucky Christmas present in comparison.
The locations given would suggest that the Division were pushing down southward from the north.
