trained to used their bicycles to get to the battle,
but one there they engaged the enemy on foot
like any other infantry. During the winter of
1942-43 they were retrained as sky troops to
further increase their mobility in the harsh
Russian climate. They also used their skill and
mobility to spy-out the enemy positions.

ers. These medium guns were used normally to
support the lighter artillery when a little extra
punch was required. With each Corps taking
charge of its own fronts reserves a few batter-
ies could be called on to support any counter-
attacks from the reserve forces.
