57th Separate Sapper (Red Banner) Battalion. So far the only reference I have found is in the Russian WIKI. Attached to the Ist Rifle Corp, translation as follows : On June 22, 1941, he was stationed in the village of Dziki near Bialystok . As part of the army from June 22, 1941 to July 6, 1942. June 22, 1941 managed to take positions in the Osovetsk fortified area near the village of Popki and until 12:00, used as a conventional infantry, restrained the enemy's attacks. By 19:00 the same day he went to the forest of Rogenica Velky. On the night of June 23, 1941, was withdrawn from the positions and transferred to the restoration of the destroyed crossings over the river Bobr near Vizny , where the headquarters of the corps was located. [1] On June 23, 1941, on the battalion's site, the enemy broke through to his positions and the sappers again held the enemy for several hours. [2] Destroyed at the end of June 1941, surrounded by Bialystok . July 6, 1941 disbanded. Can anyone else find a reference?
