Creation History
On January 17, 1945, the organizational department of the General Staff of the OKH ordered the formation of the 2nd Russian Division (650th Infantry) in the training ground in Heuberg (Württemberg). At the disposal of the headquarters of the division were transferred 427, 600 and 642-th East. bat-ny from the Western Front, 667th Eastern Bat'n and 111th Bat'n of the 714th Russian Grenadier Regiment from Denmark, the 851st construction bahn and others. For manning l / s and artillery materiel The regiment of the division served the 621st Eastern Artillery Division. L / s was replenished by prisoners of war, and the officer corps - from graduates of the POA officer school . 13,000 people
On April 19, without completing the formation, the 2nd Division left the Heuberg training ground in Wüthtemberg to move to the assembly area of all POA forces, to Bohemia . Rifle regiments did not receive either guns or mortars, and even machine guns were not fully equipped.
The ROA 2nd Division, commanded by Zverev, together with the Maltsev Air Corps and other reserve formations (about 22,000 men in all) reached Fürstenfeldbruck, west of Munich. From here they were taken by train to Lienz, and they moved north to meet at Prague. By May 4, Zverev's troops were on their way to Prague, between Badvays and Strakonitsy. The nearest enemy troops were not the Red Army, which was still quite far to the east, in Slovakia, but the American 3rd Army of General Patton , already standing on the borders of the Czech Republic.
In late April, Zverev, with his division, left Linz to the north, towards Prague. With him was Fyodor Trukhin , chief of the Vlasov staff. None of them knew about Bunyachenko ’s intentions to help the Czechs, and on May 5 they began negotiations with the Americans to surrender. The Americans gave them thirty-six hours to come to the designated place and lay down their arms.
General Zverev with the forward detachments was in Kaplitsa, far from the division. There was despair among the Vlasovites. The eldest of the remaining officers of the division, General Meander , decided that he could not break the deadline set by the Americans, and led all the troops through the front - to surrender. Zverev was unable to make decisions: his front-line wife killed herself, and he refused to move away from her body. In the end, he and his people were captured by Soviet troops, and Zverev was taken to Moscow . Only one regiment of the division managed to escape, having had time to move west and join Meandrov .
