The commander of the 783rd joint venture was major Rybakov, and after his death the regiment was commanded by art. Lieutenant Monarch ... Retreated to the don at night in the direction of the farm Lakhovsky-St. Surovikina. They could not cross the don river. The entire 783rd joint venture was captured along with the regiment. Lieutenant Monarch and other command staff... "(From the filtration case of V. F. Fedorov, a former prisoner of war, com. platoon of the 783rd joint venture, Yalutorovsk) " ... in the Morning at sunrise we heard the hum of engines and saw German tanks coming straight at us through the wheat. Tankers, standing in open hatches, showed their infantry where the Russian soldiers who were captured were hiding. They took our weapons and drove us to the village… And at night, the commander of the 1st company came running to us and said that we should shoot. But our company officer cut him off, so as not to spread panic. There was also a girl nurse. She started crying and asked to be shot. In the morning I saw that this girl was shot in the forehead, but which of the commanders killed her, I do not know. It remained lying in wheat, and about three thousands of us were driven into a ravine, entangled in one row with barbed wire... "(From the filtration case of V. G. Vasiliev, private 783rd SP 229th SD, Omutinsky district) From the letter of the head of the search team "VRMOO Search" Dmitry Kufenko: Yuri Vlasov and I are engaged in 229 SD and have been working on the site of the division's death for three years. 783 JV was immediately transferred to Surovikinsky district and fighting began for 783 JV near Kh.

The report was made later, as you can see on page 1 of this report, based on emails not received by the recipients. that's right, the rest of the documents were destroyed or lost during the retreat. another document that you probably looked at is the RVC summary. it was made later and the date was set from the list of losses by mistake.
