In early 1941, it was selected for conversion to a motorized infantry division, but in fact, it had received little in the way of vehicles by the start of the German invasion and so was a rifle division in all but name.

On August 25 it was officially reorganized as a regular rifle division. </p><p>During September it was substantially rebuilt with a large influx of conscripts. When the Army Group Center launched Operation Typhoon in the first days of October the division was forced to retreat into the <a href="/wiki/Valdai_Hills" title="Valdai Hills">Valdai Hills</a>, where it became part of Vatutin's Operational Group and within days <a href="/wiki/Kalinin_Front" title="Kalinin Front">Kalinin Front</a>.

In the last stages of the German offensive on Moscow in November it was on the right flank of <a href="/wiki/30th_Army_(Soviet_Union)" title="30th Army (Soviet Union)">30th Army</a> on the north bank of the <a href="/wiki/Volga" title="Volga">Volga River</a> and then went over to the counteroffensive on December 6, driving south to recapture <a href="/wiki/Klin,_Klinsky_District,_Moscow_Oblast" title="Klin, Klinsky District, Moscow Oblast">Klin</a>, which happened on December 15.

It was badly damaged in a German counterattack in July 1942, and in November/December took part in an abortive advance up the valley of the Luchesa River.

In the concluding phase of Operation Bagration it earned a second honorific during the fighting near Warsaw. At the start of the Vistula-Oder Offensive in January 1945 the 47th Army initially played a secondary role, but despite this three of the 185th's regiments soon won battle honors of their own, and for taking <a href="/wiki/Pi%C5%82a" title="Piła">Schneidemühl</a> two regiments received decorations. Following the battles in Pomerania in February and March the division as a whole was awarded the <a href="/wiki/Order_of_Suvorov" title="Order of Suvorov">Order of Suvorov</a>.

Despite this latter shortage, the division was unusually strong in numbers for this period of the war. However, most of these men were again poorly trained conscripts filling the ranks around a much smaller cadre of experienced soldiers. As a result, "its performance at Kalinin can only be termed lacklustre." Vatutin directed the division to complete concentration in the area of Svyatsevo, B. Petrovo, and Budovo on the morning of October 17. <i>STAVKA</i> Directive No. 003053, dated 1830 hours the same day, established Kalinin Front, under command of Col. Gen. <a href="/wiki/Ivan_Konev" title="Ivan Konev">I. S.

The following day the panzers, along with the 900th <i>Lehr</i> Brigade, began crossing the bridge they had seized over the Volga, as the first stage of a grandiose plan to link up with Army Group North through the Valdai Hills, which would encircle Northwestern Front. This plan not only disregarded the continuing resistance of Red Army forces, but also the state of the roads and the logistical shoestring the German forces were operating on. The latter was worsened when the 21st Tank Brigade launched a surprise raid on the supply lines south of the city on October 17.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p> At 0600 hours the same day, 1st Panzer and 900th Lehr began their drive up the Kalinin–Torzhok road and made steady progress through the morning.

In the event, not only was this objective taken but the panzer column pressed on to the village of Marino, 14km farther along. Only a depleted tank regiment of 8th Tank Brigade was providing any resistance before being withdrawn to the northeast, uncovering the road. Once he learned of this, Konev "hit the ceiling" and demanded Rotmistrov's arrest for cowardice.

The 183rd Division had already moved through Torzhok, and its leading elements were fighting in the Marino area. Lt. Colonel Vindushev had led his men to positions about 16km north of Mednoye, with the two cavalry divisions ahead of them. Altogether, Vatutin's Group consisted of about 20,000 men (of which the 185th made up more than half), 200 guns and mortars, and twenty operational tanks. Its opponents had far fewer men, strung out over 54km of road, low on fuel and ammunition, and partly encircled. Vatutin gave orders for a general attack at dawn on October 18; the 185th and 8th Tanks would make a joint attack due south toward Mednoye. Although the <a href="/wiki/18th_Guards_Motor_Rifle_Division" title="18th Guards Motor Rifle Division">133rd Rifle Division's</a> attack northeast of Kalinin cut the road at its base early on, the 185th was late in reaching its jumping-off positions and the 8th Tanks was still reorganizing near Likhoslavl. On the same day Vatutin's Group came under command of 31st Army. In his evening report to <i>STAVKA</i>, Konev stated that the 185th was "marching on Torzhok"; this was flatly false, as were many other statements in this document.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p> By 0800 hours on October 19 the XXXXI Corps reported that the situation of 1st Panzer was "critical"; it and 900th <i>Lehr</i> would be forced to abandon Marino. At Mednoye, one Soviet account states that the 1319th Rifle Regiment, supported by a tank regiment of 8th Tanks, made use of the cover of fog to attack from woods north of the town, taking the defenders by surprise. Despite bombing by the <i>Luftwaffe</i> after the weather cleared, Mednoye was taken by 1400 hours, releasing 500 Red Army men who had been captured. However, Vatutin's orders to Vindushev are somewhat contradictory:<link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712" /></p><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>185th Rifle Division and 8th Tank Brigade will forced march by dawn 19.10 to get to the area of Likhoslavl, Ilinskoye, Ivantsevo, from there make a rapid strike on Mednoye, the objective, working closely with 183rd Rifle Division, to destroy the enemy west of Mednoye not allowing him to withdraw from the attack of 183rd Rifle Division to the east. Going further, building on the success, by the end of the day take Poddubke.</p></blockquote><p>Given that the distance from Likhoslavl to Mednoye is 19km, it's doubtful that any attack was made at dawn. None of this can be reconciled with the records of 1st Panzer, which state: "Also on the evening of 19 October, the division does not want to give up Mjednoje [Mednoye] yet, since the enemy is not active there, and reconnaissance reports the area 5-8km around as free of the enemy."<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Before dawn on October 20 the 1st Motorcycle Battalion of 1st Panzer was attacked from north and south, taking heavy losses in both machines and men.

This action cut off 900th <i>Lehr</i>, which was withdrawing from Marino, from 1st Panzer. The brigade was directed to attempt a "do or die" breakout from Mednoye through the area between the Torzhok road and the Tma River, all with minimal fuel and ammunition. The spearhead of 1st Panzer was reporting that it was no longer able to attack and would require rest before it could break out of encirclement.

This was part of an impractical plan intended to fulfil Konev's earlier "large solution" of encircling all of XXXXI Corps. That these orders were probably not issued is reflected in the fact that shortly after the 185th was moved to 30th Army <i>without</i> the 8th Tanks. This Army's next task was to retake Kalinin itself with attacks from the northeast, north and southeast. During October 21 some remnants of 1st Panzer managed to escape the pocket, after destroying all their vehicles except the tanks, and the pocketed forces were within 3km of Kalinin, being supported by shuttle flights of <a href="/wiki/Junkers_Ju_87" title="Junkers Ju 87">Ju 87</a> dive bombers to keep the Soviet forces at bay.

It was still by far the strongest division he had available, and 30th Army would have no real chance to retake Kalinin without it.

Gen. <a href="/wiki/Vasily_Yushkevich" title="Vasily Yushkevich">V. A. Yushkevich</a> and consisted of about 80,000 personnel, as well as 270 tanks due to the presence of the <a href="/wiki/20th_Guards_Motor_Rifle_Division" title="20th Guards Motor Rifle Division">3rd Mechanized Corps</a>. The Army faced relatively weak defenses along the valley of the Luchesa River held by the 216th Grenadier Regiment of the <a href="/wiki/86th_Infantry_Division_(Wehrmacht)" title="86th Infantry Division (Wehrmacht)">86th Infantry Division</a> of XXXXI Panzer Corps and the 252nd Grenadier Regiment of the <a href="/wiki/110th_Infantry_Division_(Wehrmacht)" title="110th Infantry Division (Wehrmacht)">110th Infantry Division</a> of <a href="/wiki/XXIII_Army_Corps_(Wehrmacht)" title="XXIII Army Corps (Wehrmacht)">XXIII Army Corps</a>. Yushkevich's characteristic plan was to attack at the boundary between the two divisions while also staging a demonstration attack with his <a href="/wiki/362nd_Rifle_Division_(Soviet_Union)" class="mw-redirect" title="362nd Rifle Division (Soviet Union)">362nd Rifle Division</a>. The Army carried out an extensive regrouping prior to the start of the offensive, moving up the 3rd Mechanized while Colonel Andriushchenko concentrated his 280th and 1319th Rifle Regiments on a 2km-wide sector just south of the Luchesa, leaving the 257th to cover the remainder of the division's sector, which extended 15km to the north. The two regiments, flanked by the <a href="/wiki/238th_Rifle_Division" title="238th Rifle Division">238th Rifle Division</a> to the south, were to attack early in the morning of November 25, penetrate the German defenses, and clear a passage for the mechanized forces to advance up the valley.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The terrain facing the Army was formidable. The river was narrow and winding, flanked on both sides by heavy forests and frozen swamps. There was one improved track that followed the river and few tracks to follow through the forests. The nearest real road was that which linked Olenino to Bely, almost 20km from the front. The artillery preparation began at 0730 hours and shortly before 0900 the men of the 185th went into the attack. While the artillery had been effective in many places, the scattered nature of the German strongpoint defense made it impossible to eliminate every position. Thus, while some forward battalions made good progress, others were held up by fire from undestroyed German bunkers. Moreover, the tank support provided by 3rd Mechanized, which amounted to a tank company for each assaulting rifle battalion, was uneven due to the terrain and uncleared minefields. During the first hours the two regiments pushed through the forward defenses, but then came up on a number of fortified villages in open ground which slowed the advance. At noon the 1st Guards Tank Brigade came up to provide support, which allowed the 185th's regiments to gain another 1,000m, but a limited attack by the 257th north of the Luchesa made no progress at all. At dusk, Andriushchenko halted the assault, and made preparations to cross the river northward in the morning to seize the fortified town of Grivo.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At dawn on the following day, after another artillery preparation, the assault was renewed. The 280th Regiment made an attack across the frozen Luchesa and obtained a foothold on the north bank. This success forced the defenders to leave their forward positions and withdraw in good order to Grivo. As the 280th approached it was met with heavy fire from small arms, machine guns, and mortars, while artillery fire blasted its ranks. 1st Guards Tanks struggled to cross the river and fell behind, and without their support the infantry assault faltered by noon. At the same time, the 1319th Regiment, backed by most of 1st Guards Tanks, penetrated the positions south of the river and began a slow advance on both sides of the "road" to Starukhi. This came to a halt halfway to the village when the regiment was struck by a heavy counterattack by newly-arrived German motorized infantry. The two sides traded territory through the rest of the day, while the tanks suffered heavy losses. Toward dusk the 1st Guards commander, Maj. Gen. <a href="/wiki/Mikhail_Katukov" title="Mikhail Katukov">M. Ye. Katukov</a>, withdrew the brigade to regroup and recombine with the vehicles that had crossed the river. The fresh German troops turned out to be the 2nd Battalion of the Grenadier Regiment of <a href="/wiki/Panzergrenadier_Division_Gro%C3%9Fdeutschland" title="Panzergrenadier Division Großdeutschland"><i>Großdeutschland</i> Motorized Division</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Early on November 27 the 22nd Army finally began experiencing some success. The 280th resumed its attack on Grivo, now without tanks, but now the concentrated 1st Guards Tanks, joined by the 3rd Mechanized Brigade, forced aside the grenadiers along the Starukhi road with the help of the 1319th, eventually reaching the outskirts of the town which was also heavily defended. The 1319th now forced a small lodgement across the river south of Grivo. Meanwhile, the 238th Division pushed the German forces back into the village of Karskaya while 49th Tank Brigade raced into the open country south of Starukhi until they were halted north of Goncharovo by further German reinforcements. General Yushkevich believed that the penetration was finally occurring but by nightfall the advance had once again been halted by stiffening resistance.<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Kalinin Front expected a decisive attack on November 28 that would clear the Luchesa valley and drive to the Olenino–Bely road, but the arrival of <i>Großdeutschland</i> turned the battle into a two-day vicious slugfest. An overnight regrouping was hindered by driving snow, and the planned attack was delayed until noon. Early on November 29 both sides attacked virtually simultaneously. North of the river the two regiments of the 185th failed to take Grivo. Despite this setback the remaining forces of 22nd Army drove the defenders to the point of collapse, and the commanders of the two German corps set about scraping up every available reserve to contain the attack. On the other hand, Yushkevich had lost almost half of his original 270 tanks destroyed, and losses in the 185th and 238th were over 50 percent.<sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Despite his misgivings, Yushkevich issued new orders in the early hours of December 1 to renew the attack at dawn in a staggered manner with all his forces following the strongest artillery preparation he could muster. By now the operation had clearly failed on other some other sectors but the overall commander of the operation, Army Gen. <a href="/wiki/Georgy_Zhukov" title="Georgy Zhukov">G. K. Zhukov</a>, was determined to persist with any and all successes achieved to date. 1st Guards Tanks would lead the attack across the river in the direction of Vasiltsovo, with support from infantry of the 3rd Mechanized. The 1319th Regiment, with a battalion of 1st Mechanized Brigade, would advance on the left of the spearhead, and most of the rest of 3rd Mechanized Corps on its right. All movement was hampered by heavy new snowfall. In fighting whose intensity exceeded that of the previous days, 22nd Army made steady but bloody progress. The mixed infantry and armor force bashed its way out of the Luchesa valley, captured Travino, and drove the defenders to a new line running east from Grivo. The 257th Regiment joined the assault and made a small advance to the north of the 280th.<sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Over the next two days Yushkevich stuck to his plan. On December 2 he committed his last reserves, a rifle brigade and a tank regiment to strengthen the forward formations. Andriushchenko was ordered to throw his entire division against the defenses north and east of Grivo. By dusk on December 3 this finally succeeded and the German battlegroup "Lindemann" abandoned the village, falling back to a shorter line 4km to the rear. This withdrawal gave Yushkevich a chance to move additional forces to his right flank, which was now within 2km of the Olenino road, but each time he extended this flank it came up against German reinforcements arriving in the nick of time. By now, 22nd Army was effectively burned out, with well under 100 tanks operational and infantry losses at 60 percent. Zhukov, however, was still demanding that the road be taken.<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Yushkevich planned to resume his attack at 0900 hours on December 7. However, before dawn on December 6 German motorized reinforcements began arriving along the highway. The counterattack that followed threw 22nd Army completely off balance and drove it back to 6km distance from the highway; most of the Army's sparse reserves were consumed in efforts to regain lost positions. Nevertheless, he was ordered to carry out his planned attack the next morning, which predictably failed. The efforts continued until December 11 when Zhukov called a halt. The 185th was pulled back on December 10 after suffering 4,189 killed and wounded. Yushkevich was removed from command on December 15, replaced by Maj. Gen. D. M. Seleznev. The next day this officer noted the movement of German reserves northward from Bely as the Red Army forces in that sector had been defeated. During the rest of the month German forces attempted to drive 22nd Army back to its starting positions, but this effort ended on January 1, 1943, with most of the Luchesa salient still in Soviet hands.<sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>40<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Battle_of_Nevel">Battle of Nevel</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=185th_Rifle_Division&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Battle of Nevel"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div><p> In a report by Lt.
