From the Arctic Circle to the shores of Japan, Russia's most famous naval scout describes his deadly missions in the Soviet Navy's World War II version of the U.S. Navy's SEALs. Viktor Leonov tells how these elite recon troops acquired their special skills--initially in actual combat--to beat Hitler's formidable 20th Mountain Army, which occupied Russia's Scandinavian borders and threatened the ports receiving crucial American Convoys. Dressed in white, their weapons concealed in white sacks, these naval commandos employed methods as diverse as skiing, navigation by azimuth, parachute and submarine insertions, and climbing icy cliffs to carry out their operations in the polar nights. Whether raiding, capturing German officers, organizing partisan activities, or vectoring air strikes, the scouts exhibited the exceptional operational security, surprise, and daring that ultimately drove the Germans out of Norway and Finland and made the Russian commandos' exploits legendary throughout the North and the Far East. Viktor Nikolayevich Leonov (21 November [O.S. 8 November] 1916, in Zaraysk - 7 October 2003, in Moscow) was a Soviet Navy officer and twice Hero of the Soviet Union. Considered a legend in the Soviet era after the war, he frequently gave speeches to Communist organizations about the war, but he became obscure after the fall of the Soviet Union. Following the start of Operation Barbarossa in 1941, Leonov sent a report on his enrollment in the 181st Separate Reconnaissance Detachment of the Northern Fleet, in which he conducted about 50 combat operations in the rear of the enemy since 18 July 1941. In October 1944, during the Petsamo-Kirkenes Offensive, the naval scouts under the command of Leonov landed on the shore occupied by the Wehrmacht, and for two days made their way to the designated point in the harsh off-road conditions, unable to make fire in order to warm up and prepare food. On the morning of October 12, they suddenly attacked the 88-mm battery at Cape Krestovoy. They managed to capture it and also capture a large number of Nazi soldiers. When a boat with a Nazi soldiers attempted to make landing towards their position, Leonov along with a detachment of Ivan Barchenko-Yemelyanov repulsed the attacks, and captured about 60 enemy soldiers. This battle ensured the success of the Soviet landing in Liinakhamari, which led to capture of the port and city by Soviet forces. Thus, Leonov's detachment, by its actions, created favorable conditions for the landing of Soviet troops in the ice-free port of Liinakhamari and the subsequent liberation of Petsamo and Kirkenes. For doing so he was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union for the first time on 5 November 1944. After the defeat of Nazi Germany on May 1945, Leonov was assigned to the Far East where he took part in the Soviet-Japanese War in August 1945. As a front-line intelligence officer attached to the 140th Separate Reconnaissance Detachment of the Soviet Pacific Fleet headquarters, the unit under his command took part in the amphibious landing of the Soviet troops into Japanese-occupied Korea, where they landed at the port cities of Seishin, Genzan and Rajin-guyok, which are located at the northern portion of the Korean Peninsula. At the port city of Genzan, the naval scouts under Leonov's command were credited with capturing and disarming 200 officers and 3500 soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army in addition to capturing three artillery batteries, five aircraft and several ammunition depots. Leonov received the title Hero of the Sovi.…

Also includes chapters on Early Experiences; Strength Meets Strength; On Hill 415; A Rookie Arrives in the Detachment; In a Double Ring of Encirclement; Black Devils; Before the Decisive Blow; Face to Face; and Final Missions. Viktor Nikolayevich Leonov (21 November [O.S. 8 November] 1916, in Zaraysk - 7 October 2003, in Moscow) was a Soviet Navy officer and twice Hero of the Soviet Union. Considered a legend in the Soviet era after the war, he frequently gave speeches to Communist organizations about the war, but he became obscure after the fall of the Soviet Union. After the war, Leonov continued his military service in the Northern Fleet and in the Central Office of the Soviet Navy. In 1950 he graduated from the Caspian Higher Naval Red Banner School named after Sergei Kirov in Baku, Azerbaijan SSR, and in 1952, he was promoted to Captain 2nd Rank. At the port city of Wonsan, the naval scouts under Leonov's command were credited with capturing and disarming 200 officers and 3500 soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army in addition to capturing three artillery batteries, five aircraft and several ammunition depots. Leonov received the title Hero of the Soviet Union for the second time on 14 September 1945. From 1953 to 1956, he was a student of the Voroshilov Naval Academy in Leningrad. From 1957 to 1987, he worked as an engineer at the Research Institute of Petroleum Engineering in Moscow. From the Arctic Circle to the shores of Japan, Russia's most famous naval scout describes his deadly missions in the Soviet Navy's World War II version of the U.S. Navy's SEALs.

Zustand: Nuevo. En el otoño de 1944, alrededor de 56.000 alemanes del XIX Cuerpo de Montaña, al mando del general Ferdinand Jodl, ûhermano del mariscal Alfred Jodl- ocupaban una línea de fortificaciones a unos 70 kilómetros al noroeste de Murmansk, muy cerca del Círculo Polar Ártico. Para expulsar a estas fuerzas del territorio soviético, el Alto Mando soviético (STAVKA) ordenó al general K. A. Meretskov, del Frente de Carelia, que planificara y ejecutara una ofensiva, apoyada por la Flota del Norte bajo el mando del almirante A. G. Golovko. Con aproximadamente 96.000 soldados, el ejército soviético organizó una ofensiva con dos cuerpos de fusileros y dos fuerzas que atacasen los flancos germanos para rodearles y evitar su retirada, que incluían brigadas de infantería naval y cuerpos ligeros de fusileros. La ofensiva fue respaldada por más de 2.100 piezas de artillería y morteros, 110 tanques y una clara superioridad aérea. Tropas de ingenieros se infiltraron hasta 50 kilómetros detrás de las posiciones alemanas para realizar tareas de reconocimiento y sabotajes antes del ataque. El 7 de octubre de 1944, los soviéti.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Near the end of the Cold War, the possible use of Soviet special forces on NATO's Northern front was a significant concern. With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO, and Putin's belligerent comments about the need to reinforce Russia's northern border, these concerns are once again highly relevant. A Russian command confronting a multinational coalition in the Far North must seriously consider the use of deep strike with special forces to even the playing field early in a war. This document provides detailed information about the activities and operations of Soviet naval reconnaissance detachments during World War II. The detachments were special operations forces that conducted various missions, including raids, long-range reconnaissance, and sabotage activities. They faced challenges such as harsh weather conditions, German opposition, and coordination issues with other forces. The document highlights the importance of athletic prowess, political loyalty, and foreign language skills in the recruitment and selection process. It also mentions the involvement of covert intelligence agents and foreign nationals in the operations. Overall, the document emphasizes the bravery and resourcefulness of the reconnaissance detachments in carrying out their missions and provides valuable insights into the organization and experiences of Soviet naval special purpose forces during the war. This annotated edition illustrates the capabilities of the AI Lab for Book-Lovers to add context and ease-of-use to manuscripts. It includes five types of abstracts, building from simplest to more complex: TLDR (one word), ELI5, TLDR (vanilla), Scientific Style, and Action Items; three essays to increase viewpoint diversity: Grounds for Dissent, Red Team Critique, and MAGA Perspective; and Notable Passages and Nutshell Summaries for each page.…
