Can anyone give me a list of units that Vlasov commanded and where they were stationed at during his command, post-Barbarossa. My goal is to find out if Vlasov did command any unit at Sevastopol. Did he surrender at Sevastopol or Leningrad, because I have different sources that state different things. I have one source that says he surrendered at Sevastopol and one saying that he never fought in Sevastopol at all. Anyone know?
Repatriation — The Dark Side of World War II, Part 3 by Jacob G. Hornberger, April 1995 "Adolf Hitler did not trust Andrey Vlasov. The Russian general had served in the Russian army since the Russian Revolution. He had fought hard and valiantly in the successful defense of Moscow. It was only because of Stalin's refusal to permit Vlasov and his men to retreat during the subsequent battle at Leningrad that the German forces had defeated and captured Vlasov." What source states he was at Sebastopol? I have several that credit him with defensive actions at Moscow then in command of an army at Leningrad.
In 1938, already a major-general, Vlasov acted as Soviet Military Advisor to Chiang Kai-Shek in China. In December 1939, he returned to Russia and was given command of a division. During the war with Germany he commanded in turn a tank corps and an army, taking part in the battle of Kiev and in the defense of Moscow. In March, 1942 he became Deputy Commander of the Volkhov Front. In mid-June of 1942, the Soviet forces operating on the Volkhov River were surrounded in the woods and marshes, without food and supplies, and by the end of the month surrendered to the Germans. General Vlasov became a prisoner of war. I think Vlasov was not allowed any troops until late 1944 but I might be wrong: In July, 1944 a sudden turn occurred. Himmler, always a great enemy of General Vlasov and the Liberation Army, finally came to the conclusion that in the critical situation of the Reich it was worth while to try a course of policy different from the official one that had so far prevailed.The meeting between General Vlasov and Himmler was to take place on July 21st. But this date almost coincided with the attempt on Hitler's life; the meeting therefore took place two months later, on September 16th. It resulted in Himmler's consent to the creation of a new committee, called KONR - Committee for the Liberation of the People's of Russia, and the KONR Army under General Vlasov's command. To start with, 5 divisions were to be organized from among prisoners .... http://www.feldgrau.com/rvol.html
