When it arrived in 2nd Belorussian Front in late January the Soviet offensive into Poland and eastern Germany was already well underway and the rebuilt divisions of 19th Army were committed into the fighting for East Pomerania and West Prussia.

40th Guards Corps was redeployed to the Oder River as the final offensive on Germany was beginning in mid-April and was reassigned to the 2nd Shock Army, but was largely retained as a Front reserve and saw little combat in those last weeks of the war.

Following the German surrender the 101st Guards, along with the rest of 2nd Shock, served briefly in the Soviet occupation zone but within months returned to northern Russia where it was disbanded in mid-1946.

Following the Petsamo–Kirkenes Offensive, which ended in late October 1944, the 14th was moved to the Reserve of the Supreme High Command along with the rest of the forces of the disbanded Karelian Front.

After concentrating, the armies of 2nd Belorussian would attack toward Köslin and reach the Baltic coast, then turn to the northeast and east and capture the cities of Danzig and Gdynia.

Meanwhile Rokossovskii ordered the 19th Army and 3rd Guards Tank Corps, which constituted his reserve, to begin moving to the left of his attacking forces, with the 19th concentrating in the Chojnice–Lubiewo–Tuchel area by February 21.

[10] Following a 40-minute artillery preparation 19th Army launched its assault in the direction of Köslin and broke through the defense along the entire sector, overcoming stubborn resistance and counterattacks by German armor.

The following day, assisted by the tanks and cavalry, 19th Army captured Schlochau, Stegers and Hammerstein after a further advance of up to 22km, with the armor operating as much as 30km forward of the rifle divisions.

At this point the 19th Army's commander, Lt. Gen. G. K. Kozlov, began to lose control of his battle as communications became disrupted, marching units fell behind and the artillery lagged due to poor road conditions.

Kozlov spent February 27 largely in putting his forces in order while attacking toward Prechlau in conjunction with 70th Army while also beating off up to 24 counterattacks from German tanks and infantry.

The fighting for the town continued until March 3 when it finally fell and 19th Army advanced an additional 20km during the day, reaching the area north of Pollnow.

[12] On April 5 the 101st Guards would be awarded the Order of the Red Star for its role in the battle for Rummelsburg; this was an unusual decoration for a rifle division as it was normally given to smaller units.

The troops who participated in the liberation of Gdynia, by the order of the Supreme High Command of 28 March 1945, and a commendation in Moscow, are given a salute of 20 artillery salvoes from 224 guns.

[18] After the East Pomeranian operation concluded on March 31 the 2nd Belorussian Front was redeployed to the lower Oder River for the final offensive into central Germany.

Plans were made to clear Usedom and Rügen Islands but these proved to be unnecessary and the Corps remained in reserve, seeing little combat and ending the war on the Baltic coast.

11097, part 6, dated May 29 the division, along with 40th Guards Corps and the remainder of 2nd Shock Army, was transferred to 1st Belorussian Front which became the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany effective June 10.
