20th Mechanized Corps (Soviet Union)

[4] Between 22 and 27 June the corps fought in battles in the Minsk area, unsuccessfully attempting to stop the German advance towards the city.

In the morning, the corps ran into the German 78th Infantry Division at the village of Samulki.

Supported by vehicles from an attached reconnaissance battalion, the corps fought on foot and attacked the German positions.

The perechen (list of Soviet units during World War II) does not state that the corps was disbanded,[14] although it lost most of its men during the battles in the Mogilev Pocket.
