35th Guards Rifle Corps

The 35th Guards Rifle Corps (Russian: 35-й гвардейский стрелковый корпус) was a rifle corps of the Red Army during World War II that became part of the Soviet Army during the Cold War.

At this time, due to the arrival of replacements, the three divisions of the corps had between roughly 8,400 and 9,300 men each, and were at approximately 77 to 87 percent of their authorized strength.

Developing the offensive, the corps reached the Dnieper in late September, assault-crossing the river and capturing a bridgehead on the right bank.

Subsequently, with the 7th Guards and then the 27th Armies of the 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts, the corps fought in the Kirovograd, Uman–Botoșani, Jassy–Kishinev, Debrecen, Budapest, Vienna, and Prague Offensives, capturing Kirovograd, Tulchyn, Ploiești, Cluj, Szolnok, Eger, Zalaegerszeg, and Bratislava.
