The division was formed in November 1942 from the 76th K. E. Voroshilov Red Banner Rifle Division, converted into an elite Guards unit designated the 51st Guards Rifle Division for its actions in Operation Uranus during the Battle of Stalingrad. The 51st Guards fought in Operation Koltso at the end of the Battle of Stalingrad, receiving the Order of Lenin for its actions. The division went on to fight in the Battle of Kursk in 1943 and Operation Bagration in 1944, receiving the Vitebsk honorific for its performance in the Vitebsk\u2013Orsha offensive during the latter. The division advanced into Latvia in the \u0160iauliai offensive, ending the war blockading the Courland Pocket. Stationed in Latvia postwar, the division was converted into the 51st Guards Motor Rifle Division in 1957 and was disbanded in 1960 during reductions of Soviet conventional forces. Its personnel were retrained and formed the core of the new 29th Guards Rocket Division, which inherited the honors of the 51st Guards."@en . "Red Army"@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
