Podv. Gruppa Tyurina

 is a Soviet division in Steel Division II. Since the 2nd Belorussian Front was deprived of any corps-level tank forces, its commander decided to create its own for exploitation purposes - Manoeuver Group Tyurin.

Named after General Tyurin who commanded it, this mechanized formation is cobbled together from various units, including the 157th Rifle Division, and as a result, is strong in infantry. Not only that, two additional tank brigades (23rd and 256th) are available, bringing some T-34/76’s but also lend-lease Stuarts, and even a handful of T-4’s (captured Panzer IV F1) to the battlefield.

The manoeuver group also contains a handful of elite assault engineers-sappers, a sizable amount of anti-tank guns, and SU-85 tank destroyers. Manoeuver Group Tyurin is the Red Army’s equivalent to a well-equipped Wehrmacht Panzergrenadier division.
