The 122nd Rifle Division was formed as an infantry division of the Red Army on September 5, 1939, in the Oryol Military District, based on the shtat of that month. It was quickly moved west to the Byelorussian Military District but was still barely formed at the start of the Soviet invasion of Poland, and did not see combat. It was soon moved to North Karelia, where it took part in the Winter War as part of 9th Army. After capturing and pushing beyond the town of Salla it was forced to retreat back nearly to Märkäjärvi by Finnish counterattacks, and remained there for the duration. It was still in this region at the start of the Continuation War, now as part of the 14th Army of Northern Front. At the start July 1941 the German XXXVI Mountain Corps launched an offensive against the 122nd and its Corps-mate, the 104th Rifle Division, with the objective of reaching Kandalaksha and cutting the railway from Murmansk to the rest of the USSR. The divisions conducted a successful retrograde action over the following months, holding the German/Finnish forces well short of the railway when the offensive ended in September. The 122nd would remain on these lines into the autumn of 1944, briefly engaging German troops withdrawing into Lapland following the Finnish surrender. Karelia was now a strategic dead end, and in November 19th Army was removed to the Reserve of the Supreme High Command for reassignment of its units to the south. The division was first assigned 2nd Ukrainian Front in Romania, and then to 26th Army in 3rd Ukrainian Front for operations in Hungary. It arrived south of Budapest in mid-January 1945 and was quickly involved in the last German effort to relieve its besieged garrison. After helping to defeat the last German offensive in March it advanced, now with 57th Army, through the Hungarian oil fields, winning the Order of Kutuzov on the way toward Vienna. It was disbanded soon after the German surrender.
