Soviet Naval Brigade

Description

Front: The hardened sailors of the Baltic and Black Sea Fleets took to landto help drive the German invaders from the Motherland. Such was their fiercereputation their enemies quickly named them ‘The Black Death’…
The Soviet Baltic Fleet and most of the Black Sea Fleet were bottled up inharbour by the German advance. In Leningrad, the ships of the Red Banner fleetbecame anti-aircraft platforms and long-range artillery for the duration of thesiege.
This freed up large numbers of sailors to serve as desperately needed riflemen,often still dressed in their black naval uniform with its distinctive cap andstriped shirt. The Germans called them the ‘black death’ because of theirblack or dark blue uniforms and their fearsome prowess on the battlefield.
In total, about 350,000 Red Navy sailors fought on land during the GreatPatriotic War. A number of specialized naval infantry units were formed:40 brigades and five regiments. They won a reputation for tenacity and daringboth in defensive fighting and in coastal landing operations on the Baltic andBlack seas.
