• Comment: I have assessed all three sources. niehorster.org is WP:SELFPUB, thus an unreliable source, and is deemed not an military history expert (same policy paragraph). idiotvitebsk.net is not a reliable source due to probably a blog hosting site and the author not being a subject matter expert. The only reliable source is probably the cited book, which itself is not enough to prove general notability. A09|(talk) 15:59, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Formed in the Moscow Military District in June 1941, the 25th Tank Division initially faced the daunting challenges of the German Operation Barbarossa. It formed part of the 13th Mechanized Corps..^[1] Its early days were marked by intense battles, where the division experienced both setbacks and successes.

On June 22, 1941, the 13th Mechanized Corps was located on the southern front in the vicinity of Bialystok in the second echelon of Soviet troops.^[2]
