History

The 7th Assault Aviation Corps was formed on 21 July 1943 from the 10th Mixed Aviation Corps.[1] The corps included the 206th and the 289th Assault Aviation Divisions. From mid-July, the corps fought in the Mius Offensive, the destruction of the German forces around Taganrog, the recapture of the Donbass, and the offensive to the Molochnaya. In October, the corps fought in the breakthrough of German defenses on the Molochnaya and the pursuit of Axis troops to the Dnieper.Шаблон:Sfn


During January and February 1944, as part of the 8th Air Army of the 4th Ukrainian Front, the corps fought in the elimination of the Nikopol bridgehead and supported the ground troops of the 3rd Guards Army in the recapture of Nikopol and the securing of a bridgehead on the right bank of the Dnieper. In April, the corps fought in the breakthrough of Axis defenses on the Perekop isthmus and Sivash, and from 10 April to 10 May supported ground troops in the recapture of Sevastopol during the Crimean Offensive. It received the Sevastopol honorific on 10 May for the "massive heroism" of its aviators in the "liquidation of the last Hitlerite center of resistance in Crimea."Шаблон:Sfn

In August, the corps was relocated to the 14th Air Army of the 3rd Baltic Front, where it fought in fierce battles on the Tartu and Riga axis. The 7th ShAK was then transferred to the 1st Baltic Front, joining the 3rd Air Army, where until late in the year it fought in fierce battles on the Memel, Tilsit and Libava axis. Until the end of the war, the corps supported the 1st and 2nd Baltic Fronts in the destruction of the Courland Pocket. The corps was withdrawn to the Reserve of the Supreme High Command on 16 April 1945.Шаблон:Sfn During the campaign in the Baltic, the corps flew 16,450 combat sorties and was credited with the destruction of 312 tanks and self-propelled guns, 533 anti-aircraft guns, 6,415 vehicles, 23 steam locomotives, 200 wagons, 724 field and anti-tank artillery guns, 208 aircraft, and inflicting 11,835 casualties on Axis personnel.

From July to September 1945, the corps was relocated to the Lvov Military District as part of the 14th Air Army. The corps was renumbered as the 68th Assault Aviation Corps on 10 January 1949.[2]
