Operation Spring Awakening (German: Unternehmen Frühlingserwachen) was the last major German offensive of World War II. The operation was referred to in Germany as the Plattensee Offensive and in the Soviet Union as the Balaton Defensive Operation. It took place in Western Hungary on the Eastern Front and lasted from 6 March until 15 March 1945. The objective was to secure the last significant oil reserves still available to the European Axis powers and prevent the Red Army from advancing towards Vienna. The Germans failed in their objectives. The operation, initially planned for 5 March, began after German units were moved in great secrecy to the Lake Balaton (Plattensee) area. Many German units were involved, including the 6th Panzer Army and its subordinate Waffen-SS divisions after being withdrawn from the failed Ardennes offensive on the Western Front. The Germans attacked in three prongs: Frühlingserwachen in the Balaton-Lake Velence-Danube area, Eisbrecher south of Lake Balaton, and Waldteufel south of the Drava-Danube triangle. The advance stalled on 15 March, and on 16 March the Red Army and allied units began their delayed Vienna offensive.

A rifle corps (Russian: стрелковый корпус, romanized: strelkovyy korpus) was a Soviet corps-level military formation during the mid-twentieth century. Rifle corps were made up of a varying number of rifle divisions, although the allocation of three rifle divisions to a rifle corps was common during the latter part of World War II. Unlike army corps formed by Germany and the Western Allies, Soviet rifle corps were composed primarily of combat troops and had only a small logistical component. Because the rifle divisions themselves were also primarily made up of combat troops, the rifle corps were numerically smaller than corps of other nations. The Soviets also formed Guards rifle corps during World War II, although these were often assigned control of regular rifle divisions and sometimes controlled no Guards rifle divisions. The Red Army as a whole had 27 rifle corps headquarters in its order of battle on 1 June 1938; this had been expanded to 62 by June 1941. When Germany invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, the Red Army initially had some 32 rifle corps headquarters as part of their order of battle in action against the Germans. Because Joseph Stalin's prewar purge of the Red Army had removed so many experienced leaders, the rifle corps echelon of command in Soviet forces engaged against the Germans dwindled in the face of massive Red Army losses of 1941. The stark shortage of experienced leaders forced the Red Army to have rifle army headquarters directly supervising rifle divisions without the assistance of intervening rifle corps headquarters. The use of rifle corps headquarters never disappeared entirely from the Red Army during World War II, as field armies in areas not fighting the Germans (such as the Far East) maintained their use of rifle corps headquarters during the entire war. An example of wartime rifle corps organization is that of the 8th Estonian Rifle Corps in 1942: 8th Rifle Corps 7th Rifle Division 249th Rifle Division 85th Corps Artillery Regiment 36th Sapper Battalion 86th Medical Battalion 482nd Reconnaissance Company 162nd Machine Gun Battalion Of the 8th Rifle Corps' 1942 strength of 26,466 men, only 2,599 (less than 10 per cent) made up the corps headquarters and corps assets, the remainder being assigned to the two rifle divisions. By November 1941, the Soviet order of battle showed only one rifle corps headquarters still active among the forces fighting the German invasion. By early 1942, however, the Soviets began to reactivate rifle corps headquarters for use as an intermediate command echelon between the rifle armies and rifle divisions. Doubtlessly, the direct command of divisions by army headquarters resulted in too-large spans of control for army commanders and the Red Army desired to reintroduce the rifle corps headquarters once enough experienced commanders and staff officers were available. By the end of 1942, 21 rifle corps headquarters were in action with Soviet forces engaging the Germans. This grew to over 100 by the end of 1943, and reached a peak of 174 either in action against the Germans or as part of the strategic reserve of the Stavka by the end of the war with Germany in May 1945. Circa September 1945, the 11, 15, 16, 21, 22, 25, 28, 36, 42, 43, 44, 47, 51, 52, 55, 61, 62, 64, 67, 68, 70, 71, 74, 77, 80, 89, 91, 93, 95, 96, 98, 100, 106, 115, 117, 118, 120, 121, 133, and 135th Rifle Corps were disbanded. A limited number of Rifle Corps remained as part of the Ground Forces post 1945. They were converted to 'Army Corps' in 1955 though they still mostly consisted of Rifle and then Motor Rifle Divisions.

It is part of the 8th Guards Combined Arms Army, which was reformed in 2017, in the Southern Military District. Its Red Army predecessor fought on the Eastern Front of World War II from 1941 to 1945. It gained fame when its soldiers raised the Soviet flag over the Reichstag on May 2, 1945. The nickname ‘Idritskaya’ was given to the Soviet division on July 23, 1944, by the order № 207 for its heroic battle in the town of Idritsa. The division fought at Schneidemühl and Berlin.

The 152nd Rifle Division was originally formed as an infantry division of the Red Army in October 1939 in the Transbaikal Military District, based on the shtat (table of organization and equipment) of the previous month. After remaining in that District through 1940 it was moving to the west in June 1941 as part of 16th Army when the German invasion began. Shortly after arriving at the fighting front it was pocketed by forces of Army Group Center west of Smolensk, along with most of its Army. The division fought in semi-encirclement through the latter half of July under this command, mostly in abortive efforts to recapture the city, suffering heavy casualties, before its remnants were able to withdraw across the Dniepr River in the first days of August. After several weeks rebuilding in reserve it rejoined 16th Army for an abortive offensive toward Dukhovshchina in early September. In anticipation of a further German offensive on Moscow the 152nd was again moved to the reserve as part of Group Boldin, but was badly placed to intervene effectively against the penetration of 3rd Panzer Group. With the fall of Vyazma on October 7 it was encircled and attempted to break out over the following days, but only remnants were successful, and on November 10 it was disbanded. A new 152nd was designated in January 1942 in the South Ural Military District. Once formed it was moved by rail to Karelian Front, arriving as an offensive was launched against German/Finnish forces west of Murmansk. In the process of joining 14th Army it was caught by extreme weather on the open tundra and suffered heavy casualties from exposure. It remained on this sector until January 1943 when it made another long-distance move, now to 6th Army in Southwestern Front. It remained on the defense east of the Donets River into August, when it took part in the offensive that retook the Donbas region before heading toward the Dniepr in the Dnipro area. In mid-October it staged a successful crossing of the river and soon received the name of that city as a battle honor, as well as the Order of the Red Banner, while several men, including the division's commander, became Heroes of the Soviet Union. After a couple of months in 1st Guards Army it was reassigned to 46th Army in the renamed 3rd Ukrainian Front for the winter battles in the great bend of the Dniepr. After advancing toward the estuary of the Dniestr River in March as part of 8th Guards Army it was sent north to Belarus to join 28th Army in 1st Belorussian Front for the summer offensive. During Operation Bagration it was on the extreme left flank of the initial offensive and fought into the Pinsk Marshes, separating the German 9th and 2nd Armies, and advancing on Baranavichy, winning the Order of Suvorov in the process. After the capture of Brest it moved with its Army back to the Reserve of the Supreme High Command and then to 3rd Belorussian Front on the border of East Prussia. During the offensive in January 1945 it forced its way through the strong German defenses, helping to cut off the capital city of Königsberg. In March it played a major role in eliminating the group of German forces pocketed southwest of that city and was given the rare award of the Order of Lenin. 28th Army again entered the Reserve of the Supreme High Command and was now transferred to 1st Ukrainian Front, arriving as the final campaign was reaching its climax. The 152nd helped complete the encirclement of German 9th Army south of Berlin, and then pushed into the city itself in the last days of the battle. After a unique and distinguished combat path that moved from the Arctic to the south of Ukraine and all the way to Berlin the division was moved to Belarus, where it was disbanded in February 1947.

The 151st Rifle Division was originally formed as an infantry division of the Red Army on September 9, 1939, in the Kharkov Military District, based on the shtat (table of organization and equipment) of later that month. At the outbreak of the war it was still in this District, attempting to build up to wartime strength as part of the 67th Rifle Corps. It was immediately ordered to move west and concentrate with its Corps in the Gomel region and by July 2 it was assigned to 21st Army in Western Front, although it was briefly detached to 13th Army. On July 23 it joined Central Front with the 21st, after which it became encircled near Gomel and forced to break out at a heavy cost in casualties and equipment. The remnants were moved east to join Bryansk Front but by mid-September it was clear that local resources were not available to rebuild it, and the division was disbanded to provide replacements for other units in the Front. A new 151st was formed just over a month later in Azerbaijan as part of the Transcaucasian Military District, based on a reserve rifle regiment. After spending the first seven months of 1942 forming up and then guarding the Turkish border as part of 45th Army, it was ordered north as German forces pressed east in their summer offensive. By mid-August it was in the 9th Army of Transcaucasus Front, defending along the Terek River against elements of 1st Panzer Army.
