The 148th Rifle Division was formed as an infantry division of the Red Army on September 15, 1939, in the Volga 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, but was soon moving toward Gomel to join the 21st Army of Western Front. While still en route it was reassigned to 13th Army in the Mogilev area, and it would remain in this Army for most of the next two years. During the July fighting in this area it lost a rifle regiment and most of another, and was pulled back for rebuilding, but not far enough to prevent its front being penetrated in early August. Later that month the Army was transferred to the new Bryansk Front, and was tasked with the defense of the Desna River; the 148th was moved to the rebuilding 3rd Army, which was also part of this defense. After further losses near Novhorod-Siverskyi it was again moved to the reserves for replenishment. During the early stages of Operation Typhoon what remained of the 148th was encircled with its Army, but in the second week of October managed to stage a breakout and escaped being disbanded. It soon returned to 13th Army and spent all of 1942 on a relatively quiet sector, rebuilding and re-equipping. In early 1943 it took part in the encirclement of Axis forces near Kastornoye before advancing west toward Kursk and Oryol as part of Central Front, but it and the rest of 13th Army were halted before reaching the latter objective, and spent several months fortifying their positions in anticipation of the German summer offensive. When the attack came in July the division defended successfully in front of Maloarkhangelsk on its Army's right flank. When the Red Army went over to the counteroffensive the 148th advanced through northeastern Ukraine and won a battle honor in the process. In October it was transferred with its Army to 1st Ukrainian Front, and in November to 60th Army; it would remain under these formations for the duration of the war. As it advanced on Shepetivka and beyond in February and March of 1944 it was awarded first the Order of the Red Banner and then the Order of Suvorov. In April one of its regiments was awarded an honorific for the taking of Ternopil. After several inactive months the division participated in the Lviv-Sandomierz offensive and all its regiments received honors or decorations for their successes in the fighting for the former place. During the winter offensive in 1945 the 148th, with its Army, took part in two campaigns to seize Silesia. After difficult fighting in the vicinity of Oppeln and Ratibor in March the division was transferred with its Army to 4th Ukrainian Front and spent the last month of hostilities advancing through the Carpathian Mountains toward Prague. Following the German surrender it was moved back to Poland and was disbanded in July.
