I think this article has already been listed at the dyk page: [1]. It looks like his suggestion is pretty similar to yours. Ostap07:29, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the interest guys, but I listed this for DYK a while ago. I usually nominated my articles the day I write them, to increase their chances...Bogdanщо?16:29, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It seems highly unlikely that an inexperienced division would inflict 6,500 enemy casualties in a single battle, given the general background of the period (German forces overwhelming Soviet defenses until november 1941 at least) JurSchagen (talk) 22:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
