The General Göring Regiment had alternated between being in action and at rest for the better part of September. Their march had taken them across the Dneiper River as part of Army Group Center. Most of the action they had seen in September though was on the receiving end of artillery fire. Organized mainly as a FlaK unit, the General Göring Regiment did have a Rifle Battalion which was assigned to the 11th Panzer Division. It was units from the Rifle battalion that went on patrol while driving on Vyazivok only to be ambushed by Russian units including direct artillery fire.

Vyazivok, Russia
