title: Montemerano

text:
Montemerano is a village in Tuscany, central Italy, administratively a frazione of the comune of Manciano, province of Grosseto. At the time of the 2001 census its population amounted to 438. It is a member of the I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy") association.

Geography
Montemerano is about 48 km from Grosseto and 6 km from Manciano, and it is situated on a hill along the Provincial Road which links Scansano to Manciano.

History
The village dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was a property of the Aldobrandeschi family (13th century) and then of the Baschi from Orvieto (14th century). It was then conquered by the Republic of Siena during the 15th century.

Main sights

 San Giorgio (14th century), main parish church of the village, it was built by the Baschi and expanded in 1430. It was restored in 1980. The church contains a Madonna in trono col Bambino e santi by Sano di Pietro (15th century) and the curious Madonna della Gattaiola (Virgin Mary of the cat flap) by the local artist known only as Maestro di Montemerano (The Master from Montemerano).
 Pieve di San Lorenzo (12th century), former parish church of the village, it is the oldest building in Montemerano, as mentioned in an act of 1188. It was deconsecrated and now it is used for cultural activities.
 Madonna del Cavalluzzo (15th century), it was built as a chapel and then restructured in the 17th century.
 Walls of Montemerano, old fortifications which surround the village since 13th century. The walls have three gates: Porta di San Giorgio, Porta Romana and Porta Grossetana.

title: Supermembranes

text:
Supermembranes are hypothesized objects that live in the 11-dimensional theory called M-Theory and should also exist in 11-dimensional supergravity. Supermembranes are a generalisation of superstrings to another dimension. Supermembranes are 2-dimensional surfaces. For example, they can be spherical or shaped like a torus. As in superstring theory the vibrations of the supermembranes correspond to different particles. Supermembranes also exhibit a symmetry called supersymmetry without which the vibrations would only correspond to bosons and not fermions.

Energy
The energy of a classical supermembrane is given by its surface area. One consequence of this is that there is no difference between one or two membranes since two membranes can be connected by a long 1 dimensional string of zero area. Hence, the idea of 'membrane-number' has no meaning. A second consequence is that unlike strings a supermembrane's vibrations can represent several particles at once. In technical terms this means it is already 'second-quantized'. All the particles in the Universe can be thought to arise as vibrations of a single membrane.

Spectrum
When going from the classical theory to the quantum theory of supermembranes it is found that they can only exist in 11 dimensions, just as superstrings can only exist in 10 dimensions. When examining the energy spectrum (the allowed frequencies that a string can vibrate in) it was found that they can only be in discrete values corresponding to the masses of different particles.

It has been shown:

 The energy spectrum for the classical bosonic membrane is continuous.
 The energy spectrum for the quantum bosonic membrane is discrete.
 The energy spectrum for the quantum supermembrane is continuous.

At first the discovery that the spectrum was continuous was thought to mean the theory didn't make sense. But it was realised that it meant that supermembranes actually correspond to multiple particles. (The continuous degrees of freedom corresponding to the coordinates/momenta of the additional particles).

Action
The action for a classical membrane is simply the surface area of the world sheet. The quantum version is harder to write down, is non-linear and very difficult to solve. Unlike the superstring action which is quadratic, the supermembrane action is quartic which makes it exponentially harder. Adding to this the fact that a membrane can represent many particles at once not much progress has been made on supermembranes.

Low energy sector
It has been proven that the low energy vibrations of the supermembrane correspond to the particles in 11 dimensional supergravity.

Topology
A supermembrane can have multiple thing tubes or strings coming out of it with little or no extra energy cost since strings, for example, have no area. This means that all orientable topologies of membranes are physically the same. Also, joined and disjointed supermembranes are physically the same. Thus the topology of a supermembrane has no physical meaning.

Mathematics
The infinite supermembrane can be described in terms of an infinite number of patches. The coordinates of (each patch of) a supermembrane at any casual slice of time are 11 dimensional and depend on two continuous parameters  and a third integer parameter (k) denoting the patch number:

Therefore the super membrane can describe an infinite number of particles if we associate somehow the coordinate of each particle with some topological property of the patches - perhaps holes in the membrane or closed loops.

Supermembrane Field Theory
Since supermembranes correspond to multiple particles the field theory of membranes correspond to a Fock space. Informally, let a(x) denote the continuous degrees of freedom in the energy spectrum:

The action can be written as

where Q is the kinetic operator. No interaction terms are needed since there is no concept of membrane number. Everything is the same membrane. The action is not quite the same type as the one for superstrings or particles since it involves terms with multiple particles. The terms relating to single fields must recover the classical field equations of Dirac, Maxwell and Einstein. The propagator to get from a state with membrane X to one at another conformal slice with membrane Y is:

And since each membrane corresponds to any number of identical particles this is equivalent to all the Green's functions for many particle collisions at once!

Although it looks like a lot of things simplify in the supermembrane picture, the actual form of the kinetic operator Q is yet unknown and must be a very complicated operator acting on an infinite Fock-like space. Hence the seeming simplicity of the theory is hidden in this operator.

Cosmology

Since the vibrations of a supermembrane of infinite energy can correspond to every particle in the Universe at once it is possible to interpret the supermembrane as equivalent to the Universe. i.e. all that exists is the supermembrane. It makes no difference to say we live on this supermembrane or that we are in 11 dimensional space-time. Every state of the Universe corresponds to a supermembrane and every history of the Universe corresponds to a supermembrane world volume. What we think of as space-time coordinates can equally be thought of as vector fields on the 2+1 dimensional supermembrane.

For a supermembrane moving at the speed of light, its world volume can be zero due to the metric (+++-). Thus the Big Bang can be thought of as a spherical membrane expanding at the speed of light. This has interesting interpretations in terms of the holographic principle.

Geometry
Because the supermembrane(s) correspond to all particles at a particular causal time slice, it also corresponds to all the gravitons particles (which are particular vibrational modes). Thus the geometry of the 2+1D supermembrane contains within it the description of the geometry of the (macroscopic) 10+1D space-time. But as it is a quantum theory it gives probabilities for different space-times consistent with observation. The different space-times may only differ microscopically whereas the macroscopic space-time is smooth. In other words, the geometry of the membrane determines the geometry of (macroscopic) space-time. This is different from string theory where only condensates of many separate strings can macroscopically determine the space-time.

Super-5-branes
M-Theory and 11D supergravity also predict 5+1D objects called super-5-branes. An alternative cosmological theory is that we live on one of these branes.

Compactification
Compactifying one space-time dimension on a circle and wrapping the membrane around this circle gives us superstring theory. To get back to our 3+1 dimensional universe the space-time coordinates need to be compactified on a 7 dimensional manifold (of G2 holonomy). Not much is known about these types of shapes.

Matrix Theory
Matrix theory is a particular way of formulating supermembrane theory. It is still in development. The diagonal entries of an infinite dimensional matrix can be thought of as different supermembranes (parts) connected by 1 dimensional strings.

title: Miles Jackson-Cartwright

text:
Miles Ramon Jackson-Cartwright (born April 7, 1992) is an American professional basketball player.

Amateur career

Early years
Miles Jackson-Cartwright started his amateur career in 1998 as a member of the San Fernando Valley Guardian Angels, an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) sanctioned  basketball team coached by David Wooley. He continued the development of fundamental basketball skills in 1999 at HoopMasters, a nationally renowned AAU basketball program headquartered in Santa Monica, California and headed by coach John Fischer. Jackson-Cartwright completed his participation in AAU sanctioned events by joining California Supreme, a former Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL) team coached by Gary Franklin Sr. and Mike Law, in 2009.

High school
Jackson-Cartwright attended Loyola High School of Los Angeles, a Catholic institution for young men. He graduated with honors in 2010 and completed his high school career as a three-year starter on the varsity team. Jackson-Cartwright also served as the team's captain for three years and lead them to Mission League titles in 2008 and 2009. He was selected as the 2009 Mission League MVP and earned First Team All-Mission League honors in 2008 and 2010. Jackson-Cartwright earned First Team All-California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) honors in 2009 and 2010. ESPN selected him to their All-California team in 2009 and 2010 and he was picked to be a member of the IRN Sports All-California team in 2010. He also earned the Loyola High School Athlete of the Year Award in 2010.

College
Jackson-Cartwright attended the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) of the Ivy League after being heavily recruited by the school's coaching staff. At the time he was the highest ranked player by ESPN's basketball writers and other credible college basketball scouting services to ever commit to the Penn in its long and storied history. Miles was a four-year starter who served three seasons as a team captain. Jackson-Cartwright ended his career at Penn second all-time in minutes played (3,959), seventh in assists (358), ninth in free throws made (364), ninth in free throw percentage (81.3), tenth in steals (131), tenth in 3-point field goals made (155), tenth in 3-point field goals attempted (449), and thirteenth all-time in points scored (1,401). He won the Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors four times during his freshman season (2007–08). Jackson-Cartwright was selected as a Second Team All-Ivy League honoree and also won the Philadelphia Big 5 Cy Kaselman Award for the Best Free Throw Percentage in 2012–13.

A notable Jackson-Cartwright play is when he scored a three-point play on a dunk over three Princeton players including Will Barrett, a six-foot/ten inch center. The points were the last ones scored in the away game loss and the dunk made ESPN SportsCenter's Top Plays of the day on March 8, 2011.

Professional career
Jackson-Cartwright went undrafted in the 2014 NBA draft after his collegiate career ended. On July 23, 2014, he signed a contract to play basketball in the Netherlands for Aris Leeuwarden of the Dutch Basketball League.

In the 2015 offseason, he signed with Hanau White Wings of the German ProA, the national second tier.

Personal life
He is the younger brother of Alternative Rock singer/songwriter J Davey. Their younger brother, Parker, played point guard at the University of Arizona from 2014–2018. Miles appeared in the documentary At All Costs, for which Parker was one of the main subjects.

title: Spanky McFarland (baseball)

text:
Joe "Spanky" McFarland (born May 24, 1954) is an American former college baseball coach who was the head coach of Northern Illinois (1991–1997) and James Madison (1998–2015).  Under him, JMU appeared in three NCAA tournaments.  A 1976 graduate of Hillsdale College, McFarland served as an assistant coach at several schools in the late 1970s and 1980s.

Playing career
A native of New Carlisle, Ohio, McFarland attended Tecumseh High School, where he played football, basketball, and baseball. He then played football and baseball at Michigan's Hillsdale College. After graduating in spring 1976, he spent training camp with the Canadian Football League's Calgary Stampeders before starting his coaching career the following year.

Coaching career

Junior college and assistant coaching
McFarland's first coaching position was an assistant job at Hillsdale in 1977.  He next served as the head coach at Kellogg Community College, also in Michigan, from 1979 to 1980.  His overall record at Kellogg was 33-13.  McFarland then spent a decade as an assistant in the southeast, coaching at Appalachian State (1981), Florida State (1982), Georgia Tech (1983–1985), and South Florida (1986–1990).

Northern Illinois
McFarland's first Division I head coaching job came at Northern Illinois (NIU) from 1991 to 1997. There, McFarland revived a program that had been cut in the early 1980s. He had a 146-211 record in seven seasons.

After playing 1991 as an independent, NIU played in the Mid-Continent Conference from 1992 to 1994.  The team finished in the bottom three of the conference in all three seasons, with its highest win total coming in 1994 (23-30).  From 1995 to 1997, it played in the Horizon League and qualified for the conference tournament in each season.  In 1995, it had its first above-.500 season under McFarland (29-27), finished second in the West Division, and placed third in the Horizon Tournament.  The Huskies' Jesse Richardson was named the Horizon Player of the Year.  In 1996, it won the Horizon Tournament but lost to Northeastern Illinois in the NCAA tournament play-in game.

At NIU, four of McFarland's players were selected in the MLB Draft, including 7th-round selection Chris Burt in 1994. Another of his players, Brian Schmack, went undrafted but later pitched in Major League Baseball for the Detroit Tigers.

James Madison
After the 1997 season, McFarland left Northern Illinois to become the head coach at James Madison.  He replaced Kevin Anderson, who had resigned following allegations that he overstated spending on team meals.

The Dukes' first winning season under McFarland came in 2000, his third season, when they went 37-22. After another 30-win season in 2001, the Dukes qualified for the NCAA tournament in 2002. After a 41-12 regular season in which they won the CAA's American Division and McFarland was named CAA Coach of the Year, they went 2-2 in the CAA Tournament. After receiving an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament as the third seed in the Columbia Regional, they went 1-2, getting a win against VCU in an elimination game.

After missing the CAA Tournament in 2004 and 2005, the Dukes went 38-21 in 2006 and won the CAA regular season title.  They finished third in the CAA Tournament, however, and did not receive an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.

McFarland's best four-year stretch at James Madison came from 2008 to 2011. In this stretch, the Dukes had three 30-win seasons and a 40-win season. They won two CAA regular season titles (2010 and 2011) and appeared in two NCAA tournaments (2008 and 2011).  In 2008, at the Raleigh Regional, the Dukes again went 1-2 with a win in the 0-1 game.  In 2010, the team won the regular season title but lost in the tournament; McFarland was named the CAA's Co-Coach of the Year.  In 2011, they reached the Chapel Hill Regional final in their deepest postseason run under McFarland.

James Madison had losing records in 2012, 2013, and 2014, finishing no higher than 6th in the CAA.

At James Madison, McFarland has had many major award winners and draftees. CAA award winners include Players of the Year Eddie Kim (2002 and 2003), Kellen Kulbacki (2006), and Jake Lowery (2011). Kulbacki was named a First-Team All-American in both 2006 and 2007.  Between 1998 and 2014, 28 of his players have been selected in the Major League Baseball Draft. Rich Thompson, Dan Meyer, and Ryan Reid went on to appear in Major League Baseball.

In the fall of 2014, McFarland announced that he would retire after the 2015 season. That year, the Dukes finished 18-33 and missed the CAA Tournament.

Personal life
McFarland's son, Ty, played for him at James Madison from 2011 to 2014. He was a 10th-round selection of the New York Yankees in the 2014 Major League Baseball Draft.

In 1990, McFarland wrote a book titled Coaching Pitchers. It was re-published in 2003.

title: Perce Wilson

text:
Percival James "Perce" Wilson (February 22, 1890 – September 20, 1936), sometimes shown as Percy Wilson, was an American football player.  He was the quarterback for the 1920 Detroit Heralds during the first regular season of the National Football League (then known as the American Professional Football Association).  He was one of the first Canadian-born players and the first Canadian-born quarterback, to play in the NFL.

Early years
Wilson was born in 1890 in Lifford, Ontario, Canada.  His father, James Wilson, was born in Canada to Irish immigrants. His mother, Anna, was also born in Canada.

Wilson moved to Detroit as a young boy and attended Detroit's Western High School. By 1917, Wilson had become a naturalized United States citizen and was employed in the milk and creamery business in Detroit.

Professional football
In 1920, he played for the Detroit Heralds during the first regular season of the National Football League (then known as the American Professional Football Association).  The Heralds opened their season with a game against the Cleveland Panthers, played at Navin Field on October 10, 1920. The Heralds won by a 40–14 score, and Wilson, the Heralds' starting quarterback, scored the team's fifth touchdown.  Two weeks later, Wilson appeared in the Heralds' game against the Columbus Panhandles as a substitute at the quarterback position.  On November 28, 1920, he played at the left halfback position for the Heralds.

Wilson was one of the first Canadian-born players, and the first Canadian-born quarterback, to play in the NFL.  The other three Canadian-born players to play in the NFL during its inaugural 1920 season were Buck MacDonald, a guard, Tommy Hughitt, a halfback, and Jim Bryant, a halfback.

Later years
Wilson and his brother, Ernie Wilson, also played basketball for the Detroit Rayls, a team that existed in the late 1910s and early 1920s.

Wilson died in 1936 at age 46.

title: Friedrich Wilhelm Fritzsche

text:
Friedrich Wilhelm Fritzsche (March 25, 1825 – February 5, 1905), commonly known by his middle name, was a German trade unionist and socialist politician who was elected a member of the Reichstag. He was a founder and President of the General German Cigar Workers' Union (ADZV) in 1865. The subject of police persecution for his radical political views, in 1881 Fritzsche emigrated to the United States of America, where he edited the newspaper the Philadelphia Tageblatt for a time before retiring from politics.

Biography

Early years

Friedrich Wilhelm Fritzsche, known to his family and friends as Wilhelm, was born in Leipzig, in the Kingdom of Saxony, one of the German States, on March 25, 1825. His father, Wilhelm Fritzsche, was a journeyman shoemaker.

Fritzsche was forced to work from an early age, taking his first job as a cigarmaker in 1840 at the age of 15.

Political career

Fritzsche became politically active late in the 1840s.

In 1849 Fritzsche was arrested for his participation in the 1848 Revolution in the city of Dresden.

Fritzsche was a founding member of the Leipzig Educational Association in February 1861 and together with Julius Vahlteich split away from that group the following year to form a new workers' organization called Vorwärts (Forward). With the establishment of the General German Workers' Association (ADAV) in May 1863, Fritzche became a founding member of that organization and was elected to the organization's governing Executive Committee. He would become Vice President of the ADAV in 1865 and briefly served as President of that organization in November 1865.

The November 30, 1865 General Meeting of the ADAV voted a motion of no confidence in Fritzsche's leadership and he returned to Leipzig, resigning both his Vice Presidency and his position as the organization's official representative in that city.

Fritzsche subsequently turned his attention to trade union organization, serving as one of the principals establishing the General German Cigar Workers' Union (ADZV), of which he was President from 1865 until 1878. Fritzche also became a newspaper editor for the first time in this period, producing the weekly paper of the union, Der Botschafter, from 1866 until its ban by the authorities in 1879.

In July 1868 Fritzsche was elected to the North German regional Reichstag.

Disagreement with the leadership of Johann Baptist von Schweitzer led him to leave the ADAV in the summer of 1869. While Fritzsche was a delegate to the founding congress of the Social Democratic Workers' Party of Germany (SDAP) in August 1869, he does not seem to have been a member of the new organization, instead rejoining the ADAV in 1872. Whatever his misgivings about membership in the SDAP, Fritzsche emerged as a leading voice in favor of unity of the two organizations, and he was selected as a delegate to the Unity Congress held at Gotha.

The Gotha Congress resulted in the formation of the Socialist Workers' Party of Germany (SAPD), forerunner of the modern Social-Democratic Party of Germany.

In 1877 and 1878, Fritzche was elected a member of the Reichstag on the ticket of the Socialist Workers' Party, in which he remained a member until his emigration to America in 1881.
Frizsche found himself expelled from Berlin in 1879 after passage of the Anti-Socialist Laws. He returned to Leipzig and established a new newspaper there called Der Wanderer (The Wanderer). He was dispatched to London and America for the first time in 1880, where he spoke on behalf of the Socialist Workers' Party, attempting to build international support for the German socialist movement.

Newspaper editor in America

Harassed constantly by the authorities,  Fritzche emigrated to America in 1881, settling in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he edited the labor newspaper the Philadelphia Tageblatt (Philadelphia Daily News).

Later years and death

After his time editing the Tageblatt, Fritzsche retired from politics to life as an innkeeper in Philadelphia.

Fritzsche died in Philadelphia on February 5, 1905, aged 79.

title: U.S. Route 83 Business (McAllen, Texas)

text:
Business US Route 83-S (Bus. US 83-S) is a business loop of US 83 in the Lower Rio Grande Valley region of Texas. The highway serves as the main street for many communities in the area, such as McAllen, Mission, San Juan, Alamo, and more.
This is the longest business loop in Texas, traveling almost 47 miles and is the third longest bannered US highway in the state; only US 90 Alternate and US 77 Alternate are longer.

Route description

Bus. US 83-S begins at Interstate 2/US 83 in Harlingen, near the interchange with Interstate 69E/US 77. Leaving the city, the highway serves the town of La Feria, before entering into Mercedes. In the city of Weslaco, the highway passes by the South Texas College - Mid-Valley Campus. Bus. US 83-S next passes through the towns of Donna, Alamo, and San Juan before entering Pharr. In Pharr, the highway intersects US 281, just south of Interstate 69C. Crossing I-2/US 83 for the first time since Harlingen, Bus. US 83-S enters into the city of McAllen. The highway serves as the major east-west road for the city, traveling directly through the city center. In Mission, the highway splits into a one way street, with northbound traffic traveling on Tom Landry Street and southbound on 9th Street. In western Mission, the highway crosses I-2/US 83 again. After the intersection with FM 2062, development along the route begins to drop, traveling mainly through more rural areas of the city. Bus. US 83-S ends at I-2/US 83 on the eastern edge of Peñitas, where I-2 also ends.

History
The highway was formally signed as Loop 374 until 1991.

Loop 374

Texas State Highway Loop 374 is a former state highway loop that was located in Hidalgo and Cameron counties.

Loop 374 was designated in 1963, running from US 83 near the west city limit of Mission, eastward along the old location of US 83 to US 83 near the west city limit of Harlingen. The highway was extended  west of Mission to US 83 in 1967. Loop 374 was re-routed through Mission in 1987, with westbound traffic being re-routed onto Mayberry Road and Tom Landry Street near the town's central business district. The highway was cancelled and re-designated as Bus. US 83 in 1991.

title: Fusa Church

text:
Fusa Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Bjørnafjorden Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Fusa. It is one of the churches for the Fusa parish which is part of the Fana prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, concrete church was built in a long church design in 1962 using plans drawn up by the architect Ole Halvorsen. The church seats about 350 people. It is the fourth church building to be built on this site.

History

The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1325, but the church was not new that year. The first church in Fusa was a wooden stave church that was likely built during the 13th century. In the year 1600, the old church was torn down and a new timber-framed long church was built on the same site to replace it. In 1861, a new, larger church was built about  to the west of the old church. The new building was designed by Frederik Hannibal Stockfleth and the lead builder was Johannes Øvsthus. The new church was consecrated on 24 November 1861. After the new church was completed, the old church was torn down and its parts were sold at auction.

On Sunday, 11 January 1959, shortly after the worship service, the church caught fire and burned to the ground. Immediately, the parish set out to rebuild the church. Ole Halvorsen was hired to design the new church which would be built on the same site as the previous church building. The new building was consecrated on 2 September 1962.

In 2014, the church was transferred to the Hardanger og Voss prosti when the old Midhordland prosti was dissolved. In 2017, the church was transferred to the Fana prosti in anticipation of a municipal merger in 2020.

title: 252nd Rifle Division

text:
The 252nd Rifle Division was the eighth of a group of 10 regular rifle divisions formed from cadres of NKVD border and internal troops as standard Red Army rifle divisions, very shortly after the German invasion, in the Moscow Military District.

It was raised in June 1941, within days of the beginning of Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, based on the prewar rifle division Shtat 04/400, and served for the duration of the Great Patriotic War in that role. The 252nd's first experience of battle was when it took part in the fighting north of Smolensk in the summer of 1941. It was forced eastward in the autumn, especially under the impact of Operation Typhoon. After helping to defeat an offensive by Third Panzer Group at Kalinin in October, and serving through the winter counteroffensive west of Moscow, the division was sent south where it participated in the Battle of Stalingrad.

In the summer of 1943 the 252nd distinguished itself in the final liberation of Kharkov, for which it received its first battle honor, as well as the Order of the Red Banner. Following this the division continued to fight through eastern and western Ukraine and into Moldova, receiving further distinctions along the way. It took part in the Second Jassy–Kishinev Offensive in August 1944, which drove Romania into the Allied camp, and continued campaigning into Hungary, participating in the Siege of Budapest. In the final weeks of the war the division received a second battle honor for assisting in the liberation of Bratislava. Postwar, it was withdrawn to the North Caucasus, downsized to a rifle brigade and disbanded in March 1947.

Formation to mid-1942
The division began organizing on 26 June 1941 at Serpukhov in the Moscow Military District. It was one of a series of rifle divisions numbered between 240 and 260 that were built on cadres taken from the NKVD. The NKVD cadre consisted of 1,500 border guards and internal security troops, providing a solid, well-motivated core. Its order of battle was:
 924th Rifle Regiment
 928th Rifle Regiment
 932nd Rifle Regiment
 277th Artillery Regiment
 270th Howitzer Regiment
 309th Antitank Battalion
 420th Sapper Battalion
 332nd Reconnaissance Company
 176th Signal Company
 270th Medical/Sanitation Battalion
 303rd Field Bakery

Colonel Aleksandr Alekseevich Zabaluev, an NKVD officer, was named divisional commander on 5 July, and was promoted to major general ten days later. After Zabaluev arrived the division moved to Ostashkov.  It was assigned to the 29th Army of Lieutenant General Ivan Maslennikov in the Reserve of the Supreme High Command by 13 July, less than three weeks after beginning to form. The 29th Army formed part of Lieutenant General Ivan Bogdanov's Front Reserve of Reserve Armies, which was to hold a defensive line from Staraya Russa to Bryansk.

By 19 July the 19th, 20th and 16th Armies were almost entirely encircled in the Smolensk region, and 29th Army was ordered to prepare an attack from the Toropets area towards Velikiye Luki with its 243rd, 256th and 252nd Rifle Divisions. For this attack, the 29th, similarly to the other reserve armies, was designated as an operational group named after its commander – Group Maslennikov – and subordinated to the Western Front on 20 July. On 26 July the division was in the Dubrovna, Borodkina and Suslovo region,  southwest of Toropets. The 252nd entered combat two days later, fighting in the Battle of Smolensk. On 3 August it was reported as "preparing to force the Western Dvina River and organize antitank regions" in several locales about  south of Toropets, and had orders to attack towards Demidov in the second week of the month.

Those plans were temporarily abandoned when the division came under attack on 7 August and its 928th and 932nd Rifle Regiments were forced to withdraw north of the Dvina. After a lull in the fighting, Western Front commander Marshal Semyon Timoshenko launched a new offensive, and the 252nd again attacked across the Dvina on 18 August, this time at Klinok. The 924th Regiment reported destroying the headquarters of the 3rd Battalion of the German 78th Infantry Regiment (26th Infantry Division) and capturing one gun, ammunition and documents. Despite its gains, the division was forced back to its original positions on the northern bank of the river by the end of the next day. By 20 August Timoshenko's forces came under renewed enemy pressure, and the division was forced back on the defensive. It was directed to establish an all-round defense by the end of 24 August north of the river. At the end of August the 252nd had to make a hasty retreat eastwards after the German XL Motorized Corps broke through the 22nd Army and advanced towards Toropets; the 932nd Regiment, with an artillery battalion and a sapper company, served as the rearguard. By 2 September the division was serving as Maslennikov's reserve in the Mukhino, Spiridovo and Novoe Polutino region. On the following day, together with the 126th Rifle Division of the 22nd Army, the division was tasked with the mission of liquidating a tank-supported German infantry regiment that had reached the Dvina in the Suvorovo region. On 4 September the 252nd continued counterattacking, driving back two German regiments with the help of the 243rd.

Typhoon, Winter Offensive, and Rzhev
On 2 October the German forces launched Operation Typhoon, during which the division covered the retreat of the 29th Army. Although the army was too far north to be immediately affected, it was transferred to the new Kalinin Front in the vicinity of that city during the middle of the month. The 252nd was transferred to the newly-arriving 31st Army, and on 19–20 October participated in the counterattacks that defeated the XXXXI Motorized Corps along the Torzhok road northwest of Kalinin. The division continued to fight in what became known as the Kalinin Defense Operation. When the Soviet counter-offensive against Army Group Center – known as the Kalinin Offensive Operation – began in early December, the division reported a strength of 5,800 officers and men, about half of its authorized strength, a good strength given four months of fighting in retreat. During the Kalinin Offensive the 252nd participated in the recapture of the city on 16 December, and the recapture of Staritsa on New Year's Day 1942. On the latter date, Zabaluev was replaced by Major General Viktor Urbanovich, taking command by 5 January.

From 20 January the division fought in the Sychyovka–Vyazma and Rzhev–Vyazma Offensives during the Battles of Rzhev as part of the 39th Army. On that day, it attacked towards the Osuga railway station south of Rzhev during the Rzhev–Vyazma Offensive, tasked with reaching the Rzhev-Vyazma railway from the west. During the offensive, the division captured the strongpoints of Monchalovo and Popovka, going on the defensive fifteen kilometers southwest of Osuga station. It was cut off by a German counterattack in the area of Rzhev and Olenino, but fought on in semi-encirclement between February and June, supplied only by a small corridor in the Nesterovo area. During the winter, the 309th Antitank Battalion was removed to Army control (the Howitzer Regiment had been removed earlier) but was replaced by the 110th Antitank Battalion when the division was reorganized in the spring of 1942.  Between 2 and 5 July German forces cut off the 39th Army in Operation Seydlitz with converging attacks on Nesterovo from Bely and Karskaya, fully encircling the division northwest of Vyazma. The 252nd managed to break out on 22 July to the northeast of Bely and regrouped near Selizharovo.

Battle of Stalingrad
The 252nd went into the Reserve of the Supreme High Command in early August 1942, first assigned to the 4th Reserve Army before being moved to 10th Reserve Army before the end of the month. At this time the division personnel were about 60 percent Yakut, with most of the rest being Russian. On 27 August, Urbanovich was replaced in command by Colonel Zinovy Samoilovich Shekhtman. From August to October, the division was rebuilt as part of the Reserve of the Supreme High Command at Vereshchagino, Molotov Oblast.

The division was ordered to return to the front on 1 October along with six other rebuilt rifle divisions to join the armies of the Don Front north and west of Stalingrad. It was initially allocated to the 66th Army. On 20 October it formed part of the Army's shock group as Don Front staged its fourth attempt to break through the German-held corridor from the Don to the Volga from the north and reach the 62nd Army besieged in the city. The attack began at 0800 hours and had advanced into the enemy defensive belt by 10:00 In the course of this fighting the 252nd captured the Hill 130.7 region,  northeast of Kuzmichi, and the road junction  east of that position. The next day the division continued fighting along much the same lines. On 22 October it captured the region of the Motor Tractor Station  northeast of Kuzmichi, and made a further advance of  the next day, taking Hill 139.7. By this time the division was badly depleted, and the 226th Rifle Division passed through its positions to take up the advance, but made little further progress and the Army went over to the defense on 27 October. As of 1 November the 252nd was back in the Front reserve.

Operation Uranus
In the buildup to the November counteroffensive the division was transferred to 65th Army. According to a General Staff report of 14 November, In the Army's deployment the division was north of the Kletskaya bridgehead south of the Don, in second echelon behind the 304th Rifle Division. They were facing the boundary between the Romanian 1st Cavalry and German 376th Infantry Divisions. The operation began on the morning of 19 November. The 304th began its main advance at 08:50 following an 80-minute artillery bombardment which was hampered by low visibility. The Army commander, Lieutenant General Pavel Batov, wrote that this division "was forced to the ground in front of Melo-Kletskaia." It had encountered skillfully fortified strongpoints manned by German troops that it could not overcome. Further, they faced nearly constant counterattacks from 376th Infantry Division, supported later in the day by elements of 14th Panzer Division. However, one battalion of the 807th Rifle Regiment made a limited breakthrough, and overnight Batov devised a plan to exploit this. The 252nd, which had crossed into the bridgehead, was to attack at the boundary of the 304th and 27th Guards Rifle Divisions when the fighting reached its crescendo.

Shortly after dawn on the 20th those two divisions pushed deeply into the Romanian defenses, and at about 10:00 the 252nd began pushing through at the boundary, soon penetrating the first two enemy defensive positions. Shortly after noon a mobile group, made up of about 45 T-34 and KV tanks from 91st Tank Brigade, with submachine gunners riding on their decks, accompanied by motorized infantry and artillery, all under the command of Colonel Georgy Anisimov, began advancing into this breach. By nightfall it had advanced  into the left rear of German XI Army Corps. Meanwhile, the 252nd advanced  southeastward against stiffening Axis resistance. Next day 65th Army had five rifle divisions on the attack, registering gains from . Due to Anisimov's armored raid the German 376th Infantry was forced to withdraw eastwards, and Romanian 1st Cavalry abandoned the town of Orekhovskii.

22 November saw the division, along with the 27th Guards, attacking elements of the 14th Panzer Division. By the end of the day that division was forced to withdraw eastwards, in spite of being reinforced by the 132nd Infantry Regiment of 44th Infantry Division. The following day the 252nd continued to throw the German armor and supporting infantry back about  to the southeast as they evacuated their tenuous salient west of the Don. On 24 November, after the Soviet encirclement of the Axis forces at Stalingrad had been achieved, 65th Army pressed on, and the division helped to force the German divisions farther east to new defensive positions, advancing about  during the day. At nightfall it had reached positions overlooking the Sukhaia Golubaika ravine. By the morning of 25 November the salient had been reduced to about , and now included elements of the 16th Panzer Division and five infantry regiments.

Over the following days Batov continued to reduce the German salient. On 25 November the 252nd reported: "During the day 103 vehicles, 3 aircraft, 52 guns, and 32 antitank guns were seized." By nightfall the bridgehead had been reduced by a further 50 percent in area. Overnight several divisions were transferred from 65th Army to 5th Tank Army, but the pursuit continued at dawn with the 252nd, 304th and 24th Rifle Divisions, with 91st Tank Brigade back in support of the 304th. Both it and the 252nd advanced several kilometres before being halted by enemy fire from Hill 204.0. Meanwhile, the XI Corps' commander systematically withdrew his remaining men to east of the Don, completing the operation and blowing the bridge on the 27th at about 03:40. Later that morning the division reached the river, threw forward detachments across to the east bank, and captured Akimovskii at 09:00. The German corps continued to fall back, abandoning Vertiachii by noon on 29 November. However, the next day the pursuit came to an abrupt halt as 65th Army came up to the heavy fire and extensive obstacles of Sixth Army's new main defensive line.

The first test of these defenses came on 4 December. The 252nd, with the 24th Rifle and 27th Guards Rifle, backed by the 304th, "tore one gaping hole and several lesser gaps in the defenses of VIII Army Corps' 44th Infantry Division." According to a report from Sixth Army to Army Group Don a break-in 1,000 metres wide and 2,000 metres deep had been made northeast of Dmitrievka, apparently the work of the 252nd. German counterattacks over the next 24 hours drove the division back, with the loss of 200 killed and 20 prisoners. In the end the German line was mostly restored, but the 24th Division clung to Hill 124.5 (Chernyi Kurgan), which remained a thorn in the side of the 44th Infantry during the coming weeks.

Shekhtman was replaced by Anisimov on 5 December, who would be promoted to the rank of major general on 27 January 1943. On 6 and 7 December the German counterattacks continued, and the 252nd was directed north to back up the 24th Division on Chernyi Kurgan. During the month the division came under command of the 21st Army. While there were no further major offensive operations during the month, local attacks by the 252nd and several other divisions caused heavy losses to the 44th and 376th Infantry Divisions on 28 and 29 December.

Operation Ring
As of January 1943, the division had about 50 percent personnel of Kazakh and Uzbek nationality, while the remainder were split between Yakut and Russian. When Don Front began its offensive to reduce the Stalingrad pocket on 10 January the 252nd had returned to 65th Army and was in the Army's reserves. During the first two days the Army's main forces made steady progress against the much-weakened VIII Corps and XIV Panzer Corps. General Batov committed the division on 12 January, to the right of the 304th Division, and it soon found a gap between the two German corps, reaching the west bank of the Rossoshka River and cutting the withdrawal route of the 29th Motorized Division. It also assisted the 173rd Rifle and 51st Guards Rifle Divisions in a southward thrust of  which reached to within  of Karpovka by nightfall.

The following day the 252nd, along with the 173rd, was again transferred to 21st Army, which was facing weaker opposition than the 65th. The immediate mission was to liberate Karpovka, then push eastward to seize Pitomnik airfield, one of the main remaining depots for the Sixth Army airlift. On 16 January this was taken with the help of 51st Guards, and the German forces in the Stalingrad pocket were reduced to using the more distant Gumrak for their inadequate air supplies. Later that day a counterattack by most of the remaining tanks of 14th Panzer Division damaged the division and forced the Army commander to shift fresh forces to its sector.

There was a lull in the fighting from 18–21 January for the refitting of Don Front's forces. When the offensive resumed the 252nd was roughly in the center of the 21st Army's -wide attack sector, about  west of Gumrak. By nightfall on 23 January the division had pushed about  eastward, clearing the remnants of 29th Motorized from the village strongpoint at Talovoi. Two days later the advance forces of the Army reached to the fringes of Stalingrad proper, while the 252nd helped to seize Hill 122.5, from  northeast of Lesoposadochnaia village. The final advance began on 26 January with six of the Army's rifle divisions advancing into the center of the city from the hills to the west. While elements of the Army linked up with the 13th Guards and 284th Rifle Divisions, the remainder continued advancing against surprisingly strong resistance from the remnants of XIV Panzer Corps. By this time, most of Don Front's rifle divisions were reduced to regimental strength.

The next day the division was rotated out of the line for rest, returning on 30 January for the final act, although it was held back from the immediate front lines to be available against unexpected developments. After the surrender of the German forces in Stalingrad on 3 February, the 252nd remained in the region as part of the Stalingrad Group of Forces until 1 March, participating in the mopping up of German holdouts.

Rebuilding, Operation Rumyantsev, and the Battle of the Dnieper
By this time the main preoccupation of the STAVKA was the German successes in the first phases of the Third Battle of Kharkov. It began reassigning its reserve forces in the south on the evening of 28 February. The 252nd was reassigned to the 24th Army with a directive to the Army's commander:  As the crisis deepened, on 12 March the STAVKA ordered the creation of a Reserve Front, to which 24th Army was assigned.

During March and April the division received replacements and was reorganized along new tables of organization and equipment in the area of the Kolodeznaya railway station. On 3 May the division was assigned to 53rd Army, still in the High Command Reserve. Just prior to the German summer offensive 53rd Army was part of the Steppe Military District, which became Steppe Front when the Battle of Kursk began. Shortly after the enemy offensive ended 53rd Army was transferred to Voronezh Front. The 252nd was in second echelon when the Army began its offensive towards Kharkov on 3 August, and so distinguished itself in the fighting for that city that it was awarded its name as a battle honor when the city was captured on 23 August, one of the first such honorifics awarded:Two days later the division was further recognized with the award of the Order of the Red Banner. Attacking towards Poltava, the division captured Liubotyn in cooperation with the 84th Rifle Division on 29 August. On 20 September Anisimov, who had been promoted to corps command, was replaced in command by Colonel Ivan Aleksandrovich Gorbachyov, who was in turn replaced by Colonel Ivan Semyonovich Frolov on 15 October. During the Battle of the Dnieper, on the night of 1 October, the 252nd crossed the river in the area of Chkalova, Kremenchuk Raion, Poltava Oblast, and captured a bridgehead on the right bank. Gorbachyov was concussed during the fighting for the bridgehead on 7 October and spent more than a month into the hospital, returning to command on 11 November. He continued to lead the division for the rest of the war, being promoted to major general on 10 April 1944.

Kirovograd to Prague
The division remained in 53rd Army for the rest of the year, then transferred to 4th Guards Army in 2nd Ukrainian Front on 9 January 1944. It remained in this front through the spring and summer, in either 4th Guards or 52nd Army. The division fought in the Kirovograd Offensive during the first half of January and the Korsun–Shevchenkovsky Offensive between late January and February. It was transferred to the 52nd Army on 13 February. During the Uman–Botoșani Offensive, on 19 March the 252nd was recognized for its role in the liberation of Uman with the Order of Bogdan Khmelnitsky, 2nd degree. After crossing the Dniester, it helped capture the key rail junction and city of Beltsy on 26 March. For these actions, in addition to its reaching the Soviet border, the division was awarded the Order of Suvorov, 2nd class, on 8 April. From 10 April the division participated in defensive actions at Bursuceni and Teșcureni in Bessarabia with the 78th Rifle Corps of 52nd Army. With the corps, it returned to the 4th Guards Army on 16 August to fight in the Jassy–Kishinev Offensive. In the latter, it helped to defeat the German-Romanian forces around Jassy and Kishinev, and took part in the capture of Ungheni on 22 August. From 9 September to 5 October it was once again withdrawn to the Reserve of the Supreme High Command for rebuilding at Lutsk, then relocated to Arad with the army. As part of this, the 110th Antitank Battalion was re-equipped with 12 SU-76 self-propelled guns.

With the 4th Guards Army, the division was transferred to the 4th Ukrainian Front on 3 November and reconcentrated in Hungary, where it fought in the Budapest Offensive. During this, the division crossed the Danube on 1 December, establishing a bridgehead on the right bank, allowing for the ferrying of other units to it. The division went on to participate in the capture of Székesfehérvár on 23 December.

The division held positions north of Lake Balaton in mid-January, with the 1st Guards Fortified District to the south, as part of the 135th Rifle Corps. The main attack of Operation Konrad III, a  counterattack launched by the German IV SS Panzer Corps in an attempt to relieve the Siege of Budapest. The brunt of the attack was borne by the 1st Guards Fortified District and the 928th Rifle Regiment, which held a front of  on the left flank of the division. The German attack began at 06:30 on 18 January, and broke through the 1st Guards Fortified District, whose anti-tank capabilities proved too weak to stop Tiger II tanks. As a result, the 1st Panzer Division bypassed the left flank of the 252nd and entered its rear, surrounding the 928th, whose men broke out in small groups. To the right of the 928th, the 932nd Rifle Regiment retreated under German pressure to the line of a canal south of Székesfehérvár. The collapse of the Soviet lines allowed the German forces to reach the corps headquarters, disrupting command and control.

Elements of the 252nd, along with the 93rd Rifle Division, formed a defensive line on the Sárvíz Canal, where demolished bridges stopped the advance of the IV SS Panzer Corps' left flank. The lines of communication of the division were disrupted by Messerschmitt Bf 109 strafing and bombing attacks on 19 January due to temporary clear skies. By 10:00 on 22 January, the 252nd, whose sector was now relatively calm, took up positions behind the 5th Guards Cavalry Corps in the strip of land between Lake Velence and the Danube. On 24 January the 5th Guards retreated in the face of the German attack back to the line of the 252nd, which had suffered heavy losses at the beginning of Konrad III, but the defense in the sector held due to the introduction of Soviet mechanized forces and Ilyushin Il-2 air attacks on the German advance.

With the 46th Army from 3 February 1945 the division repulsed German attempts to break the siege in the Esztergom area. The division was transferred to the 23rd Rifle Corps on 19 February. With the 46th Army, it transferred back to the 2nd Ukrainian Front on 21 February. The 252nd fought in the Vienna Offensive from mid-March, capturing Komárom on 28 March and advancing to the Hungary-Czechoslovakia border. Crossing the Danube near the Szent Pál island on 30 March, it captured Komárno on the same day. The division was then transferred to the 7th Guards Army, with which it fought in the Bratislava–Brno Offensive, participating in the liberation of Bratislava on 4 April, for which it received the following honorific:

In the final days of the war, the 252nd fought in the Prague Offensive, pursuing retreating German forces. It linked up with the American 2nd Infantry Division at the village of Svojkovice east of Plzeň on 13 May. The division ended the war as the 252nd Kharkov-Bratislava Red Banner Orders of Suvorov and Bogdan Khmelnitsky Rifle Division (Russian: 252-я стрелковая Харьковско-Братиславская Краснознамённая орденов Суворова и Богдана Хмельницкого дивизия). During the war, fourteen men of the division received the title Hero of the Soviet Union.

Postwar
After the end of the war, the division remained in Czechoslovakia in the town of Mýto, east of Plzeň, until 6 June, after which it relocated to southwestern Hungary, where it was stationed in camps and manorial estates at Gyöngyöspuszta and Szentmihály  south of Kadarkút. In Hungary, the division conducted combat training and served at border guard posts on the Hungary-Yugoslavia border. With its corps and army, the 252nd became part of the Central Group of Forces when the latter was formed on 10 June from units of the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Fronts. In accordance with an order of the Central Group of Forces on 21 June, the 442nd Divisional Artillery Brigade  was formed in the division as part of a reorganization of Red Army rifle divisions to increase organic artillery capability; it included the 787th Gun, the 826th Howitzer Artillery, and 670th Mortar Regiments. The 1012th Separate Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion and 583rd Separate Self-Propelled Artillery Battalion, the latter equipped with the SU-76s, were also formed as units under the direct control of the division headquarters.

In accordance with an order of the Central Group of Forces, the division was transported by rail to the Soviet Union via Kaposvár, Budapest, Sighet, Rostov, and Mineralnye Vody, with the rest of the 23rd Rifle Corps from 20 December, and by 15 February 1946 the division had fully arrived in the Stavropol Military District (merged into the North Caucasus Military District shortly afterwards). The corps was renumbered as the 60th upon arrival. By New Year's Day 1946, the units of the division were stationed as follows: division headquarters, the 924th and 928th Rifle Regiments, the 583rd Separate Self-Propelled Artillery Battalion, the 672nd Separate Communications Battalion, the 420th Separate Sapper Battalion, the 332nd Separate Motor Reconnaissance Company, the separate training battalion, and two auto transport companies at Nalchik, the 932nd Rifle Regiment at Dzaudzhikau, and the headquarters of the 442nd Divisional Artillery Brigade with its 787th Gun and 826th Howitzer Artillery, and 670th Mortar Regiments, the 310th Separate Anti-Tank (Tank Destroyer) Battalion with anti-tank guns, and the 1012th Separate Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion at Prokhladny.

Reduced to the 15th Separate Rifle Brigade on 1 July, its 924th, 928th, and 932nd Rifle Regiments became the 168th, 172nd, and 176th Separate Rifle Battalions, respectively, while the divisional artillery brigade was eliminated. The 787th Artillery Regiment, the SU-76-equipped 23rd Separate Self-Propelled Artillery Battery, the 332nd Separate Motor Reconnaissance Company, and communications, sapper, and training rifle companies rounded out the brigade. The brigade, with a total personnel strength of 2,010, had all of its units at Nalchik except for the 787th at Prokhladny. The brigade was disbanded in May 1947, and its personnel were used to reinforce other units of the district. Gorbachyov was sent to courses at the Military Academy of the General Staff.
