Grossdeutchland, October 1941

The Grossdeutchland division operated east of Bryansk between 11th and 19th of October, 1941. It has been ordered to stop any soviet attempts to break the encirclement. Right? But how was the terrain like in that region, at that time? Was it covered in mud, or in snow?:neutral:

Btw, did the GD division possesed tanks in 1941? It was an Infantry Regiment.:confused:
I know quite a few about the structure of German combat groups during WWII :(.
