At the end of 1941 in reaction to the German invasion, Stalin ordered the formation of sapper or engineer brigades in the Red Army.
During the offensive, they were tasked with constructing obstacles such as anti-tank hedgehogs and mines to slow down the German tanks and infantry.

Assault Sappers proved themselves in many battles from Kursk to Berlin, especially where standard units had no success.
