The city of Podolsk lays just to the south of Moscow. Its Artillery School, founded in 1938, was preparing anti-tank artillery platoon commanders. The school's profile and location were a major factor in that its cadets and staff were engaged in the Battle of Moscow. All 1,500 cadets and staff of the Podolsk Artillery School and 2,000 cadets and staff of the Podolsk Infantry School were thrown into the severely depleted defense line near Mozhaisk to the west of Moscow. According to some sources, about 500 of the 3,500 survived to continue fighting the war.
