John Kettler Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Stalin promised his allies a great offensive to take the pressure off their recently arrived, bogged down troops in Normandy. Though there was considerable doubt he would deliver, he did, 75 years ago to the day,when the Army Group Center shattering OPERATION BAGRATION began. The link has a maps showing the scope of the operation and great summaries of the key points regarding it.

Lille Fiskerby Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 What I remember the most is not even the brutal combat but 60000 german prisoners walking through Moscow as a "proof" to the western allies that the red army had actually done what Stalin had said they had done: destroyed a complete german army group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
