TO THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE LEGENDARY OPERATION “BAGRATION”. It was not for nothing that the victorious year of 1944 was called “the year of Stalin’s Ten Strikes” - the Red Army carried out a series of successful offensives from the Baltic to the Black Sea. And the most triumphant of them was Operation Bagration – a crushing blow by Soviet troops in Belarus, culminating in the defeat of Army Group Center and the collapse of the German front. This brilliant victory was rightly nicknamed “Stalin’s Blitzkrieg” and “retribution for 1941” - the pace of the offensive of our troops in Belarus were comparable to the rapid advance of the Wehrmacht three years earlier, although the Red Army did not have the advantage of strategic surprise. How did Rokossovsky surpass the great Bagration? Why did the Germans “miss a blow” and for the first time were unable to restore the front? How did our troops manage to wage a war of maneuver in territory that the enemy considered inaccessible to tanks and virtually impassable? What is the secret of this grandiose triumph, which became one of the “cleanest” and most glorious victories of Russian weapons? In the latest book of the leading military historian you will find answers to all these questions.
