About the book: 2011 / In June 1944, the Red Army dealt a crushing blow to the German Army Group Center, which literally incinerated the Wehrmacht units located in Belarus. Minsk was liberated in a matter of days, and soon Soviet soldiers reached the borders of the USSR. Tens of thousands of German prisoners marched in a “march of shame” through the streets of Moscow. Operation Bagration, which is described in this book, became a kind of revenge for the summer defeats of 1941.
