[edit] BELORUSSIA 1944
This book is an edited translation of the Soviet Staff study of the Red Army's Belorussian operation in the summer of 1944.
The destruction of the German Army Group Centre * A secret official Soviet account * Edited by David Glantz, a leading Soviet Military historian * Wide review coverage in the media * Recent bestsellers include Kursk 1943 The Red Army's Belorussian operation in the summer of 1944 was unprecedented in terms of its scale, scope, and strategic consequences. For the first time in the war, the Soviet Stavka (High Command) planned for a summer campaign consisting of a series of massive and consecutive strategic operations spanning the entire Soviet-German front. It planned to initiate the summer campaign against its old nemesis, German Army Group Center, which was defending in Belorussia, and then extend the campaign with ambitious offensives against virtually every German army group on the front Given the intent of the study, readers have been provided enough detail to study the operation in addition to reading it for 'pleasure'. The Soviets conducted the Belorussian operation with four powerful fronts (army groups) operating under close Stavka control. Over 1.8 million troops, 1.2 million of them in combat formations, sought to accomplish a feat of arms no previous Red Army force had achieved: the defeat and dismemberment of an entire German army group. This study details how that was accomplished in the words of those individuals who planned and orchestrated the operation. The volume is an unexpurgated translation of the Soviet General Staff Study No. 18, published under the rubric of 'war experiences' and originally classified 'Secret'. Prepared to educate Soviet commanders and staff officers, it is the most scholarly and detailed examination of the operation that has appeared to date. While many other books have covered the operation, none has done so as thoroughly from the Soviet perspective. In addition, the book contains a map supplement, including terrain maps, which are vital to following the detailed action, and daily operational maps, which permit the reader to understand the general flow of the operation.
