The ENTIRE Operation Bagration: When Army Group Center Vanished

The ENTIRE Operation Bagration: When Army Group Center Vanished On the night of the nineteenth of June, nineteen forty-four, partisans in the forests of Belorussia crept up to the German railways and lit their fuses. Before dawn, about nine thousand six hundred charges had gone off on the lines that fed one German army group. Covered here, in order: How partisans cut the railways behind Army Group Center on the night of June 19, 1944, days before the Red Army attacked. Why German planners moved 88 percent of the group's tanks south, and how Soviet deception hid the real blow in Belorussia. How four Soviet fronts trapped German forces at Vitebsk, Mogilev, Bobruisk and east of Minsk in under two weeks. What happened to the generals who obeyed Hitler's hold-in-place orders, and the 57,640 prisoners marched through Moscow. Why the offensive halted on the Vistula about 300 miles west of its start, and how the casualty counts differ by source. The full fact sheet on Operation Bagration, 1944 is in the pinned comment.
