SZ Photo - Retreat and collapse of Army Group Center, 1944
With Operation Bagration in the summer of 1944, the Red Army pushed the Wehrmacht out of the Soviet Union and almost completely destroyed Army Group Center. This successful ìSoviet Blitzkriegî, which pushed the Wehrmacht back to the Vistula, is considered one of the most serious defeats in German military history and left no serious doubt about the Soviet Union's victory. - This selection contains pictures from our partner agency S¸ddeutsche Zeitung Photo.
