	Aberjona Press: Slaughterhouse: The Handbook of the Eastern Front
		They imply that the failed offensives of that period were largely prompted by this mind-set, but that requisite strategic appreciation and operational and tactical skills were lacking to carry out that tradition.
		In general, this expansion of offensive aims could be justified on the basis that one could not determine whether or when German collapse would occur, and, unless one pressed the attack, opportunities would be lost.
		The success of Soviet strategic offensives in 1944 and 1945 makes it more difficult to assess whether military operations at the end of the offensive were simply attempts to exploit success or were designed to posture forces more advantageously for subsequent offensive action (or to deceive the enemy regarding future offensive intentions).

		The Belorussian offensive of 1944, the Iassy-Kishenev offensive of 1944, and the VistulaOder offensive of 1945 exemplified this new maturity.

	The Failures of Historiography: Forgotten Battles of the German-Soviet War (1941-1945)
		That is the major offensive by Central Front on the Kursk-Briansk axis, an offensive which, if successful, could have destroyed German Army Group Center, reached the Dnepr River, and chopped the German Eastern Front in half.
		The first involves a failed offensive late in the Winter-Spring Campaign of 1944, which the Germans label as major and which Soviet historians generally ignore; and the second (covered later) involves an apparent major attempt by Soviet forces at the end of the Summer-Fall Campaign of 1944 to penetrate deep into East Prussia.
		Historians are thus left with the question of whether the Soviet offensive was a major effort to penetrate into Rumania or simply a local assault to improve the Soviet operational posture and opportunities for a renewed offensive in the future.

		The Germans expected the Russians to launch their summer offensive in 1944 around Lvov, and consequently were unprepared for the Belorussian campaign in June.
		These offensives were helped by General Petrov's 4th Ukrainian Front which broke through the Carpathian passes in the north of Hungary and on 30 October Malinovsky launched a powerful drive for Budapest.

		This offensive, which was a total surprise to the Germans (the Soviet deception of the built-up was called Operation,,Maskirovka" and included the June 10 attack at Karelia), liberated Russian soil (July 14) and carried the Soviet troops 600 km further west, to the borders of Germany.
		The Germans knew an offensive was iminent but excellent Soviet deception (much in the same way the Western Allies deception plans (Eg FUSAG) decieved the German defence into keeping 15 Army based in the Calais area away from the landings at D-Day) made the defenders think the operations would occur in the South.
		The general's remains were transferred to the place where he had fallen and remain there to this day (although the grave had been blown up in World War II, it had been restored).
