 | | For example, in the smoke support portion of the deception plan for an assault crossing on the Dnieper in October 1943, smoke generation for the 65th Army was carefully planned and successfully executed simultaneously in thirteen sectors across thirty kilometers of the army front. |
 | | General Grechko's part of the deception plan was to portray false concentrations of a tank army and a tank corps, which he decided to place in the Chertov and Kopachynites areas respectively. |
 | | At 0900, 15 July, General Hermann Balck, commander of the XXXXVIII Panzer Corps, in a telephone conversation with the First Panzer Army commander, Colonel General Erhaud Raus, summarized the situation, indicating his belief that a Soviet tank corps was in the fighting. |
