Soviet advances during Operations Uranus, Mars and Saturn Operation Saturn was a Red Army operation on the Eastern Front of World War II that led to battles in the northern Caucasus and Donets Basin regions of the Soviet Union from December 1942 to February 1943.

Soviet Operational Deception: the Red Cloak Prior to the major offensive the area east of Lvov during the summer of 1944, the sector where the main attack thrust was expected, was mined with 160,000 antipersonnel and 200,000 antitank mines within the zone defense. In the Lvov sector, despite great difficulties from hard fighting and constrained maneuver, the 3d GTA and 4th Tank Army advanced through the four- to six-kilometer-wide "Koltov Corridor." In the area southwest of Brody, units of the 3d GTA began to encircle a large German grouping of seven to eight divisions. At the same time that operational deception was being conducted in the 18th Army rear area, an offensive with a limited objective was undertaken on 13 July that coincided with the attack in the Rava Russkaya sector. cgsc.leavenworth.army.mil /carl/resources/csi/Armstrong/ARMSTRONG.asp   (11634 words)

Operation Bagration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The neighbouring Lvov-Sandomierz Operation was launched on July 17, 1944, and quickly routed the German forces in Ukraine.

Middle East Open Encyclopedia: Second Battle of Kharkov The operation called for a concerted effort to crush the Soviet armies within the Izium Salient, captured during the Soviet early spring offensives in March and April.
