Уникальная кинохроника операции "Суворов". Забытое кровавое сражение за Смоленск (1943)

Operation Suvorov was overshadowed by the gigantic Battle of Kursk and remains an undeservedly forgotten battle of the Great Patriotic War. For two long years of war, Smolensk remained an unattainable goal for the Soviet Supreme Command and only in 1943 did the time finally come for a decisive battle. The Kalinin and Western Fronts had to break through the deeply echeloned defense, defeat the fourth army of the Center Group and reach the Smolensk-Roslavl line. In 57 days of the offensive, units of the Red Army advanced 250 kilometers west and entered the territory of Belarus. However, the victory was achieved at a very high price. __________________________________________________________ Support our channel: https://boosty.to/frontline-footage Follow us on social networks: Telegram https://t.me/FrontDoc VK https://vk.com/warfootage45 Facebook   / docfront   ___________________________________________________________ ✔️Subscribe to the channel!
