Benjamin Claremont is a PhD candidate at the University of St Andrews' Institute for the Study of War and Strategy.    / whatismoo   ln today's show Ben will be looking at how the Red Army implemented Deep Battle / Deep Operations in 1943-44, through the lens of the Forward Detachment on the basis of lessons learned earlier in the war. This discussion will provide insight into the mechanics of the large scale Soviet offensives and how they functioned to enable Soviet success in the exploitation. People often think about them as this giant armored fist bashing through German defenses, but they were actually enabled by these relatively small highly mobile and aggressive forward detachments far ahead of the main body of forces like fingers outstretched from a palm. Their work to destabilize and fragment the cohesion of the German defensive system is really the tactical enabler of the large scale (operational) success in the Soviet method (i.e. Deep Battle/Deep Operations).
