#OTD 78 years ago the Donbass Offensive of the Red Army during WW2 commenced.
During the operation, the Red Army advanced westwards for 300 km all along the 450-km frontline and defeated 13 German divisions. The liberation of Donbass was accomplished and Soviet soldiers approached the Dnieper. The loss of the important region, rich in coal, had a negative impact on the Third Reich’s economy.

В этот день 78 лет назад в ходе Второй Мировой войны началась Донбасская наступательная операция Красной Армии.
В ходе наступления Красная Армия продвинулась на 300 км на запад на всем 450-километровом участке фронта, разгромив 13 немецких дивизий. Донбасс был очищен от нацистов, советские солдаты вышли к Днепру. Потеря важнейшего региона, богатого углем, имела негативные последствия для экономики Третьего Рейха.
