The weakened force only had one possible refuge, behind the wide Dnepr River. The race to the natural defensive line was on, with the Soviets launching one of their largest offensives of the war – with over 2 million men on the move. Robert Forczyk describes the dramatic four-month campaign that saw the Red Army not only succeed in crossing the Dnepr at multiple points, but also liberate Kiev, capital of the Ukraine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRevealing new detail about the largest Soviet airborne operation of the war and the increasingly desperate delaying tactics employed by Manstein as catastrophic casualties mounted on both sides, Forczyk charts the course of the battle that confirmed to many observers that the relentless Soviet advance westward could not be halted. Berlin would be next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-15\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore-toc\" data-readmore=\"\" aria-expanded=\"true\" id=\"undefined1\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eOrigins of the campaign\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChronology\u003cbr\u003eOpposing commanders\u003cbr\u003eOpposing armies\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eOrders of battle\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eOpposing plans\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eThe campaign\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eAftermath\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eThe battlefields today\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003ci aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eFurther reading\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003ci aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Osprey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949506724139,"sku":null,"price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/9781472812377.jpg?v=1793362306","url":"https:\/\/militaryhistorybooks.com\/products\/the-dnepr-1943-hitlers-eastern-rampart-crumbles-by-robert-forczyk-new-osprey-campaign-series-copy-copy-copy-copy-copy-copy","provider":"Military History Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
