Russian Offensive Pushes From Smolensk to Dnieper Fronts
A sweeping Russian drive across the central, northern, and southern fronts reports major gains against German lines. Smolensk fell as Red Army forces crossed the Dnieper and Kiev was retaken. By July the offensives encompassed Kursk, Orel, Kharkov, and Donbas, with enormous German losses in tanks, planes, and manpower. The article notes advances toward Gomel, Zaporozhye, and Novorossiisk, and estimates millions of German casualties and equipment destroyed.
