Question

what triggered the operation bagration in 1944 USSR versus germany? the so-called third period of the Great Patriotic War?
can anyone briefly explain the rundown of the event?

Answer 1

Operation Bagration was triggered by the desire for a course of action that would accomplish the most in both military and political terms. The Western Allies had finally promised an amphibious landing in France to commence in May (June); so the State Defense Committee (GKO) and the Soviet General Staff made an analysis of the entire front, and chose to make the main effort in Belorussia - the centerpiece of five different planned offensives (Leningrad Front, Baltic Front, Belorussian Front, Ukranian Front) in the summer of 1944.

Answer 2

The term Great Patriotic War (Russian: Великая Отечественная война, Velikaya Otechestvennaya Voyna[1]) is used in Russia and other states of the former Soviet Union to describe the war of 1941 to 1945 between Nazi Germany and its Axis allies and the Soviet Union. The term is not generally used outside the former Soviet Union (see Eastern Front).

The term was coined following the Axis attack against the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 and was to mobilize the population to defend the motherland. Before then, the term referred to the Patriotic War of Russia against the French invaders under Napoleon in 1812 (now known as the Patriotic War of 1812).

The term Great Patriotic War appeared in the Soviet newspaper Pravda one day after Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, in a long article titled The Great Patriotic War of the Soviet People (Russian: Великая Отечественная война cоветского народа). The term war against aggression was used by the Soviet Union before the involvement of the United States and Japan. The conflict was also known as The Sacred War or The Sacred People's War by Soviet media in the early days of the war.
