The economic impact of Operation Bagration, of course, could not be ignored. This specifically pertains to the extent of U.S. Lend-lease as well the state of the German war economy. Hence, the video has a lot of graphs and a lot of data some of which I had to amalgamate myself. This has resulted, in what I think to be, a very unique perspective of the 1944 economy. Data that should be of interest is the completion of Lend-lease deliverables by quarter as well as the order of battle of the 1st Belorussian Front in June of 1944.

The Normandy landings (Operation Overlord) is of course mentioned as it alleviated pressure from Operation Bagration. I hope this puts some counterpoints to rest. I also revisit Maskirovka; however, I go through the specific tactics that were employed such as that of couriers. It will, however, cover the topic in greater detail later on.

Glantz's transfer dates for the 2nd and 3rd Belorussian Front do not match the dates from the official Russian ministry of defense website, so I went with the latter.
