This is the video you have all been waiting for. Months of planning, heavy research, and editing has led me here. I would like to thank each and every one of you for being so patient with this. I do hope you all enjoy this fascinating documentary that covers both the strategic, operational, and doctrinal developments of Operation Bagration; namely the most decisive Operation in the entirety of the war. Now, why would I say this? The reason is because this was one of the first full-scale Operations to be treated with a degree of finesse when it came to planning. The correlation of forces, as well as careful deceptive calculations (maskirovka) ensured a degree of seriousness when it came to the execution of the operation.
This first part mainly focuses on the context of late 1943 and early 1944 (the Dnieper-Carpathian offensive), which set the tone for the later summer offensive. Hence the first chapter being dubbed 'The Beginnings'. It also mainly covers doctrinal developments, as to offer awareness of the doctrinal significance of Bagration. Hence, chapter II has been dubbed 'The Doctrine'. I will now proceed to work on part 2, along with other non-war related videos on the Soviet Union.
If you enjoyed this video, then please consider checking my other videos out. I do not just focus on military history. I really focus on overall Russian and Eastern European history, with strengths in the early 19th century.

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.
