1944, moscow, over 57,000 former wehrmacht servicemen. walked in disgrace through the streets of the soviet capital, they dreamed of this procession as victors, but the fascists had to trudge under escort. by evening, the columns of unsuccessful conquerors were followed by field machines, symbolically washing the soviet land from hitler's filth. as participants in the procession, german prisoners of war captured during the offensive operation were selected.

at the age of a golden alloy of experience and energy, knowledge of initiative. georgy fyodorovich zakharov, who was considered one of the most educated, belonged to the same generation. in military terms, commanders of the red army, the fifth stalinist strike was being prepared, the largest in world war ii, the offensive operation bagration with the participation of four soviet fronts, recognition of the merits of colonel-general zakharov's abilities was his appointment on june 4, 1944 to the post of commander of the second belarusian front. this was the general's finest hour. the life

of the future general began on may 5, 1897 in the family of a poor peasant fyodor zakharov , consisting of thirteen souls. in the fall of 1908, his father took eleven-year-old georgy to saratov, where he was an apprentice at a nail factory and an apprentice in a shoemaker's tailor's master. packers warehouse. he was called up to the army in 1915. in the interwar period georgy fyodorovich went from being a battalion commander to the chief of staff of the ural military district. on the eve of the great patriotic war, forty-two-year-old zakharov was perhaps one of.

and wait, so he, of course, had accumulated the appropriate command experience, not long before being appointed commander of the troops of the second belarusian front, he was awarded the order of suvorov of the first degree received the rank of colonel general for another successful implementation of a combat operation. history of the second belarusian front begins on february 17, 1944, when it was, strictly speaking, formed, it took part in the pole offensive operation,

which took place from march 15 to april 5 , 1944, during which damage was inflicted on the enemy's kovel group, but on april 5, forty-fourth year, the front was disbanded and its troops were transferred to staff the belarusian front, but literally 20 days later, on april 24, the front was restored again in operation bagration , it took part in three combined arms armies and one air army. itself belarusian operation, it will be developed from april 1944, it should be noted that its main developer is a native of belarus from grodno antonov. georgy zakharov will become the head of the second belarusian front, it is him.

zakharov and kreizer, the appointment itself will take place on june 6, 1944, and it is seen that , of course, the commander was in control of the entire situation, the operation itself, it begins on june 22 with reconnaissance, this will be partisan mutual assistance, activity, this is a fight on

communications, which is very important, this is of course attack on the garrisons, of which there would be a very large number on the path of the second belarusian front. the second belarusian front, which was commanded by the general at the time, was delivering an auxiliary blow in the mogilev-minsk directions. there were no powerful means for a breakthrough here to launch an offensive simultaneously by all. before the start of operation bagration, the front had about 220 thousand bayonets. more than 4,800 guns and mortars, over 270 tanks and self-propelled artillery units. the german group opposing the troops of the second the belarusian front, which was the fourth field army of the wehrmacht, numbered about 114,000 people. the germans were on the defensive, and

the defense was prepared in advance, well thought out. for that period of time, in military art it was accepted as normal when the attacker has a threefold or more superiority in manpower and equipment, but not less, we see here that the second belarusian front did not have a threefold superiority, therefore, in this situation, the commander of the second belarusian front, colonel general georgy fyodorovich zakharov, he made the following decision, that after they break through... the enemy's defense, to create a mobile group so that it could advance through brezh and, so to speak, be a battering ram in front of the advancing troops of the second belarusian front, such a smart decision, it allowed them to continue to break through the enemy's defense, as the front commander, zakharov was responsible, one might say, for everything, in the event

of victory, that is, the decisions, the tasks set before him by the higher command can be praised, awarded, yes, but this is no longer from it depends on him, but in case of failure, in case of defeat, he is definitely responsible as the front commander, i wish you health, fighters, colonel, he was aware that...

the front, the weakest front, to carry out this operation, realizing that no one would give him any reserves, it was necessary to operate with the forces at his disposal. our troops had to force water borders, this is the pronya river, then not so deep and wide, the basya river, the resta river, and of course, the dnieper, which does not need any comments, this river. the task was reduced to the fact that, in fact, this was the plan of operation bagration, that the troops of the second belarusian front play an auxiliary role, their task is to sort of press the enemy, squeezing him out, but at the same time seizing mogilev, chausy, belynichi, so to speak, in order to

mislead the enemy in their own way, and so we see success in this direction, success is certain.

so they forced the river and ensured the further advancement of the forty-ninth army grishin. the next decision is to create shock

detachments, these are regiments, rifle regiments, reinforced by attached units, there artillery, tanks, which also played a role. this is all a decision of the command, which he, seeing how, so to speak, the situation in the theater of military operations is developing, he makes such decisions. from the evening of the twenty-seventh. june until 10:30 on june 28 , the germans made several attempts to break out of the city in order to get to the minsk highway and move further to minsk, but our troops, in general, having deployed as a matter of fact, did not allow this idea to be realized, and that is after which the battles already on the twenty-eighth, as i have already said, deployed on the streets of the city and, in general, by 18:00 the city was captured. or liberated by soviet troops. on june 28, 1944, after a fierce battle, the troops of the second belarusian front liberated mogilev.

zakharov conveyed this in a report to stalin. on the night of june 27, the troops crossed the dnieper and continued their offensive. by a flanking maneuver of the troops of the fiftieth and forty-ninth armies from the north and southwest, by assault with street fighting for 24 hours. captured a powerful stronghold, a large junction of railways and highways roads, the regional center, the city of mogilev, the nazis failed to turn the city into a fortress, so the city was taken, after which the troops of the second belarusian front continued the operation to destroy the enemy group that was surrounded, that is, they began pursuing the enemy from the wheels, named george.

have strong army mobile detachments. the task of the detachments is to conduct long-range reconnaissance, capture important lines, river crossings, clear roads from small enemy groups. in battle with large enemy forces, do not to get involved, but to bypass them. zakharov ordered the forty-ninth and fiftieth armies to allocate five divisions to eliminate the encircled enemy troops, with some of the forces to bypass the german groups. from the north and south, to dismember them , to destroy the northern and north-eastern volmas in the forests, in the course of the activities of the second belarusian front, the documents

state that this will not just be the liberation of populated areas, this will also be the liberation or liquidation of camps, places of mass extermination, here we will present only in mogilev, there were five of them, we let's imagine, just in minsk, there were nine such places, we imagine... that these are not just places that we designate in terms of memorialization, but these are places that day and night killed residents, killed children, women, well, and i would also like to simply emphasize the significance of the activities of the second belarusian front, because on their way rastenets, lagovshchina, the concentration camp of the nashroko, of course, there remained territories, like minsk somewhere, where there were also thousands. were destroyed, that is, when they advanced, then in each populated area they saw the remains, the remains of that monstrous policy of genocide, for example, in

minsk - these are the burning bodies near the village of malaya trostenets, it is precisely during this period that we know that even such operations as, for example, human shields take place, that is, from the population, this is what is typical, for example, for azarich. when there were battles for the liberation of belarus, the nazis retreated, children were loaded into the death train and transported as human shields. as soon as our aviation began to bomb, the german train stopped, gok! and the children were driven out into the street, seeing them, the pilots ceased fire. here with the help of the second

belarusian front, who were captured, they will march in the parade of shame on july 17 in moscow, it was they who were captured here, yes, this is very significant, because more than twenty generals will be captured, and 19 of them will march there as part of this parade of shame in moscow, that is, this will be, well , an outstanding phenomenon, in the mogilev operation, the military leadership talent was clearly demonstrated. zakharova, the abilities of a military tactician and strategist, the ability to wisely navigate the current situation. the front successfully completed the tasks set, broke through the enemy's strong defense, liberated mogilev, in cooperation with other fronts, drove 100,000 germans into a large cauldron near minsk, liberated minsk, grodno and

belostok. the front commander was awarded the rank of army general in july and awarded the order of suvorov, first degree. and confirmation that zakharov solved the tasks set before the front and coped with them as a front commander, as a military leader. this is if we take mogilev, minsk and belostok operations, he was awarded the rank of army general, this is also an indicator, people who. do not cope with the tasks of higher ranks are not awarded. despite the combat successes, at the end of november 1944, zakharov was demoted. despite all the successes, stalin removed him from the post of front commander demoted, appointing him commander of the fourth guards army. in his place, one of the most talented soviet commanders was appointed. you know that the second front was subsequently headed by

marshal. and hero of the soviet union konstantin konstantinovich rakosovsky, since the first belarusian front was transferred to the command of marshal zhukov, georgy konstantinovich, therefore zakharov, so to speak, was not given his allegiance, he headed the fourth guards army, then already in 1945 he was deputy commander of the fourth ukrainian front. rakosovsky later wrote about this: they accept. the position from army general zakharov, i confess that i felt very awkward in front of him, because he commanded well, suddenly i came to his place, i still half the trouble, taking up an equivalent position, and zakharov is appointed formally speaking, with a demotion.

the fate of colonel general and later general of the army zakharov, it generally stands out, he is one of the few front commanders who was not awarded the high title of hero of the soviet union, despite the fact that he received several military orders, and we can only say that the decision was correct. well, georgy zakharov himself, he has other very high awards, but it is not necessary that all were heroes of the soviet union. zakharov has already gone down in history, the fact that the second belarusian front underwent such reorganizations in 1944, because in this, as they say, there is neither fault nor merit of the front commander, this is a decision of the higher leadership. people's commissar

of defense there and so on, therefore, in this sense , there can be no questions to zakharov. georgy fyodorovich ended his participation in the combat operations of the great patriotic war in the prague operation, as a result of which the defeat of the armed forces of the nazi germany, the territory of czechoslovakia was completely liberated, and with the active support of the combat squads of its capital.
