Edited. by Daniil Ponomarev [REGNUM] “The troops of the Soviet 4th Ukrainian Front under the command of Army General Tolbukhin went on the offensive against the Nazi troops located on the Perekop Isthmus and the southern coast of Sivash. Our troops broke through the enemy’s heavily fortified defenses on the Perekop Isthmus and, moving forward up to 20 kilometers, captured the city and the Armyansk railway station.” In this operational report of the Sovinformburo dated April 10, 1944, the country learned about the first successes of the Crimean offensive operation, which began two days earlier, on April 8. Fydor Tolbukin had been in command of several operational and strategic formations in the northern coast of the Sea of Azov before the spring of 1944. |
