Osprey Bagration: The Great Soviet Offensive

Osprey’s March release is a riveting account of one World War II’s most important yet overlooked campaigns.


Acclaimed Eastern Front historian Prit Buttar meticulously details the massive Soviet offensive that shattered Nazi Germany’s Army Group Centre, turning the tide on the Eastern Front.

Through detailed personal accounts, Buttar reveals the devastating impact of Bagration, which decimated the Wehrmacht’s Army Group Centre and significantly hastened the downfall of the Third Reich. The book shows how the Red Army, in 1944, had an effective leadership and far superior equipment. By contrast, the Wehrmacht was facing a slow decline, with Hitler unwilling to delegate decision-making to commanders in the field, and the loss of thousands of irreplaceable junior officers and NCOs directly impacting its fighting ability.

Beyond the battlefield, Buttar explores the broader geopolitical implications, illustrating how this operation shifted the balance of power in Eastern Europe and set the stage for the post-war order. Bagration 1944 will be essential reading for those who want to fully grasp the complexity of the Eastern Front, and the scale of the Soviet victory.
