The Soviet 10th Tank Corps was part of the 1st Tank Army at Kursk where it clashed with the German forces to close the salient. It then took part in the offensive to relieve Kharkov and the advance to the Dnepr River. In November 1943 it went into reserves. Almost a year later, it was redeployed to the Baltic Front.

Kiev, Ukraine

The Second Battle of Kiev was a part of a much wider Soviet offensive in Ukraine known as the Battle of the Dnieper involving three strategic operations by the Soviet Red Army and one operational counterattack by the Wehrmacht, which took place between 3 November and 22 December 1943. Following the Battle of Kursk, the Red Army launched the Belgorod-Kharkov Offensive Operation, pushing Erich von Manstein's Army Group South back towards the Dnieper River. Stavka, the Soviet high command, ordered the Central Front and the Voronezh Front to force crossings of the Dnieper. When this was unsuccessful in October, the effort was handed over to theist Ukrainian Front, with some support from the 2nd Ukrainian Front. Theist Ukrainian Front, commanded by Nikolai Vatutin, was able to secure bridgeheads north and south of Kiev (Kyiv).
