During the destruction of Army Group Center, many of Hitler’s “Fortified Localities” were cut off and surrounded by the Russian advance. Bokruisk was just such a city. The city had become a fortress with pillboxes and old tank turrets being used throughout. The Russian attack came from the north and south where the Germans were weakest. After successfully breaking through the fixed outer defenses, the Russian attack turned into bloody street fighting.

Bokruisk, Russia

Operation Bagration was the codename for the 1944 Soviet Belorussian Strategic Offensive Operation, a military campaign fought between 23 June and 19 August 1944 in Soviet Byelorussia in the Eastern Front of World War II. The Soviet Union destroyed 28 of 34 divisions of Army Group Centre and completely shattered the German front line. It was the biggest defeat in German military history and the fifth deadliest campaign on in Europe, killing around 450,000 soldiers.
