While most Soviet formations were either out of supplies, victory drunk or both, the German landsers were becoming weary of constant defensive action. With new equipment in place and supply lines back to the Reich shortened by the territorial losses of summer, Army High Command could once again be seen with gleams in their eyes. Any offensive, no matter how small, was seen as an opportunity to restore morale to the tired Panzerwaffe. The elite “Grossdeutschland” Division, along with Panzer-Division 24, would get the honors for Army Group North.

The Baltic offensive, also known as the Baltic strategic offensive, was the campaign between the northern Fronts of the Red Army and the German Army Group North in the Baltic States during the autumn of 1944. The result of the series of battles was the isolation and encirclement of the Army Group North in the Courland Pocket and Soviet re-occupation of the Baltic States.
