Scenario Description
On June 24, the 3rd Army of the 1st Byelorussian Front made a 10 kilometer penetration towards Minsk against the German 134th Infantry Division as part of Operation Bagration. General Jordan, commander of the German 9th Army, received permission from Field Marshal Busch to commit his major reserve, the 20th Panzer Division. The 20th was only at partial strength as one of its tank regiments was being refitted with Panthers but moved out as ordered nonetheless. The Soviet 65th Army, however, had made another breakthrough on the southern approaches to Bobruisk, and, as this penetration deepened, Marshal Rokossovskiy committed the 1st Guards Tank Army to exploit the breach.

Battle Narrative
The Bobruysk Offensive was part of the Belorussian strategic offensive of the Red Army in summer 1944, commonly known as Operation Bagration. In less than a week in late June 1944, the Soviet 3rd Army broke through in the north of the sector, trapping the German XXXV Corps against the Berezina. The 65th Army then broke through the XXXXI Panzer Corps to the south; by 27 June, the two German corps were encircled in a pocket east of Bobruysk under constant aerial bombardment. Up to 70,000 Axis soldiers were killed or taken prisoner. Bobruysk was liberated on 29 June after intense street fighting.
