Only the swift defeat of the USSR gave the Germans the opportunity to ensure panic on the continent. In addition, it gives access to the rich industrial and rural areas of Western Europe.

At the same time, as historians respect, Stalin himself was born in 1939. Having praised the decision about the foreign attack on the Nimechchina flight in 1941. On the 15th of June, the Radyansky troops began to strategically flare up and hang out to the closing cordon. According to one version, it was based on the method of attacking Romania and the occupation of Poland by the Germans, in order to spite Hitler and confuse him with his plan. I will attack the USSR.

The first period of the war (22 Chernya 1941 – 18 November 1942)

The first stage of the German offensive (22 cherven - 10 linya 1941)

The main reason for the defeats of the Red Army, regardless of its technical superiority (T-34 and KV tanks), was the weak training of privates and officers, the low level of exploitation of troops oh technology and the presence of military evidence in the conduct of great military operations in the minds of the current war . The repression of the enemy command in 1937–1940 also played a small role.

The Left Bank Ukraine fell into the hands of the Germans; the route to Donbas was windy; The Radian troops near Krim appeared cut off from the main forces.

Defeats on the fronts prompted Headquarters to issue the 16th order No. 270, which qualified all soldiers and officers who had surrendered, both soldiers and deserters; Their families received support from the state and continued the message.

The third stage of the German offensive (30th spring - 5th birthday 1941)

On June 30, Army Group “Center” launched an operation from the sinking of Moscow (“Typhoon”). On June 3, Guderian's tanks escaped to Oryol and entered the road to Moscow. On June 6–8, all three armies of the Bryansk Front were completely new to Bryansk, and the main forces of the Reserve (19th, 20th, 24th and 32nd armies) were on their way to Vyaz; The Germans buried 664 thousand.

There was a threat of entrapment of the Army Group “Center” overnight. The strategic initiative passed to the Red Army.

The success of the operation near Moscow prompted Headquarters to praise the decision to move to a full offensive along the entire front from Lake Ladozkoe to Crimea. The offensive operations of the Radian troops in 1941 - 1942 led to a significant change in the military-strategic situation on the Radian-German front: the Germans were thrown into from Moscow, including Moscow, part of the Kalinin, Oryol and Smolensk regions. There was a psychological turning point among the soldiers and the civilian population: the belief in victory grew, the myth about the inability of the Wehrmacht collapsed. The collapse of the plan for the immediate war gave rise to doubts about the successful outcome of the war both among the German military-political establishment and among ordinary Germans.

Lubansk operation (13 sichnya – 25 chernya)

After the occupation in 1941 Estonia Tallinn Metropolitan. Alexander (Paulus) declared about the strengthening of the Estonian parishes in the Russian Orthodox Church (the Estonian Apostolic Orthodox Church was created with the initiative of Alexander (Paulus) in 1923, in 1941 the bishops brought repentance to the schism of sin). U zhovtni born 1941 With the help of the German Commissioner General of Belarus, the Belarusian Church was created. However, Panteleimon (Rozhnovsky), who honored them in the rank of Metropolitan of Minsk and Belarus, retained canonical affiliation with the Patriarchal Intercessor, Metropolitan. Sergiy (Stragorodsky). After the violent administration of Metropolitan Panteleimon in 1942, Archbishop Philotheus (Narco) became his defender, who also decided to arbitrarily vote for a national autocephalous Church.

Looking at the patriotic position of the Patriarchal Minister, Metropolitan. Sergius (Stragorodsky), the German government immediately overrode the activities of these priests and parishes, who declared their belonging to the Moscow Patriarchate. Over the years, the German government has become more tolerant of the communities of the Moscow Patriarchate. In the opinion of the occupiers, these communities merely verbally declared their loyalty to the Moscow center, but in reality they were ready to accept the German army from the poor atheistic Radian state.

In the occupied territory, thousands of churches, churches, and prayer houses of various Protestant denominations (especially Lutherans and Pentecostals) resumed their activities. This process was especially active in the Baltic States, in the Vitebsk, Gomel, Mogilev regions of Belarus, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhya, Kiev, Voroshilovgrad Kiy, Poltava regions of Ukraine, Rostov, Smolensk regions of the RRFSR.

The religious official was involved in planning domestic policy in areas of traditional Islam, especially in Crimea and the Caucasus. German propaganda declared respect for the values ​​of Islam, presented the occupation as the liberation of peoples from the “Bolshevik godless yoke,” and guaranteed the creation of minds for the revival of Islam. The occupiers were willing to open mosques in every populated area of ​​the “Muslim regions” and gave the Muslim clergy the opportunity to reach out to the believers through radio and print. Throughout the occupied territories where Muslims lived, the plantings of mullahs and senior mullahs were restored, the rights of which were equal to the heads of the administration of towns and settlements.

When forming special units at the military warehouse of the Red Army, great respect was given to confessional affiliation: since the “army of General Vlasov” was important to guide representatives of the peoples, traditionally Christianity, then such formations as the “Turkestan Legion”, “Idel-Ural”, sent representatives of the “Islamic " peoples.

The “liberalism” of German rule did not extend to all religions. Many communities were caught between poverty, for example, in the Dvinsk region alone, almost all 35 synagogues that operated before the war were destroyed, up to 14 thousand were destroyed. Jews Most of the communities of Evangelical Christian Baptists that settled on the occupied territory also suffered poverty or were expelled by the government.

Under the pressure of the Radyan army to deprive the occupied territories, the German fascist fireplaces exported liturgical objects, icons, paintings, books, and items made of precious metals from prayer houses.

Following the far from complete data of the Superordinate Power Commission, which established and investigated the atrocities of the German fascist prisons, 1670 Orthodox churches were completely devastated, looted or desecrated in the occupied territories kov, 69 chapels, 237 churches, 532 synagogues and 4 mosques. In the midst of destitution and desecration by the fascists, priceless monuments of history, culture and architecture emerged, incl. which dates back to the XI-XVII centuries, in Novgorod, Chernigov, Smolensk, Polotsk, Kiev, Pskov. A number of prayer bells were destroyed by the occupiers at the village, barracks, camps, and garages.

The situation and patriotic activity of the Russian Orthodox Church in the hour of war

22 chervenya 1941 r. Patriarchal Minister Metr. Sergius (Stragorodsky) sklav “Message to the shepherds and flocks of Christ’s Orthodox Church,” in which he revealed the anti-Christian essence of fascism and called on the believers to defend themselves. In their papers before the Patriarchate, believers reported on voluntary collections of sacrifices that began everywhere for the needs of the front and the defense of the country.

After the death of Patriarch Sergius, according to his commandment, Metropolitan ascended to the right of interim successor to the patriarchal throne. Alexy (Simansky), unanimously addressed at the last meeting of the Land Council on 31 September - 2 February 1945. Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia. Present at the Council were Patriarchs Christopher II of Alexandria, Alexander III of Antioch and Kalistratus of Georgia (Tsintsadze), representatives of the Patriarchs of Constantinople, Jerusalem, Serbia and Rumania.

1945 r. The so-called Estonian schism was overturned; the Orthodox parishes and clergy of Estonia were adopted from the Russian Orthodox Church.

Patriotic activity of communities of other faiths and religions

Immediately after the start of the war, religious leaders of almost all religious communities of the USSR supported the free struggle of the people of the region against the German fascist aggressor. Turning to believers with patriotic messages, they called for the withdrawal of their religious and enormous obligation to protect the Great Patriotic War, to provide all possible material assistance to the needs of the front and the front. The leaders of most religious associations of the USSR condemned representatives of the clergy, who knowingly went to the other side and helped to impose a “new order” on the occupied territory.

The head of the Russian Old Believers of the Bilokrinitsa hierarchy is Archbishop. Irinarch (Parfenov) at the Revelation Envoy, 1942. calling on the Old Believers, most of whom fought on the fronts, to valiantly serve in the Red Army and against the enemies in the occupied territory from the partisans’ fronts. U Travna, born 1942 The church workers of the Spilok Baptists and Evangelical Christians attacked the believers with the leaflet; The beast spoke about the dangers of fascism “for the sake of the Gospel” and there was a call for “brothers and sisters in Christ” to resign “their obligation before God and before the Fatherland”, being “the best warriors on the front and the best people delve into the tila." Communities of Baptists were busy with sewing, collecting clothes and other speeches for soldiers and the families of the dead, helping to look after the wounded and sick in hospitals, caring for orphans in children's kennels. At the meeting in the Baptist communities of Koshti, a sanitary flight “Good Samaritan” was created to transport seriously wounded soldiers to the area. Renewal leader A.I. repeatedly spoke at patriotic animal events. Vvedensky.

Due to the low level of other religious beliefs, the power's policy became invariably cruel. Before us, there were “anti-power, anti-Radyan and Buzuvir sects”, before the rise of the Doukhoborts

    The attack on the Radyansky Union began without a stunned war in the Rankov year of 22 Chernya, 1941. Despite the extensive preparations before the war, the attack turned out to be absolutely unbearable for the USSR, and the German army managed to proceed without a drive for the attack.

    The military forces of the first years instilled renewed hope for the success of the blitzkrieg. Armored formations protruded rapidly and occupied large expanses of the region. During the great battles, the Radyan Army experienced millions of losses in deaths and losses. A great deal of military equipment was destroyed or buried as trophies. Once again it seemed that, doubting and feeling out of fear, that they had expanded into Germany, regardless of the detailed ideological preparation, the successes of the Wehrmacht had been lost. The ecclesiastical guardian council of the German Evangelical Church felt that they had amassed riches by singing Hitler by telegraph about the fact that “whom all Evangelical Christianity supports the Reich in the greatest battles to the death “It is against the order of the advanced Christian culture.”

    The successes of the Wehrmacht prompted different reactions from the Radyan side. When there was panic and destruction, the soldiers lost their military units. And now Stalin has stubbornly grown to a population of less than 3 limes. In areas buried or annexed by the Radyansky Union in 1939/40 pp. Part of the population believed in the Germans as liberators. From the first day of the war, the protean army made an undeniably strong defense against hopeless situations. And the huge population took an active part in the evacuation and relocation of industrial objects important to the military beyond the Urals.

    Stayki Radyanski Opir I Big Take the Nimeskiy Velomsky (up to 1 infantry 1941 p. Blizko 200,000 driving Islimi, Maya 500,000 wounded), Impae, the NIMTSIV was lightly rewind. The autumn weather, the snow and the stinging cold of the winter spoiled the military activities of the Wehrmacht. Before the war, in winter’s minds, the German army was not prepared; it was hoped that victory would be achieved at this time. The attempt to establish Moscow as the political center of the Radyansky Union proved to be a failure, although the German troops reached the site at a distance of 30 kilometers. At the beginning of the battle, the Radyan Army uncontrollably launched a counterattack, which was successful not only near Moscow, but also on other parts of the front. Tim himself was still aware of the catastrophe and the concept of the Bliskavich war.

    Vlitku 1942 new strength was accumulated to push it straight ahead. Although the German troops were able to conquer large territories and reach the Caucasus, they could not appear anywhere. The naphtha industries were in the hands of the Radyans, and Stalingrad became a bridgehead at the entrance to the Volga. At leaf fall 1942 The line of the German fronts in favor of the Radyansky Union reached its greatest extent, and the greatest success was achieved by our people.

    Sichen - Berezen 1942 r. The broad winter offensive of the Radyan Army, often successful, failed to achieve its goals through great expense.

    I spoke on the radio of the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs Molotov on June 22, 1941.

    The giants and the giants of the Radyansky Union! The Radyan district and his head, Comrade Stalin, instructed me to make the following statement:

    Today, on the 4th anniversary of the war, without making any claims to the Radyansky Union, without causing war, German troops attacked our country, attacked our cordons in rich places and bombed their own pilots. our places - Zhytomyr, Kiev, Sevastopol, Kaunas and Days other, and more than two hundred people were killed and injured. The influx of hostile fighters and artillery shelling also came from Romanian and Finnish territory. This inconsiderate attack on our country is a treachery unheard of in the history of civilized peoples. The attack on our country has been carried out, regardless of those who have concluded a non-aggression treaty between the USSR and Germany, and the Radyansky district has, with all the confusion, concluded all the agreements. The attack on our country is suppressed, regardless of those who, for the entire hour of the treaty, the German government could not once present a claim to the USSR for violating the treaty. All the blame for this destructive attack on the Radyansky Union as a whole and directly falls on the German fascist rulers. [...]

    This war was imposed on us not by the German people, not by German workers, villagers and intelligentsia, the suffering of which we well understand, but by a clique of bloody fascist rulers of Germany, the French, the Czechs, Poles, Serbs, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Greece and others people. . [...]

    This is not the first time our people have had to face an enemy from the right. It's time for Napoleon's campaign to Russia, our people survived the Great Patriotic War and Napoleon recognized the defeats that led to his collapse. Those same ones will be with Hitler, who voiced a new campaign against our land. The Chervona Army and all our people will once again lead the war for the Batkivshchyna, for honor, for freedom.

    Lesson from the story of Olenya Skryabina dated June 22, 1941. about the news about Nimechchina's attack.

    Molotov's words sounded in a hushed, quavering voice, and nothing died. This cheerful cry sounded completely inappropriate. It suddenly felt like a monster was approaching menacingly and quickly and was making everyone scared. After the sound, I ran over the top. The place was in panic. People quickly exchanged words, rushed to stores and bought everything they could get their hands on. The stinks rushed uncontrollably through the streets, destroying a lot of people in order to take their treasures. This sickness overwhelmed me, and I tried to withdraw rubles from my savings account. But I arrived too late, the boat was empty, the payment was pinned down, until everyone was noisy and squawking. And the scarlet day of palahkots, the burning was unbearable, who felt bad, even barked at the roar. The whole day the mood was restless and tense. The next night it became wonderfully quiet. It seemed like everyone was huddled in fear.

    The enemy squeezed us at the ring. Uninterrupted cannonade. A duel between artillerymen, mortarmen and machine gunners. There is insecurity and fear all day long.

    They say that the Fuhrer’s highest order is that those who are captured and those who are fully surrendered will no longer be subject to execution. This makes me happy. Come on! Many of the people who were shot, which I found on the ground, lay with their arms raised without armor and without a belt. I count at least a hundred people like that. They say that the envoy was shot, who is the one with the great ensign! During the day they learned that the Russians were surrendering in whole companies. Let's ruin the method.

    2. The march to the Gathering may end otherwise, for example, the war against the French. This summer it becomes increasingly clear to us that here, at the Gathering, two internal, incompetent views are fighting one against one: the German sense of honor and race, the rich German army against the Asian type of mentality and primitive instinct ів, which are fueled by a small number of Jewish attitudes: a lack of moral values, equating with inferiors, the ignorance of one’s life, which is of no value.

    More strongly, however, we believe in a historical turn, if the German people, through the advantage of their race and their successes, pass control of Europe. We are clearly aware of our cry to steal European culture from Asian barbarism. Now we know that we will have to fight against an embittered and inveterate enemy. This struggle may end with the disadvantages of both sides; We can’t please anyone. [...]

    6. I hope that every soldier of the army takes pride in our successes and feels almost insanely proud. These are the lands we conquered. Our feeling of panic is manifested not in the current calm, not in unimportant behavior, and not in the clumsy transfer of power over other people, but in the obvious opposition to Bolshovism, in strong discipline, indestructible and pleasantness and unsweetened sweetness.

    8. Sweetness and softness in relation to the population are not to blame. The red soldiers killed our wounded like beasts; the stinkers brutally dealt with the prisoners and killed them. We can remember this because the population, which endured the Bolshevik yoke, now wants to accept us out of joy and worship. The completely “Volksdeutsche” track is conducted with a sense of self-knowledge and calm streamlinedness. The fight against the food shortages that are looming is to overcome the self-government of the enemy population. Be it any trace of active or passive support or any machinations of the Bolshevik-Jewish bureaucrats, the trace must be carefully rooted out. The need for brutal attacks against the enemies of the people and our policy of elements may have been realized by the soldiers. [...]

    Every day we never have to respect the universal significance of our struggle against Radyanskaya Russia. The Russian mass has been paralyzing Europe for two centuries. The need to show respect to Russia and the fear of its possible attack steadily weighed heavily on Europe's political waters and galvanized the peaceful development. Russia is not a European, but an Asian power. The skin of the gloomy, subdued side allows for this difference. From this pressure and from the ruinous forces, Bolshovism needs to once again liberate Europe and especially Germany.

    For whom are we struggling and working?

    Report from the commander of the 2nd Panzer Army, General von Schenken-Dorff, dated March 24, 1942. to the drive of looting.

    Commander of the 2nd Tank Army 24.3.42
    Rel.: unverified requisition;
    supplement

    1) The commander of the 2nd Tank Army reported on 23.2.42: “The unauthorized requisition by German soldiers near Navleya is increasing. From Gremyachy (28 km on the daytime approach from Karachov), soldiers from the territory of Karachev brought 76 cows without retrieval, from Plastovoy (32 km on the daytime approach from Karachov) - 69 cows. In both places there was no more loss of thinness. In addition, the Russian security service was disbanded from Plastovoy; The next day the place would be occupied by partisans. On the territory of Sinezerka (25 km on the day from Bryansk), the soldiers of the platoon commander, Fel-Feb Sebastian (code 2), wildly requisitioned thinness, and shot at the village headman and lieutenants of the local settlement. [...]

    Such episodes are being reported more and more often. In connection with this, I especially point out the visible punishments about the behavior of the military and their compliance with the instructions. The stench has been re-imagined at the supplement once again.”

    German soldiers were killed and German artillery was abandoned during the hour of the Red Army's chest counterattack near Moscow. For an additional effect, a crow was added to the photo for additional editing.


    Having finally subsided the last assault on Moscow, the German command had exhausted all its reserves and began to go on the defensive. The commander of the German 2nd Panzer Army, G. Guderian, was afraid to know that Army Group Center's offensive on Moscow had failed. The Radyan command correctly identified this moment and ordered the counterattack. On the 5th and 6th of 1941, the counter-offensive of the Radian troops at the battle of Moscow began. The offensive took the fate of the Kalinin Front under the leadership of Colonel General I. S. Konev, the Western Front under the command of Army General G. K. Zhukov and the right wing of the Western Front - Marshal S. K. Timoshenko.

    The battles from the very beginning developed a baked character. 8th century, the commander-in-chief of the German armored forces, Adolf Hitler, was hesitant to sign Directive No. 39 about the transition to defense along the entire Radian-German front. The Red Army, regardless of the constant superiority in manpower, tanks and troops, important natural minds, already in the first days of the counterattack broke through the defense of the German troops on the day before Kalinin and on the evening n entry from Moscow, cutting off the forest and the Kalinin-Moscow highway and liberating a number of populations points. It is clear that the Radyan army gained victories by sacrificing their soldiers and technical capabilities to the enemy. Special warehouse: Chervona Army - 1.1 million people, Wehrmacht - 1.7 million (spread ratio 1:1.5); tanks: 744 versus 1170 (spread ratio to German cost 1:1.5); shells and mortars: 7652 versus 13500 (1:1.8).

    At the same time, the troops, who were advancing on the day approach from the Radyan capital, went on a counterattack, parts of the left wing of the Western and right wing of the Western Front. The heavy attacks of the Radyan troops on the flanks of the German army group “Center”, which were intended to round up the outskirts of Moscow, made it difficult for the enemy command to go ahead and reduce its forces in the face of complete defeat.
    On the 9th anniversary of 1941, Chervona, the Army occupied Rogachovo, Venev and Yelets. 11th Breast of the Radyanskiy Army of Stalinogorsk, 12th Breast - Sonyachnogirsk, 13th Breast - Efremov, 15th Breast - Klin, 16th Breast - Kalinin, 20th Breast - Volokolamsk. The 25th Red Army on a wide front reached the Oka. The enemy's 28th breast was captured from Kozelsk, the 30th from Kaluga, and in early 1942 Meshchovsk and Mosalsk were captured.

    The woman is in contact with the military servicemen who formed her village. Winter 1941 - 1942


    At the beginning of 1942, units of the right flank of the Western Front made their way between the Lama and Ruza rivers. At that time, the Kalinin Front of the Viyshov Cordon Pavlikovo, Staritsa. The troops of the central grouping of the Western Front occupied Naro-Fominsk on the 26th, 2nd from Maloyaroslavets, and 4th from Borovsk. The expansion of the Radian troops was successfully developing both on the left wing of the Western Front, as well as on the Bryansk Front under the command of General Ya. T. Cherevichenko. By July 7, 1942, the counterattack near Moscow was completed.

    As a result of the Radian counterattack near Moscow, a most important development began - first, in the Second World War, the insurmountable Wehrmacht was defeated, and then it suffered defeats from the Red Army. The German military was thrown 100-250 kilometers away from the capital of the Russian Empire, and the threat of the enemy burying the most important economic and transport center of the USSR and the Moscow industrial area was removed. The success was obvious, and its significance went far beyond the days of the military administration.

    Near Moscow, the Germans, first in the Other World War, began to expend a strategic initiative and withdrew a strong blow, the “impossible” German soldiers shuddered and fled. Berlin’s strategic plan is a “Bliskavich war”, but there are still failures. The Third Reich faced the threat of a terrible, protracted war in the snow, which the German command was ready for. The military-political bureaucracy of the Reich had a chance to formulate a new war plan, reorganize the economy for the final war, and extract great material resources. That really is a serious procrastination of Berlin. The USSR had emerged as much stronger, as the Nazis thought. Germany appeared unprepared before the protracted war. To achieve this, it was necessary to radically rethink the entire economy of Germany, its current and internal policies, and the military strategy.

    During the battle for Moscow, the German army experienced great losses in special power and technology. Thus, from the beginning of 1941 to the end of 1942, nearly 650 thousand people were killed, wounded, and others screaming in obscurity. To put it into perspective, during the entire military campaign at Zakhodi in 1940, the Wehrmacht spent nearly 27 thousand. osib. In an hour from the beginning of 1941 to the beginning of 1942, the German armies spent 2,340 tanks near Moscow, while the German industry could produce more than 1,890 tanks. Aviation recognized the great expenses that could not be fully compensated for by industry.

    During the hour of the battle for Moscow, the strength and morale of the German army was broken. From this moment on, the strength of the German machine changed, and the strength of the Red Army gradually grew. Of particular significance to this strategic success is the fact that the victory was achieved by transporting Germans in manpower, tanks and aircraft (the Red Army had superiority only in aviation). The Radyansky command decided to compensate for the shortage of soldiers and the replacement of armored vehicles in the future by choosing the moment of choosing the offensive. The German offensive was seen, the units were drained of blood, exhausted by difficult battles, reserves were wasted. The German command had not yet managed to move to a strategic defense and establish defensive formations, preparing for a good strengthening of the position. Before that, Moscow was on the verge of rapt advance. The German command was convinced that the Red Army was also drained of blood and could not deliver strong blows. The Germans turned out to be unprepared for the unforeseen attack. As a result, resistance to the attack became one of the main reasons for the success of the counterattack. In addition, the Radyan command for the important battle for Moscow was able to prepare reserves. Thus, for the development of the counterattack, 2 armies, 26 riflemen and 8 cavalry divisions, 10 rifle brigades, 12 additional infantry battalions and approximately 180 thousand were recruited. osіb marching replenishment.

    Another factor that called for the victory of the Red Army near Moscow was the high fighting spirit of the Radian warriors. The courage, stamina, dedication of the peasant soldiers and commanders, which seem to prevail among the most important minds, allowed the Wehrmacht to rise above the first-class combat machine.

    The victory near Moscow is small but of great political and international significance. All the peoples of the world knew that the Red Army was ready to beat the German armies. There is no doubt that the successes near Moscow will contribute to the further course of both the Great German War and all other world wars in general. This victory became the consolidation of the systematic increase in strength of the entire anti-Hitler coalition. The prestige of Nazi Germany and its European allies has declined greatly. The defeat of the Wehrmacht near Moscow promptly plunged the Japanese and Turkish ruling stakes, such as Berlin, into an open attack against the USSR. Japan and Turkey were counting on the fall of Moscow to enter the battle of Germany, but now they began to vanish again.

    In the midst of historical periods, over which time has no control, there is a special place to take place in the Battle of Moscow, within the framework of which a counter-offensive was launched near Moscow. At the end of the autumn of 1941, when the need for the founding of our state became increasingly urgent, the answer lay in whether Moscow could withstand the onslaught of the German Wehrmacht. Its motorized and army corps, which had not yet known the brutal defeat of the Other World War, swept away all the barriers on their way, broke through the strategic front and, having sharpened the strength of the three Radian fronts, From Vyazma and Bryansk, they destroyed it to Moscow.

    Such a dramatic situation seemed likely to lead to the greatest injustice. At that time, not only the enemies, but also the friends of our land did not doubt that Moscow’s share was in advance, and its fall was on the right for many days to come.

    However, despite all the gloomy forecasts, nothing happened. The defenders of the capital together with the residents of Moscow and the Moscow region, heroically fighting against the enemy, turned the place into an impregnable fortress. The stinks fought from the fireplaces day and night, on the front and in the cold, at the enemy’s front and in the skies of the capital. The enemy's forces were exhausted by persistent defensive positions, counterattacks and counterstrikes, the introduction of fresh reserves and blows from the wind. And from the moment the Germans reached the outskirts of the capital, the inhabitants of the streets of the city could marvel through binoculars.

    The Radian army went from defensive to counterattack

    The Radyan command, preparing a counter-offensive, began to work as hard as possible to seize their lives from the enemy. The planning of the operation at the fronts was carried out by a limited number of people, and the combat documents before it were especially sorted out by the chief of staff of the front. The army commanders were ahead of themselves with the directive they had won:

    “Only the member of the Viyskova or the chief of staff will know about the transition to the counter-offensive. The Vikonians should be given orders from the unit that they are worried about.”

    Negotiations about a counter-offensive from technical types of communication were defended.

    However, it would be difficult to accept such a large-scale regrouping of the enemy’s forces while being in direct contact with him. It is clear that captured and other documents, records, seized by the German side from undercover intelligence and other types of intelligence, allowed them to paint a completely complete picture about the Chervono camp ї Armies and plans її command. The reports indicated that the great forces of the Russians were approaching Moscow on Sunday and Sunday. However, despite the alarming nature of these reports, adequate assessments from the side of the German command were denied. Having continued to be completely deprived of their illusions, it was important that the Russians were no longer able to introduce significant forces into their forces, and the fact of the appearance of new units near Moscow was regarded as a normal regrouping of troops from passive units to active ones. against the German offensive. The 4th commander of Army Group Center, Field Marshal Fedir von Bock, responded to one of these intelligence reports by reacting like this:

    “...The enemy’s combat capabilities are less great, so that with these forces... they can launch a great counter-offensive.”

    The German command flattened its eyes on the support of the Radyan troops, which had become stronger, and its growing activity. Deprived of its special warehouse, and a brand of the influx of weather minds, it was explained by the situation that the German armies, which did not withstand counterattacks, were raised near Yakhroma, Kubinka, Naro-Fominsky, Kashira, Tula and on other Ilyankah.

    In contrast to his recent declarations such as “even before the start of winter, the enemy will be defeated,” “the enemy will never rise,” Hitler once again declared that the Wehrmacht’s troubles near Moscow were due to the cold winter that had already arrived. it's too early. Protea, such argumentation is not overkill. Even though the average temperature in the Moscow region, and as a result of the sacrificial operations of the Army Group “Center”, at the end of the fall the temperature was at exactly minus 4-6°C. However, frozen swamps, streams, and other rivers, together with a shallow snow cover, sharply reduced the permeability of German tanks and motorized units, which took away their ability to avoid getting involved in the snow. And, they move along the roads, go to the flanks and in the rear of the Radian troops. Such minds were close to ideal. It’s true, from 5 to 7 breasts, when the mercury drops to minus 30-38 ° C, the population becomes noticeably depressed. The very next day the temperature rose to zero. Well, the motivated Fuhrer seems to be obligated to seize the truth about the formation on a similar front, to take responsibility for the failure to prepare his troops for action from the winter minds, and to preserve the unprestigious prestige of the political leader. іyskovogo kerіvnitsa to the Reich.

    For an hour, the counterattack of the Red Army continued to gain momentum. The troops of the right wing of the Western Front, interacting with the Kalinin Front, launched attacks on the Klinsk-Sonyachnogorsk and Kalinin grouped enemy, and the adjacent flanks of the Western and Pivdenno-Zakhidny fronts - on its 2 1st tank and 2nd field armies.

    The 30th Army under the command of Major General D.D. Lelyushenko, having broken through the defense front of the 3rd tank group with his center, immediately approached Klin. Here the Germans especially repaired the operation. On the right is that the arrival of the Radian troops on the near approaches to Klin created the threat of a deep flank attack on the German troops that were making an early approach from Moscow. That's why the German command had a chance to quickly strengthen its Klinsk grouping for the transfer of troops from other villages. Already on the 7th, units of six tank divisions began to move to the Klin area. This situation led to the increased presence of the 30th Army, and it was easier for the other troops of the right wing of the Western Front to conduct combat operations.

    Protely, the pace of the advance of the Radyan army became even lower: it became only 1.5-4 km per gain. The Nazis, who were advancing, were involved in the battle for Volodin with strongholds, which were hastily created by the Germans in populated areas, road junctions and on the heights, which were pandering, but, unfortunately, with which the stench was very noticeable. Those of them, who showed themselves miraculously in defensive battles, did not lose sight of the mystery of conducting an offensive battle.

    On Kalininsky directly the counter-offensive developed even more rapidly. 29th Army under the command of Lieutenant General I.I. Maslenikova, instead of giving one blow, launched an attack simultaneously on three plots of the front, before that, one at a time at 7-8 km. Kozhna, from the three divisions that were advancing, began to strike on a 1.5-kilometer front. The units that were attacking were wedged into the enemy’s defenses, but when they were hit by fire from both flanks, the confusion began to grow. The next day, the Germans launched strong counterattacks and again pushed the Radyan units to the left bank of the Volga. In fact, until the end of the fifth day of fighting, the united 29th Army was lost on the same lines from which the attack began. For example, the 31st Army, commanded by Major General V.A. Yushkevich, I achieved success. Vaughn established a bridgehead on the right birch of the Volga and by the end of the 9th breast penetrated 10-12 km, cutting the Kalinin-Turginov highway and thereby creating a threat to the enemy’s grouping in Kalinin.

    At that very hour, the armies of the right wing of Zahidny continued to advance. At the end of the 12th century, the stench penetrated another 7-16 km. Now the line of the front passed on the outward approach, on the outward and outward descent from Klin and on the way up to the Istra watershed, adv. Istr. The location of Sonyachnogirsk and Istra was released.

    The Germans, trying to overcome the advance of the Radyan troops, interrupted the rowing. The advance clattered. In order to close the roads that lead to the approach, and to ensure the withdrawal of the lead forces of the 3rd and 4th tank groups to the cordon of Volokolamsk, Ruza, the enemy continued to fight incessantly in the area of ​​Klin and the Istrinsky reservoir.

    The Radyansk command strengthened the army and carried out a regrouping; during the offensive, it developed with insufficient strength. The united forces, as before, prioritized frontal attacks on the enemy's fortified strongholds, rather than withdrawing them for further entrapment. To that end, Army General G.K. Zhukov, by directive of the 13th, was again captured by the army of the right wing:

    “Unapproachable and energetic insistence will complete the rout of the enemy, and the 30th and 1st Shock Army will be able to partially defend the enemy in the Klin area.”

    The commander of the Western Front categorically blocked the frontal attacks of the fortified units from the support of the enemy. Vin punished:

    “The interrogation should be carried out strictly, without allowing the enemy’s intervention. Widely stagnation of strong forward corrals, burying knots of roads, ravines, disorganization of the enemy’s marching and combat formations.”

    The 11th Army united the 16th Army of the Western Front under the command of General K.K. Rokosovsky was coated with the Istrinsky water reservoir. However, after a swell of rowing, the krieg sank 3-4 m and the western bank was covered with a nearly meter-long ball of water. In addition, on this birch, which had suffered from serious natural disturbances, part of five enemy divisions took up defensive positions. To bypass the drainage basin from the daytime, and the river from the daytime, General Rokossovsky formed two crumbling groups. One group was defeated by General F.T. Remizov, inshu – General M.Ye. Katukiv. Commander of the Western Front, General G.K. Zhukov transferred the settlement of the 5th Army to the 2nd Guards Cavalry Corps of General L.M. Dovatora, two separate tank battalions and other units.

    In the developments on the right wing of the Western Front, the stagnation of crumbling groups is of little importance. Using their maneuvering abilities, they launched rapt and resounding attacks on the enemy’s flanks, and went out of their way. Particularly hostile results of this stage of the counter-offensive were achieved by the crumbling group L.M. Dovator. This can be seen not only from the historical documents of the military headquarters, but also from the operational formations of the Army Group “Center”.

    Despite the difficulties and shortcomings, the counter-offensive developed successfully. During the 11 days of the offensive, the troops of the Western Front advanced on their right wing from 30 to 65 km, their average pace becoming at least 6 km per gain. The troops of the left wing of the Kalinin Front reached a distance of 10 to 22 km. Their average pace did not exceed 0.8-1.8 km per day. Also, on the closest approaches to Moscow, during the early and early approach from it, the German Wehrmacht first experienced significant defeats and confusion due to the great costs of the advance.

    These days, the military left wing of the Western Front achieved greater successes than those that were active in the past and as they approached the capital. Three main furnishings zoomed into the distance.

    According to Pershe, not far away is the meeting of Colonel General G. Guderian

    In a different way, near the victorious command of the Western front of the camp. The head strike was ordered according to the weakest position in the enemy’s operational position - on the flank and at the core of the main grouping.

    In third, Nastannya from vysuvannyam vіysk from glybini, without the middle from the area of ​​​​zoseredzhenya, ensured the raptness of the blow.

    Due to the favorable situation, the unification of the 10th Army under the command of General F.I. Golikov knocked out the enemy from low-lying settlements and by the end of the 7th breast they had penetrated 30 km away from the depths of the enemy’s advance. At that moment, the Radian command faced the prospect of not only dismembering, but also sending part of the forces of Guderian’s tank army to Tuli. To prevent despair, General G. Guderian hastened to give the army an order to enter the cordon of the Shat and Don river.

    By this time, the enemy had gained strength in other plots. Until the 9th century, the 112th Infantry Division, together with the units that had left, took up defense along the entrance to the birch river. Pavlova. Shat, Shatsky reservoir and people. Don. Hiding on these natural obstacles, the Germans suppressed the 10th Army, units of which at that time reached depths of up to 60 km. However, all attempts to connect this position turned out to be disappointing.

    8th Breast General of the Army G.K. Zhukov was punished: with the strong forces of Belov’s army group and the 50th army, they will fight back and defeat the German grouping that was acting in the past Tuly, and the 10th army will launch an attack on Plavsk. An analysis of the progress of the implementation of this order shows that the Radian troops were not able to cross the enemy’s exit route from Mishka to Tuli. The high rate of advance from the one-hour natural crossings and obstructions on the roads of the offensive of the Radian army allowed the divisions of G. Guderian not only to remain isolated in that area, but also to suppress the 10th Army.

    It was time for the left wing of the Western Front to continue to develop. On Svitanka 14, Belova’s group called Vuzlova station, and the next day – Dedilova. On the same day, the troops of the 10th Army took Bogoroditsk by storm, continuing the attack near the Plavsk river. Alas, as early as the 14th century, another army, the 49th, joined the counterattack and was defeated by General I.G. Zakharkin, from the command, defeat the Aleksin grouping of the enemy. For example, the 16th chest reached out from 5 to 15 km, covering the right-handed army of the 50th Army.

    The 2nd German Army under the command of General R. Schmidt was on the right wing of the Pivdenno-Zakhidny Front, advancing right up to the 6th century, and there was no shortage of prepared defenses.

    6 Breasts directly adjacent to the blow, the 13th Army of General A.M. Gorodnyansky. On the first day of the war, they did not achieve any significant territorial success, but they gained the respect of the enemy by directing the head attack to the front, prompting the German command to withdraw part of the forces to counter the 13- ї armies. This gave the strength of the strike group to the front, which General Kostenko believes, led the 7th century to attack the weakened German grouping. That same day, the 13th Army began fighting directly for Yelets. The enemy repaired the baked foundation, but on the night before 9, the breast, under the threat of exacerbation, began to leave the place. Elets buv zvilneniy. The next day, the army was already advancing at full speed. If the Germans try to imitate their success, they will have no small success. 10th breast of Lieutenant General O.M. Gorodnyanskogo penetrated from 6 to 16 km, and the enemy quickly advanced at the approaching and approaching directions.

    To successfully sharpen the enemy units that were about to enter the field, two main tasks had to be addressed in advance:

    increase the pace of the attack; change the direct attacks of the 13th Army and Kostenko’s group, aiming them at Verkhovya.

    I'm happy with the secret situation. The latest military installations were carried out under the leadership of generals A.M. Gorodnyansky and F.Ya. The bone near the 12th chest was half sharpened to the Eletsk grouping of the gate. This sharpening ended at the end of the 16th, when the left flank formations of the 3rd Army reached the villages. Judgments.

    The enemy units, trying to break through to the entry point, moved quickly to counterattack. With their active actions, the stinks often caused damage to the military camp of F.Ya. Kostenko. So, let us confirm that parts of the enemy’s 34th Army Corps were able to communicate with the 5th Cavalry Corps of General V.D. Kryuchenkin and interrupt his fasting. Against the enemy front, the 34th Army Corps was completely defeated, as the surplus was thrown in for the approach. The morale of the German soldiers had dropped so much that the commander of the 2nd Army, General Schmidt, would urge to reveal individuals who had dared to carry out different discussions, and for the betterment of others, it would be safe to shoot them down.

    At that very hour of the military marshal S.K. Tymoshenko, who had lost the serious defeat of the 2nd Army, pushed forward to approach 80-100 km. In addition, they took over part of the forces of the 2nd Tank Army, which was relieved by the defeat of the troops of the left wing of the Western Front.

    The counter-offensive near Moscow is already in its eighth day, and there has been no news about it. Thoughts about the threatening disaster that hung over the capital weighed heavily on the people, and the uncertainty only increased their anxiety for the share of their beloved place. On the 13th day of the month, a message from the Radinformburo was broadcast on the radio:

    “One last time. The failure of the German plan is the main reason for Moscow’s occupancy.” The plans of the enemy were soon revealed, and another general attack on Moscow was about to take place.

    Until that hour, the Radyansky troops defeated the enemy’s tank strike groups and, having penetrated the exit line to the outside of the capital at 60 km, and at daytime - 120 km, they put an end to Moscow’s insecurity. In other words, the armies of the three fronts reached the closest to the frontier and reached the head of the counterattack:

    On the 16th, the Radyansky command gave orders to continue re-investigating the enemy. The frontiers were determined for the military, which they would reach, as well as the terms of their victory and the ways of their development. Which increased the width of the offensive front and the military warehouse for the right wing of Kalininsky, the center of the Western and right wing of the Pivdenno-Zakhidny front.

    Headquarters continuously coordinated the forces of the fronts. Having analyzed the instructions, she established that the Pivdenno-Zahidny front would pass at the offensive on the 18th, and would clearly stand 100 km from the adjacent wing of the Western front. Therefore, Headquarters assigned Marshal S.K. Tymoshenko to speed up the term of the rise of the right flank of the Pivdenno-Zahidnogo Front Vidpovidno until the removal of S.K. Tymoshenko ordered the 61st Army with part of its forces to go on the offensive on the 16th, two days earlier. For this purpose a group was formed with General K.I. Novik.

    Radyansky fighting dogs in winter capes.

    I appreciate the pace at which the armies of the right wing of the Western Front had to advance. The headquarters placed the yogo within 10-15 km on the doba, and G.K. Zhukov increased up to 20-25 km per harvest, then maybe twice as much, although it was practically impossible to achieve such a pace for these minds.

    At the same time, the supreme command of the Wehrmacht made a decision. 16th Breast Hitler ordered the troops of the Army Group “Center” to train to the utmost strength in order to gain time to reduce transport receipts and increase reserves. Having decided to abandon the front at any cost, Hitler 16 years ago was aware of the need to replace both Brauchitsch and the Boks, who, in his opinion, would not be able to deal with the crisis situation. An analysis of these decisions shows that the Wehrmacht High Command was fully aware of the entire level of insecurity that hung over Army Group Center. Just 12 days after the beginning of the counter-offensive of the Radian troops near Moscow, it turned out that their actions did not lead to tactical breakthroughs of local significance, but to a breakthrough of a strategic scale. The result was a threat to the defeat of the largest strategic grouping of the Wehrmacht. The severity of the formation was enhanced by the fact that their union could have taken an exit only by abandoning the importance of re-armor, and without this the German troops would have been unable to lose these positions, as and the stench was coming out.

    However, objectively assessing the ability of the support of Army Group “Center”, it can be seen that the strength of the German troops was greatly reduced along the shortened front lines. Until now, it appears that the strength of the 3rd and 4th Panzer Groups has increased by 1.4 times, and the strength of the Guderian Army Group - by 1.8 times. Why is it that the military group of the Army “Center” is not really able to conduct a light defense and build up the active support of the Red Army. Therefore, Hitler’s ability to maintain a fanatical reliance on his positions until the end of the war appears to be completely limited, as far as the situation that has developed and the combat potential of the German troops are concerned. Having hired Brauchitsch as the commander-in-chief of the ground forces, Hitler himself decided to focus on the ground forces and especially take care of all approaches to the same front.

    Another stage of the counterattack of the Red Army near Moscow

    All these important ideas that arose in the middle of the chest really influenced the nature of the fighting. With the influx of suspicious officials, another stage of the counterattack of the Red Army near Moscow began. The troops of the left flank of the Kalinin Front continued the offensive in the same direction.

    The 16th commander of the Kalinin Front, General Konev, gave the order that the 30th and 31st armies should immediately attack Staritsya, and the 22nd and 29th armies would launch head strikes at night. with their narrow flanks. In the course of these actions, it was necessary not only to defeat the majority of the troops of the 9th Army, but also to create the basis for a further attack on the flanks and the main forces of Army Group “Center”.

    To implement the plan of I.S. Koneva from the army of the left wing of the front needs a march to Staritsa. The command of the 30th Army did not dare to create the necessary grouping in a short time.

    The main forces came into play at the age of 19. The present day of the 31st Army was already underway. Until the 20th, the folding turn for the approach did not work, continuing to advance on the previous approach. Until the end of the 20th century, the offensive armies advanced only 12-15 km, and the pace of the advance did not exceed 3-4 km per day.

    Prote, commander of the Kalinin Front, Colonel General I.S. Konev is not interested in the possibility of taking active action on the Torzhok-Rzhev direct line. Having punished the commander, General I.I. Maslennikov go on the offensive with two divisions, continuing to pull up the force of six. Having completed the united front, the army strengthened its pressure until the end, interacting with the left flank divisions of the 22nd Army of General V.I. Vostrukhova, made her way to the depths of the Vorozh defense at 15-20 km.

    Until this hour, the troops of the 29th and 31st armies had suffered serious defeats against the enemy and reached the approach to Staritsa. This place, built on the steep banks of the Volga, the Germans made a strong support for the vuzol, but were unable to touch it. Under the onslaught of the army of General V.I. Shvetsov's units of the 6th Army Corps were quickly deprived of Staritsa. Trying to correct the enemy's situation did not bring success. Radyansky divisions were destroyed on Rzhev. The successful advance of the army's right wing and the center of the Kalinin front placed the enemy at the ready camp. Even the continuation of the fight for the march towards Rzhev created the threat of a breakthrough in the defense in the center of the 9th Army. However, in such a situation, Hitler did not allow the withdrawal of the entire army.

    Until the 7th day of the meeting, the 22nd and 39th armies destroyed the enemy’s strongholds and reached the river line. Volga, climbing towards Rzhev, opening its routes for the attack on Vyazma. Until this hour, the victorious successes of the 39th Army developed an offensive in the direction of Rzhev and hung over the Rzhev groupings of the enemy with the immediate unification of the 29th Army, and then the 31st Army. As long as the 30th Army is in trouble, its support, as before, was minimal. Thus, at another stage of the counter-offensive of the military Kalinin Front, the 9th German Army suffered a major blow, having decided to advance 50-60 km on the Torzhok-Rzhev direct line, and on Kalinin-Rzhev for anyone - 90-100 km. On the right wing, the stinks came out to the border of the Volga, at the center - they buried Rzhev Pivkilets. Before the main forces of the Army Group “Center”, the front continued to occupy the hustling camp. Everything changed my mind about the development of the attack at the bank of Vyazmi. It is expected that the Kalinin Front will begin a new operation before regrouping the troops.

    The troops of the right flank of the Western Front from the wound of the 17th breast continued to re-investigate the enemy, looming to enter the line of Zubtsov, Gzhatsk, then 112-120 km from the line reached by them at that time. The German command, covering the approach with strong rearguards, brought the lead forces of tank groups to an intermediate position prepared along the banks of the Lama and Ruza rivers; fences were widely erected, especially in populated areas and at road junctions. In the rich villages at the front, the enemy was approaching without mercy, throwing armor, equipment and vehicles.

    Military of the 1st Shock Army of General V.I. Kuznetsova 18 breasts took the great stronghold of Teryaev Sloboda in battle and reached the border of the people. Great Sister, having stuck out more than 20 km ahead. The 20th Army, retracing the enemy with parts of the rukhomoy group of Major General F.T. Remizova, stuck out at the approaching direction for about 20 km and by the end of the 18th the breast reached the line at 18 km on the way out of Volokolamsk. The 19th Army of the 20th Army began fighting for Volokolamsk. Tsomu group F.T. Remizov together with the 64th naval rifle brigade of Colonel I.M. Chistyakova attacked the place from midnight and immediately, and the group of Colonel M.Ye. Katukova - from the last call.

    Under the threat of withdrawal, the enemy's 35th Infantry Division, hiding behind rear guards, began to quickly approach the western bank of the river. Lama. On the shoulders of the Germans who were advancing, parts of both crumbling groups and Pacific sailors escaped to Volokolamsk and with decisive actions knocked out the rear of the enemy. Thus, the enemy lost a great stronghold in his defense system between Lamy.

    At that time, the 16th Army of General K.K. Rokosovsky came to the river. Ruse, however, having gnawed at the enemy’s inveterate defenses, could not get through. 5th Army of General L.A. Govorova, with a length of 19 and 20 chests, on his right flank and in the center, fought a fierce battle with enemy units that had crossed the rivers Ruza and Moscow. With well-organized artillery, mortar and machine gun fire, the Germans established a strong foothold on this natural frontier and on the approaches to Ruz. All attempts of parts of the army to break through its defenses and liberate the place ended in failure. Right there on the approaches to Ruzi Bilya village. Palashkino 19 chest was hit by the commander of the 2nd Guards Cavalry Corps, General L.M. Dovator.

    However, at another stage of the counterattack, the armies of the right wing of the Western Front advanced another 40 km, which was approximately 1.5 times less than at the first stage. The reason is that the offensive capabilities of the armies were exhausted, the rapt factor having been exhausted, the enemy began to organize a strong defense on the intermediate line. Attempts to platinum immediately turned out to be unsuccessful.

    At that hour, when the troops of the right wing of the Western Front began preparing for an operation to break through the enemy’s defense, the main efforts flared up on its left wing. At the end of the offensive under Tula, the command of the front focused on military offensive actions in the frontal and approaching directions. On the evening of the 16th, General Zhukov ordered the 10th, 49th, 50th armies and Belov’s groups to continuously re-investigate the enemy and liberate Kaluga.

    By implementing the objectives, the troops of the left wing of the Western Front increased the pressure on the enemy. Under their onslaught, the 2nd tank army of the enemy headed towards Orel with its head forces, and with its left flank - towards the approach. Between these groupings there was a gap, the width of which reached 30 km. G.K. Zhukov, having created a major explosion at the front of the enemy for the Swedish revolt of Kaluga with a blow from today, punished the commander of the 50th Army, General I.V. Boldin create a loose group. At the same time, Belova’s group was forced to quickly enter the Oka River, force them forward from Belova, then turn their heads to make a frontal approach, 28th Breast to attack Yukhnov and thus cut off the enemy the route to the exit from Kaluga and Maloyaroslavets. The 10th Army rejected the order to occupy Belyov and Sukhinichi. Zhukov intends to prevent the Germans from gaining a foothold on intermediate borders and losing sight of the most important road junctions.

    Created at the 50th Army for the Kaluga army group at the rifle depot, tank and cavalry division, as well as the Tula labor regiment and tank battalion under the command of General V.S. Popova in the night before the 18th century rose from her position. Bypassing populated areas and not getting lost in the battle with the enemy, by the end of the 20th the day reached Kaluga.

    Vranci 21 chest part of the dry-haired group V.S. Popov sank through the Oka, escaped to Kaluga and started street battles with the garrison of the place. The German command decided to take Kaluga with them. As a result of the active actions of the dominant forces of the enemy, Popov’s group was immediately dismembered. They had the opportunity to fight in bitter battles, which became protracted and lasted until the end.

    The 43rd Army Corps reached Kaluga until the gap between the adjacent flanks of the 4th Field and 2nd Tank Armies grew even greater. At this breach, Belova’s group was directed, as the 24th group reached the Oka on the afternoon from Likhvin (nin - Chekalin). The advance of the group and the withdrawal of its units to the Oka, having pleasantly appeared in the actions of the left-flank united 50th Army, left the threat of a strike from today. The Swedish army destroyed Likhvin and the 26th century left the place. Now the left-flank divisions were losing the ability to capture Kaluga from the previous entry. Until this moment, the right-flank united armies fought against the enemy on the way out of Kaluga, refusing to hunt them down from the daylight. 30 years after ten days of intense fighting, Popov’s group together with parts of the 290th and 258th rifle divisions, which arrived, cleared the ancient Russian place of Kaluga from occupiers.

    The rest resisted the counter-attack of the army, which was operating in the center of the Zahidny front. It is clear that the minds for whom were the most unpleasant compared to those that were on the flanks of the Western Front. The German armies retreated behind the preparations for the defensive line. The war lasted for two months and until the middle of the chest, we completely possessed strongholds with trenches of a uniform profile, dugouts and reception passages. There were anti-tank and anti-anti-killing barriers, a mine-vibukhov chief rank, and also a well-organized fire system with a sufficient supply of shells, mines, and cartridges. The majority of the 4th Field Army, which defended this field, did not conduct active combat operations for a month, and thus suffered the least losses. Moreover, the operational strength of the army, which amounted to 5.4 km per division, became the largest army group “Center”.

    Vranets 18th breast after a year of artillery preparation, the military center of the Western Front went on the offensive. Active units of the 33rd Army of General M.G. Efremova decided to cross to the back bank of the river. They were on the outskirts of Naro-Fominsk, but they were thrown back by an enemy counterattack. The next day, the 110th Infantry Division, with part of its forces, crossed to the back bank of the Belya Selo River. Yelagino (3 km this afternoon from Naro-Fominska) and fighting started there. 20 breast General M.G. Efremov assigned to the 201st rifle division. However, this maneuver did not change the situation. Protracted battles took place on long lines. Only the 222nd Infantry Division of the 21st brigade managed to establish a small bridgehead at the entrance to the birch of Nari Belya in the village of Tashirovo.

    The situation began to change in the Western Front, which was friendly to the army. On the right, as a result of the advance of the left wing of this front and the entry of German troops to Kaluga, the enemy’s forces created a gap between the 13th and 43rd army corps. At this breach, the left flank of the 49th Army of General I.G. Zakharkina. For example, 22 chests of stench, penetrating 52 km, threatened to bury the 4th German Army from day one.

    The departure of the German troops, which began after serving Army General G.K. Zhukov was driven in order to punish General Yefremov for putting pressure on the enemy. The battles for Naro-Fominsk flared up with renewed vigor. I thoroughly baked against the enemy part of the 222nd Infantry Division of Colonel F.A. Bobrov dug up the place in the evening, and the 1st Guards Motorized Rifle Division of Colonel S.I. Iovleva - from the last call. The 26th day of Naro-Fominsk was taken. That same day, Zhukov punished him about re-investigating the enemy in Mozheisk and Maloyaroslavets directly. The 28th breast was from Balabanovo, and the 2nd from Maloyaroslavets.

    Angrily leaning, the Germans did not allow the units of the right flank and the center of the 33rd Army to penetrate towards the approach to Naro-Fominsk. For three days and three nights, five rifle divisions of the 33rd and 43rd armies fought street battles for the brutality, first they were able to clear the Borovsk gate, which was closed from the day before the approach to Mi nskoj motorway. It was already 4 days, and in the next few days the combined forces of these same armies penetrated another 10-25 km, but through the heavy support and heavy counterattacks of the units of the 20th and reached them to assist them 7th and 9th The enemy's army corps began to collapse. Until 7 September 1942 The counterattack of the Red Army was completed.

    Victory near Moscow was achieved by the courage and resilience of the Russian soldier

    Ozhe, born in 1941. The most important situation arose near Moscow: first, the Second World War, the Red Army was defeated, and then it suffered a great defeat, which had previously respected itself with the insurmountable German army and, having thrown them 100-250 km away from Moscow, the threat was lifted. Moskovsky industrial district. This success was immeasurable and extremely important, and its significance came far beyond the days of military affairs.

    Even before Moscow, the Germans began to pursue a strategic initiative and experienced the bitterness of defeat, but, without a doubt, they lost their “Bliskavich war” against the Radyansky Union. The collapse of the Blitzkrieg strategy left the Third Reich facing the prospect of a terrible war. Such a war made the rulers eager to implement the Barbarossa plan, a new strategic plan for the coming years and additional research into great material resources. Before the protracted war, Germany was ready. To do this, it is necessary to radically rethink the economy of the region, its domestic and foreign policy, not to mention strategy.

    The defeat near Moscow was determined by other criteria.

    “The myth about the inability of the German army has been broken,” wrote Halder. - As the summer approaches, the German army will gain new victories over Russia, but the myth about its inability will no longer be renewed. The 6th anniversary of 1941 was marked by a turning point, and one of the fatal moments in the short history of the Third Reich. Hitler’s strength and power reached their apogee, and from that moment on the stink started to subside...”

    Of particular significance to the success of the Army of Red Army is the fact that it achieved achievements in a situation where the current balance of forces and abilities was inconceivable. However, the Radyansky command was obliged to compensate a little for the delay in choosing the moment of going on a counter-offensive, if the enemy had hesitated and had not yet managed to move to the defensive and establish defensive positions, as well as for the failure of the counter-offensive. The enemy, without preparations for the avalanche of unprepared blows, having fallen into the wrong minds, had to hastily change plans and join the Red Army. Raptism itself became one of the most important minds of the successful counter-offensive to the first stage. In addition, success was achieved thanks to the contribution of additional forces. To develop the counter-offensive, 2 foreign armies, 26 rifle and 8 cavalry divisions, 10 rifle brigades, 12 additional infantry battalions and approximately 180 thousand were recruited. osіb marching replenishment.

    All these factors, as well as the losses incurred by the enemy, especially in military technology, and the presence of operational reserves in some countries, meant a change in the balance of forces and capabilities of the parties. As a result, until the end of the counterattack, it was in favor of artillery, and in terms of people and tanks, the speed of the approaching fronts was 1.1 and 1.4 times higher.

    The main driver of the achieved victory over the dead during the counterattack near Moscow was the high morale of the Radyan warriors. The famous English military theorist and historian B. Liddel Hart affirmed that this victory was achieved:

    “In front of us, to the courage and resilience of the Russian soldier, who has endured hardships and constant battles for the minds that would have ended the invading army.”

    This is absolutely correct.

    On the day of infancy, 1941. People all over the world learned that the Red Army could only advance, but would rather resist the Wehrmacht. Undoubtedly the same:

    success near Moscow will contribute to the further progress of both the Great Patriotic War and all other world wars in general.

    Another very important event on a planetary scale has emerged: 1 September 1942. Representatives of 26 powers signed the Declaration of the United Nations. All of them wanted to use their economical and military resources to fight against Germany, Italy, Japan and the countries that had come before them, and in addition, to work one after another and not establish a separate truce for the world and the fascist bloc powers. This became a guarantee of the creation of a friendly atmosphere for the systematic increase in the military power of the anti-Hitler coalition.

    The battle of Moscow is symbolized by mass heroism and self-sacrifice of the people of the Radians. For the valor and courage shown in battles, 40 units and units were awarded the title of guards, 36 thousand. soldiers were awarded orders and medals, 187 were awarded the title of Hero of the Radyansky Union and Hero of the Russian Federation.

    After the Germans were thrown out of Moscow, the fighting began again.
    The whole earth is covered with barbed darts, cartridges, and cartridges.

    239th Chervonoprapornaya Rifle Division: From 01 to 01/05/1942, they fought unsuccessful battles for Sukhinichi, then the divisions were ordered to enter the Meshchovska area, looming in respect to attack Serpeis to (two companies were occupied for the blockade of Sukhinich). The fate of the captured Meshchovsk was not necessary; the division collapsed on Serpeysk. On the other half of the day, 01/07/1942, Serpeysk took over and continued the attack in the direction of the day. On 01/12/1942, the fire was fought near the areas of Kirsanovo, Pyatnytsia, Shershnev, Chervoniy Pagorb, developing a blow directly at the Chiplyaevo station (8 kilometers on the daytime approach from Bakhmutov). On January 16, 1942 she was assigned to the commander of the 1st Guards Cavalry Corps.

    The new directive called for the 10th Army to enter the area of ​​Kozelsk with its head forces until the end of the 27th, and with crumbling forward corrals to bury the Great Zaliznych University and the town of Sukhinichi until then, and also to conduct deep reconnaissance on the slopes first call at the direct station Baryatinska, on entry to Cape Kirov and on the afternoon of the day at Cape Lyudinovo.
    The 239th and 324th rifle divisions were already behind Oka and approached Kozelsk. The 323rd rifle division was ahead of them at the crossing; the 322nd and 328th divisions entered the battle to reach the left bank of the river in the Belyov area. 330 riflemen left the stick, 325 and 326 went behind the center of the army in another echelon. 31 infantry, following the order of the front commander, took up defensive positions: 325th in the area of ​​Kozelsk, 326th in the area of ​​Khutryane, Berezivka, Zvyagino, and then the 325th Infantry Division was ordered to attack Meshchovsk, Mosalsk, Tob then. Sukhinichiv, the 326th Streltsy took off the task of attacking the Baryatinskaya crossroads of Sukhinich - Chiplyaev.
    At the stations of Matchino, Probodzhennya and Tsekh, the 330th and 326th divisions buried large warehouses of ammunition from Radyansky production. At 9am there were close to 36 thousand. shells and min. Our camp immediately became easier. The 761st and 486th Army Artillery Regiments began to arrive from these warehouses and arrived on the 25th of today.
    The commander of the 1099th regiment, Major F.D. Stepanov, planned to bypass Baryatinskaya with one battalion from daylight, and with two battalions to attack from daylight, through Chervony Hill. The first attempt to occupy Baryatinskaya was not successful. The enemy was already making inveterate operations in Chervony Pagorba. It was 10 today. The fight dragged on until it was dark. The hut has risen. The battalion, which is coming from the day, has lost its way. The battalion commander, Senior Lieutenant Romankevich, was promoted to the police as soon as he was ready for the day's approach from Baryatinskaya. The contact with the regiment commander was wasted. Prote battalion commander did not ruin himself. Following their decisions, the battalion cut the track to Studenovo and Zaliznytsia on its way to the Zanozna station. Shvidko dug snow trenches. Four fighters, sent with reports from the battalion to the regiment, as it was explained later, were killed by the Hitlerites.
    Without any information about this battalion, the commander of the division for the operation on Baryatinskaya Viv from the day of the 1097th regiment. With the attack of two regiments, the station and village of Baryatinska was liberated in France on the 11th.
    The important role played by Romankevich’s battalion. The enemy, with all his convoys, rushed from Baryatinskaya on the approach, and then, in the dark dark night, attacked the fire of 12 koulemets of his battalion. Up to 300 Hitlerites were reduced, a large number of mortars and trucks, as well as a large convoy, were buried.
    A large warehouse of Radian ammunition appeared at the station. The stench was deprived by our troops before the hour of entry. The Hitlerites did not secure the warehouse for their access. There were large reserves of 76, 122, 152 and 85 mm shells, 82 mm shells, hand grenades and screw cartridges. From this warehouse, for many months, troops like our armies and ships arrived (94).
    German warehouses with large reserves of grain and hay were buried right there at the station. All this appeared to be even more necessary for us.
    For example, on the 11th of today, the 326th division occupied Stara Slobida, Perenizhzhya, and Baryatinskaya.
    When the 326th and 330th rifle divisions approached Baryatinskaya and Kirovo, reports were made about the fact that many enemy transport flights and troops were landing at the great airfield today. These reports have been completely confirmed. Throughout this day, the enemy hastily transported military units back and forth. In Germany, the Goering Guard Regiment, the Airborne Regiment, the 19th Airfield Battalion and the 13th Airborne Battalion arrived at the airport to protect it. The remaining two battalions had previously been in France. The burial of captives confirmed the presence in this area of ​​also parts of the 34th division of the 216th infantry division.
    To cover the stations Zanozna and the Fighter, the enemy hung a police battalion. Zanoznya also had formations from graduates of the 216th Infantry Division, with a total strength of two battalions. Nyumu had close to 800 individuals. Wedesheim's anti-aircraft artillery group was located at the airfield. There were batteries of field artillery in its warehouse. In the area of ​​Shemelinka, Zanozna, Shaykivka, Goroditsa, Studenovo, there were strongmen of power before the infantry division.
    The nearest airfield played an even greater role in enemy aviation operations. It was necessary to take him. This task was assigned to the 326th and 330th divisions. The 326th Infantry Division was responsible for the destruction of fire from the dumped airfield. The 330th Infantry Division, with a strike of two regiments, successfully suppressed the conquest. Hanging on their line until the end of the 12th, parts of the division surrounded the airfield immediately, evening, afternoon and often before sunset. On the approaches, the enemy made inveterate operations. During the hour of fighting, the landing from the Yu-52 fighters was completed, and no new military teams arrived.
    For example, on the 15th of today, the airfield may be completely closed. The enemy could only make an early approach near the villages of Prytulok and Degonka.
    Between the 16th and 17th, our regiments again attacked the airfield, but the attack was unsuccessful. They suffered bitterly from the influx of hostile aviation, without any fear of any kind of protection against it. The battles for the airfield were baked. In these battles, the warriors of both divisions showed self-commitment, resilience, kindness, humility and resilience. After the units had been brought into order and regrouped, the 326th Division launched an attack on the airfield again on the 19th. The intense fighting lasted all day. The protesters were unable to take the airfield. Unfazed by the bombardment that our numerous artillery carried out from open positions, the landing and landing of enemy transport and combat aircraft was troubling, although they recognized the small losses of the aircraft. From 12 today to the end of the month, our artillery knocked out 18 great enemy fighters. During the difficult battles for the airfield area, our units were unable to destroy the enemy’s strongholds, leading through the action of their combat aircraft, and suffered great losses. The police of the 330th and 326th rifle divisions lost 250–300 bags each. During the period from 9 to 19 September, the 326th Infantry Division lost 2,562 individuals killed and wounded. The offensive capabilities of both divisions have been exhausted.
    At the same time, there was a threat of entrapment of units of the 330th and 326th rifle divisions from the flanks. What happened, first of all, was due to the enemy going on the offensive from the side of Lyudinovo and Zhizdri in the direction of Sukhinichi with one-hour attempts to support this attack with attacks from the area of ​​Milyatinsky Zavod, Chiplyaevo, Fomino 2nd, Fomino 1st. In connection with this airfield, the regiments of the 330th Infantry Division were captured and turned back to the Kirov area.
