In all the history classes i have taken there is rarely any mention of operation Bagration. The combined losses of the Germany and Russia were close to a million, which is more than the Americans lost during the whole war. It was also the battle that crippled the back of the Wehrmacht. so why is it rarely spoken about?

Russia is a big fucking country.

>>1965313
Yes, most definitely. But Bagration was no small skirmish. hell, I could have said that hardly any of the Eastern front is covered besides in Uni.
>>
>>1965310

because western, anglophone historians don't have access to or literally cannot read the russian archival material on the subject, if it even exists

people really need to understand this and stop crying about muh eastern front
>>
>>1965325
Kursk, Stalingrad, Kharkov...
I say again,
Russia's a big fucking country.
>>
>>1965327
People have translated ancient texts for eons. I'm sure Russian would not be the exception. And with the fall of the Soviet Union weren't most of the files open to historians?
>>
>>1965310

I don't know what sort of history lessons you've been taking, but if you even look at casual military history publications, you'll see lots of mention of Bagration.

Here's something I read recently on it, you might find it interesting.

Americans like to pretend they won the WW2 single handedly
>>
Because it wasn't a turning point. The Soviets advanced before and after Bagration. Most people don't know about the battles of Barbarossa either.
>>
>>1965345
But most people know that the Third Reich invaded Russia no?
>>
>>1965362
most people think it was the americans who captured Berlin

>>1965386
I don't believe you....
