Campaign

Lvov–Sandomierz offensive

13 Jul 1944 – 29 Aug 1944 · Lwów and the upper Vistula

Konev's 1st Ukrainian Front attacked on 13 July 1944, encircled German forces at Brody and took Lwów on 27 July, where Polish Home Army units had risen in Operation Tempest. The offensive reached the Vistula and established the Sandomierz bridgehead on its western bank, the springboard for the Vistula–Oder offensive of January 1945.
