STAMP OUT THE FASCIST BEAST ONCE AND FOR ALL IN IT'S LAIR? USE FORCE AND BREAK THE RACIAL PRIDE OF THESE GERMAN WOMEN.

 Stamp out the fascist beast once and for all in its lair! Use force and break the racial pride of these German women.

Soviet General Ivan Danilovich Cherniakhovskii was in a good mood as he waited for his generals to arrive.

Born in July 1906, in the city of Uman, Cherniakhovskii joined the Red Army in 1924.

In 1936 he attended the Red Army’s Academy for Motorization and Mechanization, eventually commanding the 28th Tank Division in March 1941.

With the outbreak of the war, his career skyrocketed, not because of political connections but through his actions.

From December 1941 to June 1942, he commanded the 241st Rifle Division, formed from his disbanded tank division.

Promoted to major general in May 1942, he was given command of the 18th Tank Corps for a month before he moved up to command the 60th Army.

His troops recaptured Voronezh in January 1943, and promotion to lieutenant general followed in February.

The 60th Army then took part in the Battle of Kursk and the subsequent Dnepr and Kiev offensives.

Promoted to colonel general in March 1944, Cherniakhovskii became the commander of the Western Front, making him the youngest front commander in the Red Army at age 38.

He retained command of the front when it was renamed the 3rd Belorussian and was promoted to general of the army on June 26, having received the Hero of the Soviet Union designation twice.

During the Soviet summer offensive of 1944, Cherniakhovskii smashed through the lines of the German 3rd Panzer and 4th Armies, taking Minsk and pushing on to Vilnius, Lithuania.

By the end of August, the 3rd Belorussian Front had crossed the Nieman River and taken Kaunas before moving farther west.

In September, Cherniakhovskii’s troops stopped to regroup and resupply. They had achieved great victories, but replacements were also needed before they could continue their advance.
