On July 28, 1944 Soviet troops liberated the city and the Brest Fortress

On July 28, 1944 Soviet troops liberated the city and the Brest Fortress. ⭐️ In 1941, 9,000 Red Army soldiers without food, ammunition and medicine defended the fortress from 20,000 Germans for a whole month. The last defender of the citadel, Major Pyotr Gavrilov, was captured in battle only on July 23. ⭐️ After 3 years, the Red Army swept away the deeply fortified German defenses with trenches, barbed wire and artillery, in 5 days. ⭐️ In order not to lose Brest, the Nazis pulled parts of two armies to it, and Hitler gave the order to “hold the area at any cost.” ⭐️The Germans tried to counterattack several times, but already on July 28 they fled from the captured city. A week later, the occupiers were finally driven out of the territory of Belarus. The glorious Red Army Boost here Please boost the channel Join IL RUSSO Join IL RUSSO Chat Source: ??IL RUSSO??
