My miniature version of the opening of Operation Bagration - the huge assault on German Army Group Center by the Russian Army commencing on June 22, 1944. The Germans lost nearly twice as many soldiers in this battle than they did at Stalingrad. Many thanks to Keys of the Moon for the use of two of their pieces of music - "Storm" and "Decisive Battle."
