The Lviv Offensive was a military operation during World War II, specifically part of the Eastern Front. It took place in July 1944, when the Soviet Union launched an attack to reclaim the city of Lviv in western Ukraine from Nazi Germany. The offensive aimed to push German forces further west and secure strategic territory. The operation involved a series of coordinated assaults by Soviet troops, which included the 1st Ukrainian Front. The offensive was successful, leading to the capture of Lviv and contributing to the overall Soviet advance into Eastern Europe. This marked a significant turning point in the war against Germany.
