In July 1944, while the world watched the Normandy breakout, the Red Army launched Operation Lvov-Sandomierz — a lightning campaign that shattered German Army Group North Ukraine in three weeks. Lucas and Luna explore Marshal Ivan Konev's masterful use of maskirovka, the brutal tank battles at Brody, and the controversial decision to cross the Vistula before securing the flanks. They also discuss the role of the Polish Home Army in Lvov, the shadow of Katyn, and how this offensive set the stage for the Soviet push into Germany. Along the way, they touch on the little-known figure of General Pavel Rybalko and the Red Army's growing operational skill that stunned even the Germans. A look at a campaign that deserves to be remembered alongside Bagration.
