Orsha offensives (1943)
The Orsha offensives were a series of battles, fought between the Red Army and the ''Wehrmacht'' during the winter of 1943. It belongs to the so-called "forgotten battles" due to low regard in Soviet post-war history. The battles are remarkable for the high casualty count that German forces claimed against the Red Army. Orsha was a main traffic junction with the north-south road from Leningrad to Kiev and the east-west road from Minsk to Moscow. After the failure of Operation Typhoon in the winter of 1941, Army Group Centre had spent the most part on the defensive in the central sector of the front. The time afforded to them in 1942, a distinct period of inactivity, allowed the ''Wehrmacht'' to build formidable defensive positions which was in sharp contrast to Army Group South, which was at the start of non-stop retreats in their collapsing sector.
When the Red Army planned the strategic operations for the conquest of Belarus, they did so as a joint effort with other strategic Army Groups, known as Army Fronts. If the Red Army could not defeat Army Group Centre and eject it from Belarus, it could prevent German reserves being used in Ukraine, by maintaining pressure on the German Front around Orsha. In tactical terms, the German Army prevented the Soviets breaking into their lines and won a tactical victory.
However, the collapse of Army Group South and the re-taking of industrial and economically important regions in Ukraine recovered vital resources for the Soviet Union and put Soviet forces within striking range of Germany's Allies in Eastern Europe.
==Prelude==
After their defeat in the Battle of Smolensk, the ''Wehrmacht'' retreated on a broad front to the Panther-Stellung line. The German 4. ''Armee'' (Heinrici)—part of Army Group Centre—took defensive positions near Orsa. To the north. the 3. ''Panzer-Armee'' (Reinhardt) defended the area around Vitebsk, and to the south the 9. ''Armee'' (Model) held the area east of Bobrujsk. The Soviet ''Stavka'' saw the conquest of Ukraine as their primary goal, so the Lower Dnieper Offensive had priority. Offensives on the rest of the front were conducted, to hinder the ''Wehrmacht'' sending reinforcements.
