Operation Napoleon was a German offensive conducted on the eastern front on 27th of May 1944. The primary goal was to buy time for German industries to deliver fresh weapons, including tanks, artillery, guns, ammunition and vehicles and therefore have a fairer chance of winning an attrition war. To do so they needed to halt the ground on the Eastern front and push the Russian back to "re-establish" the front line. Wehrmacht was to do as much damage to the Red Army that was possible. The initially planning was carried out by Manstein who had been given total control of the armies of Army Group South, by Hitler. The offensive was very ambitious by terms of objectives needed to be achieved for an ultimate success.

abstract
  • Operation Napoleon was a German offensive conducted on the eastern front on 27th of May 1944. The primary goal was to buy time for German industries to deliver fresh weapons, including tanks, artillery, guns, ammunition and vehicles and therefore have a fairer chance of winning an attrition war. To do so they needed to halt the ground on the Eastern front and push the Russian back to "re-establish" the front line. Wehrmacht was to do as much damage to the Red Army that was possible. The initially planning was carried out by Manstein who had been given total control of the armies of Army Group South, by Hitler. The offensive was very ambitious by terms of objectives needed to be achieved for an ultimate success. Starting well for the Germans, encircling one Soviet army, several divisions, and taking some territory, Wehrmacht almost reached its objectives. However, the lines became thinly outstretched, vulnerable and with no reserves, Wehrmacht could not advance farther. The overwhelming Russian reinforcements shattered the encirclements, counterattacked with heavy strength, and created a large gap in the German lines. The offensive was called off and all Axis troops retreated to the old lines.
