Military unit
The 4th Ukrainian Front (Russian : Четвёртый Украинский фронт ) was the name of two distinct Red Army strategic army groups that fought on the Eastern Front in World War II .
The front was first formed on 20 October 1943, by renaming the Southern Front and was involved in the Lower Dnieper Strategic Offensive Operation , two battles of Kiev and the Crimean Strategic Offensive Operation . After the liberation of Crimea , the front was disbanded in May 1944.
For the second time the 4th Ukrainian Front was created on 4 August 1944, by separating the left wing of the 1st Ukrainian Front . The front took part in the Carpathian Offensive simultaneously with the Battle of the Dukla Pass . Afterwards, the front was involved in the battles in East-, North- and Central Slovakia, as well as in the Moravian-Ostrava Offensive Operation on the Polish-Moravian borders and finally in the Prague Offensive which was the final battle of World War II in Europe.[1]
The actions of the 4th Ukrainian Front were important for the liberation of Czechoslovakia . The 1st Czechoslovak Army Corps also served within the front from November 1944 until May 1945.[1]
On 25 August 1945, the front was disbanded and its elements incorporated into the Carpathian Military District .
