3rd Belorussian Front

3rd Belorussian Front

The 3rd Belorussian Front (alternative spellings are 3rd Byelorussian Front and 3rd Belarusian Front) was a Front (military subdivision) of the Soviet Army during the Second World War. This sense of the term is not identical with the more general usage of military front which indicates a geographic area in wartime, although a Soviet Front may operate within designated boundaries.

The 3rd Belorussian Front was created on April 24, 1944 from forces previously assigned to the Western Front. It was formally disbanded on August 15, 1945.
