About the battle
The Battle of the Oder–Neisse is the German name for the initial (operational) phase of one of the last two strategic offensives conducted by the Red Army in the Campaign in Central Europe (1 January – 9 May 1945) during World War II. Its initial breakthrough phase was fought over four days, from 16 April until 19 April 1945, within the larger context of the Battle of Berlin. The Soviet military planners divide the frontal and pincer phases of the operation, named Berlin Strategic Offensive Operation into:
Stettin–Rostock Offensive Operation (16 April – 5 May 1945) by the 2nd Belorussian Front.
Seelow–Berlin Offensive Operation (16–19 April 1945) by the 1st Belorussian Front.
