THE PARTISAN WAR

With more than 370,000 partisans operating behind Army Group Center, the Soviets plan to paralyze the German railway network, crippling the German ability to coordinate their front line forces and move up reinforcements. Partisans destroy hundreds of miles of railway lines and bring movement to a halt. In addition, the Soviet air armies launch massive strikes against the Luftwaffe bases in Belorussia.
