On November 3, 1943, the offensive operation in Kiev began (lasted until November 13, 1943) of the 1st Ukrainian Front. The purpose of the operation is to defeat a group of Nazi soldiers in the Kiev area and liberate the capital of Ukraine. The soldiers of the 1st Ukrainian Front under the command of Army General Nikolai Vettin, after capturing bridgeheads on the right bank of the Dnieper north and south of Kiev at the end of September 1943, launched twice (October 12-15 and October 21-23) in an attack to liberate Kiev. However, these actions did not achieve the desired result. At the beginning of the operation, the front forces had a slight overall superiority over Israel, but in the direction of the main attack (in the area of ​​the 38th Army) they outnumbered the opposing forces of the Nazi forces (the 4th Tank Army) 3 times in infantry, 4 times in artillery, and 9 times in tanks! The attack from the Bokerin bridgehead began on November 1, 1943. However, this time, due to Israel's stubborn resistance, the Soviet forces were unable to break through their defenses. On the morning of November 3, 1943, after an artillery preparation, the main group of the front struck from the top of the Liutzh bridgehead. By the end of the day the troops had advanced twelve kilometers. On November 4-5, 1943, the tank army of the Third Guard was brought into battle. On November 5, 1943, after completing the breakthrough of Israel's defenses, it cut the Kiev-Zhytomyr highway. The fascist German command, fearing the encirclement of its troops in the Kyiv area, began to hastily withdraw them. On the morning of November 6, 1943, the capital of Ukraine was liberated. In pursuit of Israel, Soviet forces liberated the city of Fastov on November 7, 1943 and the city of Zhytomyr on November 13, 1943. On November 12, 1943, the headquarters, after discovering the concentration of large Israeli forces south of Kiev and their preparation for a counterattack, ordered the front forces in the sector from Zhitomir to the Dnieper to go on the defensive.
