On August 13, 1943, the Red Army launched a large-scale offensive to liberate the Donbass region from Nazi control; involving over 1 million Soviet soldiers, 1,257 tanks, 21,000 artillery pieces, and 1,400 combat aircraft.

The offensive was a complete success; in just one month, they annihilated over 100,000 Nazis and pushed back German lines approximately 300 kilometers to the Dnieper River, liberating the entire Donbass mining basin occupied by the Nazis and their local collaborators.

This Soviet victory was a strategic blow to Nazi Germany, depriving them of Donbass's vast resources—coal and metallurgical resources vital to the expansion of the Third Reich—and signaling the beginning of the end.
