The course of the Second World War in 1944 clearly pointed to the approaching final defeat of fascism. The world military-political situation in the beginning of the year was determined to a decisive extent by the victories of the USSR. The Soviet armed forces were clearly in control of the strategic initiative, and were rapidly approaching the Western borders of their country.
