The Red Army reached northeastern Rumania in the last days of March
1944. Stalin had high hopes that the 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts would
be able to quickly conquer the Balkans. But those hopes were not to be
fulfilled.
Bulgarian researcher Kamen Nevenkin's From Bessarabia to Belgrade
covers the military history of the bloody fights in southeastern Europe
from March to October 1944. This is a short study, illustrated with
numerous never-before-published wartime photographs.
