"The Battle of the Dnieper was a military campaign that took place in 1943 in Ukraine on the Eastern Front of World War II. One of the largest operations of the war, it involved almost 4,000,000 troops at a time stretched on a 1,400 kilometres (870 mi) front.

Over four months, the eastern bank of the Dnieper was recovered from German forces by five of the Red Army´s fronts, which conducted several assault river crossings to establish several lodgements on the western bank. Kiev was later liberated in the Battle of Kiev.

The 2,438 Red Army soldiers awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union were the highest number ever awarded the honour.[citation needed]" - (en.wikipedia.org 07.09.2021)
