3 BALTICS The contested territories were: Latvia Estonia Lithuania
4 THESIS Soviet occupation of the Baltic States in 1940 led to Hitler's failed decision to invade the USSR, demoralizing German troops and wasting German resources which ultimately led to the collapse of the Third Reich.

9 BALTIC OPERATION Battle of Hanko Finland attempted to regain control of the Hanko Naval Base USSR was cornered by war with both Finland's army and Germany's army Had no choice but to retreat from the base USSR retreated until Germany was able to regain control of the Baltics
10 Soviet Union and NAZI s lost thousands of men NAZI claim over the Baltic States Heavily persecute and punish Jews of the Baltics Led to the formation of ghettos and concentration camps around the region USSR war production continued to develop at an astounding pace Most of equipment especially aircraft was destroyed and replaced by more reliable and durable equipment Exploited new sources of many strategic raw materials To accommodate for war production, production for civilian needs was drastically reduced to a minimum level
11 BALTIC OFFENSIVE Fought between Germany and USSR after the Baltic Operation September 1944 through November 1944 USSR victory Map

15 SOVIET SUB-OFFENSIVES 1. Riga Offensive: Sept 14th - Oct 24, Tallinn Offensive: Sep 17 Sep 26, Moonsund Land Operation: Sep 29 Nov 24, Memel Offensive: Oct 5 Oct Courland Pocket: Oct 10, 1944 May 9, 1945 GERMAN COUNTER-OFFENSIVES 1. Operation Doppelkopf: Aug15 16, Operation Cäsar: Sept 16 - Sept 21, 1944
16 June 1944 USSR used a military strategy invented in the 1920s and 1930s Caused chaos and disruption among enemy Soviets overestimated the amount of German troops they opposed Caused a delay to the offensive Soviets gathered over 1.2 million soldiers Soviets almost had a 10-to-1 numerical advantage with armor and 7- to-1 with aircraft Germans were stunned at the size and strength of the attack Germans underestimated Soviets German officers ignored the warning about Soviet movements Did not recognize the threat until three days into the operation
17 Size of armies: Germans 495 tanks 2,500 artillery pieces 602 aircrafts Soviets 4,000 tanks 34,000 artillery pieces 4,800 aircrafts
18 OPERATION DOPPELKOPF August 15-16, 1944 Counter-attack carried out by Army Group Centre Two goals: 1. To restore a land connection between army groups Center and North 2. To re-open the highway running from Riga to East Prussia The Germans attacked the Red Army on the Gulf of Riga from east and west But then they were stopped by several Soviet rifle divisions and several tank corps Ultimately, the Germans had re-opened a land route from East Prussia to Riga and stabilized the German line, but failed to make a large impact on the Soviet front
19 Sept 14th - Oct 24, 1944 In 1944, Riga was the center of the German military position Riga is the capital of Latvia Following Operation Bagration, Soviet armies attacked towards Riga on the Baltic coast Soviets drove Germans out of the coast of Gulf of Riga Germany reacted quickly and successfully at first Launched counter attack named Operation Doppelkopf
20 OPERATION CÄSAR September 16 through September 21, 1944 A German counter-offensive in response to Soviet's Riga offensive Germans were able to gain back a few miles until the Soviet resistance became too strong German forces went back on the defense
21 TALLINN OPERATION Sep 17, 1944 Sep 26, 1944 Soviets moved to capture Tallinn (capital of Estonia) Overall a very quick event: minimal fighting Germans evacuated Tallinn in a rush USSR regained control of the majority of Estonia
22 COURLAND POCKET Oct 10, 1944 May 9, 1945 As a result of the Riga Offensive, the German army was forced back to the Courland Peninsula The Red Army surrounded the German Army Group North when they reached the Gulf of Riga Germans used the help of their navy to fight the Soviets Germans were not strong enough to keep waging war: 10 German tanks vs. 50 Soviet tanks German troops fled back to Germany and the USSR regained control of Latvia
23 MOONSUND LAND OPERATION Sep 29, 1944 Nov 24, 1944 Blocked German access to the Gulf of Riga Germany evacuated from Estonia German troops go back to the peninsula Troops eventually leave despite Hitler's commands
24 October 5 October Soviet attack after Operation Casar Final stages of Baltic Offensive Soviets opened fire against the Germans Aimed for the coast north of Memel 2 days into the attack, it had reached the south of Memel German army commander said on October 9 th that he would stop the attack on Memel if troops from Riga could be evacuated
25 AFTERMATH Soviets re-claimed the Baltics Isolated the German Army Group North Liberated the Baltic people from the NAZI's horrid command Both armies suffered tremendous damage to their troops ( June- August 1944) Economic and military dislocation was severe To recover from the economic damage suffered by the invasions, the Soviets re-installed Stalinism and returned back to their stages of collectivized farms Soviet war production outpaced German production Soviets were able to weaken and spread out NAZI forces, making the Soviet victory easier Marks the end of the NAZI group as they could not recover from their losses
26 Baltic population suffers drastically General Population Loss in the Baltics Estonian population loss of 25% Lithuanian population loss of 15% Latvia population loss of 30% General Deaths from War or Occupation in the Baltics 180,000 deaths within Latvia 250,000 deaths within Lithuania 90,000 deaths within Estonia
