ABSTRACT
In general shape, the Soviet East Pomeranian Operation may be compared with a monstrous fleur-de-lys. The head was directed at Kolberg and Köslin on the Baltic coastlands, while the right-hand petal extended towards the Bight of Danzig. To the left, or west, the flower curved towards the lower reaches of the Oder in the neighbourhood of Stettin, where we take up the sequence of events.
