Overview:

By March the 38th Army reached the Moravian border (German protectorate) and encountered the old fortification line, once build to protect Czechoslovakia from Germany but never put to the test because of the Treaty of Munich in 1938. Although old, some bunker complexes took up to 30 heavy hits before succumbing. The Germans gave up Ratibor to prevent the Soviets from reaching the Moravian plain. The offensive towards Moravska Ostrava was stopped on 30 March. The Moravian city would fall but in the final days of the war.
