Day of Remembrance and Sorrow
On June 22, a mournful date is celebrated in Belarus - the Day of National Remembrance of the Victims of the Great Patriotic War.
At dawn on June 22, 1941, fascist Germany, treacherously violating the non-aggression pact, began a war against the Soviet Union. The most powerful grouping of German troops was advancing on the territory of Belarus - Army Group Center, consisting of the 4th and 9th field armies, the 2nd and 3rd tank groups, a total of 50 divisions. They were supported by 1600 combat aircraft.
