A separate section of the exhibition is evidence of an offensive operation of the Great Patriotic War called "Bagration", held from June 23 to August 29, 1944 in Belarus, Poland and the Baltic states. The pictures of the war years of the Heroes of the Soviet Union, who took part in the operation, as well as their combat awards, tell about these events.
