"It was decided to carry out a massive rail strike on enemy communications on the night of June 19-20, 1944. This was indicated on June 8, 1944. “The last uncertainty about the timing of the start of the offensive,” testifies the former Hitlerite general K. Tipelskirch, “dispersed on June 20 , when partisans undertook major sabotage on the railways Pinsk - Luninets, Borisov - Orsha and Molodechno - Polotsk, that is, just on the communications of the Army Group Center [13, p. 442].

However, the enemy was unable to do anything preemptive.

“As a result of the simultaneous strike of partisans on the railway lines on the night of June 20, 1944, which should be regarded as preparation for the Russian offensive,” stated in the report of the economic leader under the main command of Army Group Center Niederfuer, “serious obstacles arose in railway traffic ... The consequences of a large partisan action on June 20 are enormous: the main railway communications, despite the immediate measures taken and restoration work, were paralyzed ”[14, p. 250-251].

On that night, partisans blew up over 40,000 rails in total. This operation marked the beginning of the third, final stage of the "rail war" in Belarus. The blow was so powerful and coordinated that as a result, many railways were paralyzed until the end of Operation Bagration. Traffic on the lines Orsha-Borisov, Orsha-Mogilev, Molodechno-Polotsk, Lida-Molodechno, Brest-Baranovichi-Minsk, Baranovichi-Luninets, Starushki-Urechye, etc. has completely stopped."
