The paper presents battles for cities during the Mława–Elbląg offensive operation, conducted by units of the 5th Armoured Guard on January 17–26, according to the orders of Marshal Konstanty Rokossowski, who commanded the 2nd Belarusian Front, and Colonel General Vasily Wolski. The findings, based on the documentation of the Central Archives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and related literature on the subject, present the daily battles for cities led by armoured units and their assigned support. The border territories they occupied, marching routes and combat operations are noted, alongside the problem raised by commanders of insufficient support for tanks with infantry forces. The article describes the occupation or capture of: Mława, Działdowo, Nidzica, Stębark, Ostróda, Iława, Morąg, Zalewo, Małdyty, Pasłęk, Młynary and Tolkmicko as well as the initial battles for Elbląg

his article presents divergent views of the national memories of the Germans and Russians, accumulated since the Second World War in two leading narratives, presenting the mnemonic syndromes of winners and losers. The railway disaster at Zielonka Pasłęcka in January 1945 and its consequences was used as a point of comparison. The author presents, amongst others, the impact of the work of the German researcher Heinz Timmreck, in the form of numerous reports from this incident, mainly highlighting the suffering of the German civilian population fleeing the region endangered by fighting. On the other side, the author presents memoirs of Soviet officers marked with personal ambitions and traces of vengeful attacks preserved in the military documentation. The juxtaposition of the narratives and their comparison provides a new perspective, prompting changes in the mythologised memory of both nations.
