You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Mius-Front''' was a heavily fortified [[Nazi Germany|German Nazi]] [[Defense line|defensive line]] along the [[Mius River]] in the [[Donbas]] region of the [[Soviet Union]] and [[Ukraine]] during [[World War II]].

It was created by the Germans in October 1941, under direction of General [[Paul Ludwig Ewald von Kleist]]. By the summer of 1943, the Mius-Front consisted of three defense lines with a total depth of ((convert|40|-|50|km|mi)).

==Fortifications==
The main line of defense started off at [[Taganrog Bay]] on the coast of the [[Sea of Azov]], to the east of the city [[Taganrog]], then ran along the [[Mius River]], which gave its name to the line.

The depth of the line of fortifications reached up to ((convert|11|km|mi)) in places. The defense area included some 800 Russian and Ukrainian settlements located within the line's long zone.

In order to build the fortification, rails from local mines, and wood taken from local homes and building was used. The Germans used local forced labor to build the positions. <ref>Olejnikov M. J. Saur-Grave. Guide. - Donetsk "Donbas", 1976. - C. 8. - 25,000 copies.</ref>

===Defense===
The line was defended by pillboxes and bunkers, machine gun nests, and mobile artillery positions. The line also contained mine fields, trenches, tank traps, and barbed wire.  The depth of the minefields zone was at least ((convert|200|m|ft)), and backed up by ((convert|20|-|30|/km2||adj=pre|pillboxes or bunkers)).

==Battles==
Soviet troops twice tried to break through this line, first from December 1941 to July 1942, and then from February to August 1943.

By the summer of 1943, the Mius-Front consisted of three defense lines.

The Soviets finally succeeded penetrating the line in August 1943 during the [[Donbas strategic offensive (August 1943)|Donbas Strategic Offensive]], when troops of the [[Southern Front (Soviet Union)|Soviet Southern Front]] broke through it near the village of [[Kuybyshevo, Rostov Oblast|Kuybyshevo]] in [[Rostov Oblast]].
