What is the question exactly? You can address some Le Tissier's books:

Re: Soviet Bridgeheads over the Oder
Another I can recommend is "the siege of Kustrin" which is also by Tissier. Really any of Tissier's books are good, seeing as he wrote almost exclusively about Berlin and the lead up to the battle.

http://www.diedeutschewehrmacht.de/
http://www.diedeutschewehrmacht.de/
http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gli ... derung.htm
Some of this is quite specific, but the top two are the best. The latter three contain information on OOBs rather than information on how the battle for the bridgeheads progressed.

Re: Soviet Bridgeheads over the Oder
I guess maybe pictures or books rather on the matter. Even just images would help. I believe that the 1st Belorussian Front was by the Küstrin Bridgehead, but i don't know where 4th Ukrainian nor 3rd Belorussian Fronts were.Art wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 22:16What is the question exactly?

Re: Soviet Bridgeheads over the Oder
Not trying to sound rude, but couldn't you look at a big strategic map and figure that out? Those are pretty big formations to miss, plus 4th Ukrainian Front was pretty far south compared to the battlefield around Berlin, so how relevant are they?The Norwegian Guy wrote: ↑10 Jan 2020, 01:47i don't know where 4th Ukrainian nor 3rd Belorussian Fronts were.

Re: Soviet Bridgeheads over the Oder
thanks for those maps Art.
Re: Soviet Bridgeheads over the Oder
There are also various relevant schemes from "Collection of military history materials" (1952):
