On March 15, the offensive of the 3rd Belarussian Front forces southwest of Kцnigsberg resulted in the Red Army reaching the coast of the Frisches Haff Bay and taking the settlements of Wangitt, Dumpelkrug, Pinnau, Albehnen and Einsam. The town of Heide Waldburg, which is 8 km southwest of Kцnigsberg changed hands several times and was finally captured by the Red Army.
