Tarnopol was in a largely flat area, although a sprinkling of low hills, small woods, and villages dotted the plain.
Tarnopol was a German garrison town (4,600 men after reinforcements) and its only defences were field fortifications within a 2-3 km radius of the city centre.
The rail line to Tarnopol was the central axis of advance, coinciding with the junction between Fourth and First Panzer Armies.
