The first BA-64s produced were deployed to the Don Front in 1942.[2] However, larger quantities were operated by Soviet units on the Voronezh Front and the Bryansk Front from mid to late 1943.[2] BA-64s also took part in the final phases of the Battle of Stalingrad.[2] During prolonged road marches, Soviet crews retrofitted them with standard tread road wheels to save fuel.[2] BA-64Bs were deployed during Soviet offensives in Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Romania, seeing extensive combat during the Second Battle of Kiev and the Battle of Berlin.[2] Eighty-one BA-64Bs were also donated by the Soviets to the Polish People's Army and ten to the 1st Czechoslovak Army Corps.[2] The Czechoslovak BA-64Bs were used in the Prague Offensive of 1945.[2]
