Where Can I Find Info About WW2 Units That Came Through Soviet Ukraine?

by PWDMaximum

I've wanted to find out if it is at all possible to find out which German units passed through my grandmas village during WW2. She told me some soldiers would even come inside to eat. It would be absolutely cool to find out which units it could have been, who led them, where they fought and....well just the history all together, but for all I know it could be impossible to find out.

I found some slight clues but nothing I could say for sure as it seems most units came through Lviv and split, some going to Kyiv others down south (The ones I suspect). Im not sure about that though.

If anybody is an expert and might already know the village is Lypivka in Ivano Frankivsk, Tysmynetsky region.
