Rokossovsky launched his final offensive on 15 March 1945, with the main thrust toward the coast at Zoppot, between Gdingen and Danzig, undertaken by the 70th and 49th Armies advancing in parallel. Fighting was intense, but by 19 March 1945, Soviet spearheads had reached the heights over Zoppot, while the 4th Panzer Division had been pushed back to the outskirts of Danzig itself. By 22 March, the 70th Army reached the sea, splitting the German defense. Gdingen fell on 26 March 1945, with defenders and many civilians retreating to the headland at Oxh�ft, from where they were evacuated to the Hel Peninsula.

Danzig finally fell on 30 March 1945. The remnants of the German 2nd Army withdrew to the Vistula delta southeast of the city. Evacuations of civilians and military personnel from there and the Hel Peninsula continued until 10 May 1945. The Soviets declared the East Pomeranian offensive complete a week after the fall of Danzig.
