English translation:the passing of the (war) front
Explanation:
The passing of the war front during World War II caused notable damage to both the historic center and a large part of the surrounding territory.

...consequently, when the front passed over an area, the partisans, who were often recruited or drafted only days before from factories and collective farms, were left to learn from experience...
http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/USA-EF-Decision/USA-EF-D...

Lithuanian partisans, known as the Forest Brothers, began guerrilla warfare against the Soviet forces as soon as the front passed over them in 1944, and continued an armed struggle until 1953.

the (Eastern) Front passed


Explanation:
Zaproponowane tłumaczenie pasuje, jeśli "front" rozumiemy jako całość działań wojennych na wschodzie.
Jeśli mamy na myśli jedynie linię styczności wojsk (same bitwy bezpośrednie), to lepiej byłoby użyć:

"... untill the battlefront passed Lviv." - patrz drugi link
ewentualnie: "...waited for the battlefront to pass Lviv"

Wydaje mi się, że w tym kontekście raczej chodzi o to drugie znaczenie i ostatnie zdanie będzie najzgrabniejsze.

Example sentence(s):
  • The agents waited untill the Eastern Front passed (through) Lviv.
  • The agents waited for the battlefront to pass Lviv.
