In the inro it says there is a victory check in '44 but in game there is no notification of a check.
Is there a check and if so what is it ?

IIRC the check is if Soviet player has not reached the Axis high watermark at the end of 1944 the game ends with an Axis victory

Correct.

There is a condition on this "condition". If the Western Allies occupy any hex of Germany on 31 Dec 44, the date of the Victory Check, the game continues further into 1945, even if the Soviets have not achieved the Axis High Water Mark.
