Medalklector,

I guess that it was a Stalin's political decision, and Zukhov was a military, but I'm just speculating. I guess it's not easy to explain the decisions of any dictator, specially if the guy is/was also paranoïc.
I think Stalin thought that by hidding the truth he could launch some confusion between the other Allies (that he didn't trust) or at least create some mystery that he could use later, I don't know. Anyway he lied many times on his letters exchanged with Churchil and Rosevelt, including about his plans to arrive to Berlin before all the others, so I think that was already a kind of pre-Cold War thing.

Just my two cents,

Dolf
