Ed,
what for sort of stories do you always want to tell us:
"If you are talking about a strategic genius whose battlefield exploits affected the war in a strategic manner, then Zhukov would rate higher, as his strategic plans and operations at Moscow, Leningrad, Stalingrad, Kurskand Berlin changed the course of the war at the Strategic level (defeats at Operation Mars do not change the effects of these victories). "
a) Vasilevsky was responsible for Stalingrad ("Uranus")
and
b) I tell it the 4th (!!!) time: My question for the poll is after the S T R A T E G I C genius and not after "battlefield exploits"
and
c) Why are you (and "Panzerführer" Tal Inbar) so fascinated about this Zhukov? He was a rude, primitive und disgusthing character with a very strong inclination towards fashism and bonapartism - that stopped his career after 1945! Vasilevsky was a very calm and moderate charakter and believed till to the end of his life in socialism.
I think, I will have to send an e-mail myself to Prof. Glantz and to ask him, to send a message to this forum, to finish up with all that "STUMPfsinn" about the "great" Zhukov.
Best regards
Christian
BTW: Only the recipients of 2 "Orders of Victory" got votes from our forum up to now, so the award system in the old Soviet Union was not too bad.
