Yes,Zhukov have not planned to invade Germany,Stalin had. Spirit of war flyed in the air!In June-July Soviet soldiers were speaking about "little walk to Berlin soon". And Zhukov,as Head of GenStab,should advise to Stalin:"we should build up defence, we should plant mines on enemy's way, we should take away our main forces from the borders" and so on... He did not do Anything!! Zhukov just a miserable butcher, just remember such names as Elnia, Sichevka, Berlin, Counter-attack during 1942 winter, which was a failure, when he told to Stalin, "enemy is weak and falling back on all directions!"Stalin decided to attack on all directions as well. You know about the results.
And yes,on russian history lessons on theme 2ww Zhukov drew as a hero,saver of Russia,but I have my own point of view.Kai-Petri,have you read his book named " memory's and thought's"(vospominania i razmishlenia)? This book is full of lies..
