Default Re: Russian WW2 interesting stats and facts

On Stalin and beginning of Barbarossa. Perhaps Stalin feared his generals were pushing him to war with Germany...

" Judging by Stalinīs schedule, the vozhd was nearly in hiding. In the first half of June, he spent eight days away from his office, and between June 11 and 18 he didnīt grant Timoshenko and Zhukov a single audience. This outraged the generals.Whether they were right or wrong in sounding the alarm, they still needed daily contact."

From " Stalinīs folly"..
