So, between October and December, 1928, Bluecher was apparently demoted, transferred, arrested, imprisoned and then put in charge of the War Office.
Boy, that Stalin was a regular CHARACTER, wasn’t he?
The part about the War Office is just a rumor. Bluecher actually died on November 9, 1938, after three weeks of torture under the supervision of NKVD chief Lavrenty Beria.
