So, between October and December, 1928, Bluecher was apparently demoted, transferred, arrested, imprisoned and then put in charge of the War Office.

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.

I found this article interesting too. Blucher (he has almost as many spellings as Kydafi) had already been dead for over a month when this article was published. I think the fact that he does not show up in any rolls, reports or battles should have turned a light on for whoever wrote this article. Typically when the Soviets “disappeared” someone you would just never hear about them again.
