Marshal Zhukov’s West Front Armies are commanded by a virtual “galaxy of stars” rising in the Red Army.

Lelyushenko will end the war in command of 4th Guards Tank Army, taking part in the Berlin offensive.

Konstantin Rokossovski will be a Marshal of the Soviet Union, and will command key fronts at Stalingrad, Kursk, Eastern Ukraine, White Russia, Poland and Germany. As an ethnic Pole, will be the first Commander in Chief of the Post-War Polish army.

Govorov will be a Marshal of the Soviet Union, and command Leningrad Front to break Germany’s 900 day siege, and drive Finland out of the war.

Fillip Gollikov will be Marshal of the Soviet Union, and will hold front command off and on. Zhukov will always hold a grudge against him as Golikov was head of military intelligence before Barbarossa and he told Stalin what he wanted to hear instead of the truth.

Yefremov, Golubev and the Kuznetsovs will hold undistinguished army commands.

Boldin will have “nine lives” as an army commander, but will remain in command until the final months of the war when he will be relieved of command in East Prussia.

Vlasov will be the Red Army’s “black sheep.” In the Moscow counter-offensive, his 20th Army will perform better than most others, including the future Marshals. However, next year he will command 2nd Shock Army near Leningrad, where his army will be encircled and destroyed. Vlasov will become a POW, and then a collaborator with the Nazis. Captured and turned over to the Soviets at the end of the war...well, you can figure out the rest.

Cool map.

I think someone could produce a war strategy browser game based on a map like that.
