FYI: Purges of the Soviet Army officer corps began well BEFORE the war, but continued through it.

Thanks, so much for your “enlightening” replies. I’m sure you’re a delight to the less informed of your acquaintance. I obviously learned a lot more from reading other FReepers’ posts on this thread willing to share their knowledge of the era than from your sarcastic, whiny reply.
