There are a few Soviet Generals that I can't remember the names for. Sukhorov maybe?

I thought about mentioning Zhukov, but I don't know if you can even be a great general when your motivation is a murderous tyrant like Stalin.

Good point. That was one of them Zhukov.

Hey, they might have been bastards but it doesn't make them weak fighters.

Arioch7 out.

"but I don't know if you can even be a great general when your motivation is a murderous tyrant like Stalin."

Oh of course you can be, look at Rommel, how many times he is mentioned here. This is a non-partisan thread, who is a great warrior, not who has a great cause.


A wee bit of Tennyson, shall we:

Theirs was not to question why
Theirs was just to do or die

I am sorry, but it is ever thus.
