I was just reciting my recollection of a few posts about the troops in the Far East offensive being veterans of the Eastern Front. I didn't fact check it, though.

I agree Stalin had troops in the Far East to guard against any Japanese attack, but until 1944 and the success of Operation Bagration he really couldn't afford to fight Japan at the same time as Germany. Even after that he wanted to concentrate on Europe to grab as much of Germany and Central Europe as he could.

Come on, don’t equivocate! Stand up like men! It’s about time we had a good ol’ knock-down/drag-out here.
