Red Army

Posted by on August 9, 2017 in General |

Stalin had not yet felt a great need for the councils of qualified military specialists. He was mesmerized by the amount of divisions, not taking into account their actual effectiveness as a combat power. However, in that Hitler was like Stalin. German plan of attack for 1942 differed a great adventurousness. Winter offensive of the Red Army were in full off-road, as a result of which made it impossible to quickly conduct deep operations environment and the defeat of German compounds. The offensive was carried out on the tactics of World War I: infantry and cavalry, supported by artillery, that in the winter, a chilling maneuver off the road to cover their strong points German defenses, leading only to oust the Germans from the settlements (in the military bulletins of those years are referred to in the first place the name of the liberated smaller settlements, rather than the number of German prisoners of war), and that the Red Army suffered heavy losses. While systemically front operations command of Headquarters and the Western Front was not planned, and local military operations to capture the individual settlements (and even cities), a large operational and the more strategic success – a major defeat of the enemy troops – did not bring. Stalin’s disregard for the functions of the General Staff has led to bad proschitannosti (in terms of supply by elongating communications coming in almost winter off-road connections) of the planned offensive. In the end, despite the unparalleled heroism of the advancing Soviet troops in the harshest winter conditions January 1942, thanks to a lack of supply of planned results are not achieved.
