		Stalin's ultimate decision found heated resistance from his top advisors, including Chief of the Red Army General Staff, General Boris Shaposhnikov, General Aleksandr Vasilevsky and General Georgy Zhukov, all of whom argued for a more defensive posture.
		After the final conclusion to the winter offensive, both STAVKA (the Soviet Armed Forces Command) and Stalin believed that the eventual German offensives would aim for Moscow, with a major offensive to the south as well, mirroring the previous year's Operation Barbarossa and Operation Typhoon.
		Vasilevsky's attempts to gain approval for a general withdrawal were put down by Stalin.

		The Far East commander, Marshal A. Vasilevsky, front commanders and chiefs of staff, army commanders, service commanders, and military historians have contributed their accounts of operations, many in book form.
		In June 1945, Marshal A. Vasilevsky became coordinator of overall operations in the Far East and Trans-Baikal regions.
		Vasilevsky's major qualification for the position was excellent service as representative of the STAVKA (headquarters of the Supreme High Command) and as coordinator of major successful operations in the west.

		On September 19, 1941, Soviet forces had to abandon Kiev after Stalin's persistent refusal to withdraw forces from the Kiev salient, as recorded by Aleksandr Vasilevsky and Georgy Zhukov in their respective memoirs.
		In his memoirs, Vasilevsky pointed out that while immediate Soviet defenses were quite well prepared, these errors in troop placement were largely responsible for the Wehrmacht's initial success.
		Furthermore, many Soviet defenders were seriously lacking in combat experience and some critical equipment (such as anti-tank weapons), while their tanks were obsolete models.

		Stalin's ultimate decision faced heated resistance from his top advisors, including Chief of the Red Army General Staff, General Boris Shaposhnikov, General Aleksandr Vasilevsky and General Georgy Zhukov, all of whom argued for a more defensive posture.
		Therefore, the Red Army's strength was still inferior in everything except tanks, though their quality was inferior to those manufactured by German industries.
		The regrouping of forces in the sector ran into the rasputitsa, which turned much of the soil into mud and postponed several developments and made reinforcing the Southern and Southwestern Front take longer than expected.

	Second World War Books: Review
		Operation Mars (also known as the "Rzhev-Sychevka offensive") was, as Glantz tells us, an operation mounted on a scale as lavish as Operation Uranus (the Soviet offensive that surrounded German 6th Army in Stalingrad) and planned with an equally ambitious goal: to isolate and destroy German 9th Army in the Rzhev salient.
		While Uranus was largely planned and supervised by Colonel General Aleksandr Vasilevsky, Mars was Marshal Georgi Zhukov's pet project.
		In Uranus Vasilevsky initially committed about 700,000 men and 1,400 tanks and, thereafter, another 400,000 and 1,200 tanks in the altered Saturn phase.

		Ironically, this led to a relative non-accountablity of Zhukov's military role in the huge territorial losses during the German 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union thus ensuring his presence "in the wings" for Stalingrad.
		Later, Zhukov claimed that he was forced to sign the document by Stalin, despite the reservations that he raised.
		This document was supposedly written by Aleksandr Vasilevsky, and Zhukov was forced to sign it.

		On September 19, 1941, Soviet forces had to abandon Kiev after Stalin's persistent refusal to withdraw forces from the Kiev salient, as recorded by Aleksandr Vasilevsky and Georgy Zhukov in their respective memoirs.
		However, these troops, while presenting a significant threat to the Wehrmacht based on their numbers alone, were poorly located, with most of the troops deployed in a single line, and had little or no reserves to the rear.
		Reportedly, Stalin's first reaction to the German advance on Moscow was to deny the truth and to search for scapegoats for the Soviet defeats.

		I believe Zhukov, although a fine strategist and commander, to be overrated in the West, and other fine commanders like Konev, Vasilevsky and Vatutin to be underrated and overlooked.
		Marshall Aleksandr Mikhailovich Vasilevsky was the true architect of that operation, although Zhukov played a supporting role.

	TR 3/2004: D. Michaels: Marshal Zhukov: A Career Built on Corpses
		General Aleksandr Vasilevsky was the responsible commander of the Stalingrad forces.
		Operation Mars, also known as the "Rzhev-Sychevka Offensive" and situated about 400 km west of Moscow, was primarily General Zhukov's responsibility; Operation Uranus, the Stalingrad encirclement, was under the command of General Aleksandr Vasilevsky; and, finally, Operation Saturn was intended to be a drive to Rostov.
		Having little regard for Zhukov's intelligence, he assigned the popular marshal to Germany to restore order and put an end to the marauding, looting, raping, drunkenness, and general anarchy that was besmirching the image of the Red Army and the Soviet Union.

		It is a grim story of the very worst that mankind is capable of, with each participant seemingly bent on outdoing every other in degree of brutality.
		The Red Army 'had managed to convince itself that because it had assumed the moral mission to liberate Europe from fascism, it could behave entirely as it liked, both personally and politically.'' Marshal Aleksandr Vasilevsky, who commanded the Third Belarussian Front, was considered one the most intelligent and enlightened of the Red Army generals.
		But when asked what he planned to do to rein in the looting and destruction by his troops even he replied, ''It is now time for our soldiers to issue their own justice.''
