		The Army was intended to be the sole bearer of arms of the nation, and the SA was greatly reduced in importance beginning in June 1934 with a purge of its leadership.
		The Army leadership in Poland became aghast at German plans for occupation of the country, and especially the action of the Security Police, members of the SS that followed the Army and were tasked with securing the rear areas.
		Army commanders and rank and file alike were not fooled by the official pretexts for the murders - usually attributed to "counter espionage work" - and after the conclusion of the campaign, Army generals were so keen on distancing themselves from the killings that they pulled out of their occupation duties before being formally relieved.

	Red Army Studies, Review: Bagration 1944: the Destruction of Army Group Centre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This is a splendid introductory work to the greatest of the great strategic operations with which the Red Army cleared the Wehrmacht out of Russia in the summer of 1944.
		In operation 'Bagration', named after a Russian general from the Napoleonic wars, the Red Army cleared Byelorussia, advanced into eastern Poland, to the gates of Warsaw, and in the process destroyed 17 German divisions completely, shattering numerous others, and inflicting between 300 and 400,000 irrecoverable casualties on the Wehrmacht.
		The high point in terms of illustration are the three 3-D maps of the crucial battles, the breakthrough at Orsha, in which German 78th Sturmdivision and 256th Infanteriedivision were destroyed by 11th Guard Army's assault, the encirclement of Minsk, and finally the German counter-attack on the Magnuszew bridgehead.

		This is a very useful section in which frontages down to battalion level in some cases, strength comparisons along the front, and the German strategic overview are explained, providing the setting for the drama that was to engulf the Army Group in a few days at the end of the month.
		This is a great strength, because it allows the reader to follow the situation as it unfolds (numerous maps are provided to help with this), without being distracted by battle vignettes that hamper the flow.
		This is a great work, dealing in a very cold and analytical way with one of the worst defeats that the Wehrmacht suffered at the hands of a Red Army that had significantly grown in proficiency by the summer of 1944.

	Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
		Zhukov was heavily involved in the Battle of Kursk (July 1943) and directed the Soviet sweep across Ukraine in the winter and spring of 1944.
		Nevertheless, when a majority of the Presidium (called the “anti-party” group) tried to oust Khrushchev, Zhukov provided the airplanes that transported members of the Central Committee from distant regions of the country to Moscow, thus shifting the political balance in Khrushchev's favour (June 1957).
