		In this connection, Kirponos proposed that a strong defense be organized, that 300,000 people be evacuated from the border areas and that several strong points be organized there: anti-tank ditches, trenches for the soldiers, etc.
		Moscow answered this proposition with the assertions that this would be a provocation, that no preparatory defensive work should be undertaken at the borders, and that the Germans were not to be given any pretext for the initiation of military action against us.

	The ACG/SZO Discussion Forums - Who was the best General of the War? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Best Example: US Generals LtGen Leslie McNair, LtGen Simon Bolivar Buckner, and Soviet General Mikhail Kiroponos.
		I do like the fact that he was a Luftwaffe general in charge of ground forces...much like I enjoy seeing Marine LtGen Roy Geiger take over 10th Army in Okinawa after Simon Bolivar Buckner got killed at the front.
		Which is why I listed him, McNair, and Kirponos as "Best Example." The Brits used to say that the best thing an officer can do at the front is show the troops how to die.
