		During the Battle of Stalingrad Rokossovsky, commanding the Don Front, led the northern wing of the Soviet counter-attack that encircled Paulus's Sixth Army and won the decisive victory of the Soviet-German war.
		Rokossovsky was responsible for the suppression of the Polish independence movement and stalinization and sovietization of Poland in general and Polish Army in particular

		Rokossovsky served as a non-comissioned officer in a dragoon regiment until the Russian revolution of 1917, when he joined the Bolshevik Party and soon after the Red Army.
		This exchange apparently saved Rokossovsky's life, but he was sent to a labour camp where he remained until March 1940, when he was released without explanation, apparently due to Stalin's plan to join the WW2, at first revive in sa called "Villa of ecstasy" in the spa of Soczi at the coast of Black sea.

	Ivan Chernyakhovsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Together with General Rokossovsky's 2nd Belorussian Front, which attacked East Prussia from the south and then headed north-westwards towards the Baltic coast around Danzig (Gdansk), the 3rd Belorussian Front, commanded by General Chernyakhovsky was ordered to attack from the east towards Königsberg, even though this meant throwing his armies against heavy German defence works.
		General Rokossovsky's army made contact with Marshal Zhukov's forces at Grudziadz (German: Graudenz) and they wheeled north towards Danzig to cut off East Prussia.
		On 10 February, Rokossovsky reached the coast near Elbing (Elblag) and East Prussia was under siege from the south and east by the 3rd Byelorussian Front.

		When Rokossovsky left after half a decade, although it was a time of de-Sovietization as well as de-Stalinization, it may be taken for granted that he left the Polish military safe for Soviet interests.
		And it was Rokossovsky’s Army Group which sat for five weeks on the eastern bank of the Vistula while the home army, containing yet more of the bravest of the Polish patriots, bled to death, waiting vainly for support from the Red Army.
		Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky was a Russian of Polish descent.

		It follows from Konstantin Rokossovsky’s memoirs “The Duty of a Soldier” that the future Soviet marshal was born into the family of a railroad engineer in the town Velikiye Luki, in the north west of Russia, on December 21st 1896.
		Curiously, once, in the course of the operation to encircle Paulus’ Army, Rokossovsky was in a tank that shot ahead of the rest of the attacking force.
		When Rokossovsky was in command of a cavalry corps in the Leningrad military district in August 1937, he was informed on, and the information was absolutely wild.

		Rokossovsky and Voronov appealed to Paulus to surrender on 8 January, which seemed logical for both armies, given the Germans’ complete lack of strength and supplies.
		The Soviet plan was to let the Germans wear themselves out, then counter-attack with their 75 divisions, 3500 tanks and 3000 new aircraft all under the brilliant Marshal Zhukov.
		The northern sector was defended by General Rokossovsky, the south was defended by General Nikolai Voronezh, and General Ivan Koniev was in the rear reserve with 1500 tanks.

		First, the redeployment of the “Stalingrad” armies by rail and road through Livny to the front went slowly, delaying the arrival of 21st Army, which was essential for the attack on Orel to succeed.
		Subsequently, German resistance stiffened on the Fatezh-Orel axis, halting Rokossovsky’s offensive, and redeployed German forces struck his overexposed forces in the Novgorod Severskii-Lgov sector.

		Russian units had advanced to the eastern bank of the Vistula River and were within supporting distance of the Warsaw fighters, but once Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky, commander of the First Belarussian Front, declined to intervene, the Germans were freed not only to suppress the uprising but also to carry out appalling reprisals.
