	Red Army Studies, Article 0411030 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Luckily for the Soviets, the tank army organization was sufficient to overcome the resistance of the sparsely deployed Rumanian units on the flanks of Sixth Army and Fourth Panzer Army along the approaches to Stalingrad.
		Additionally, four of the five combined-arms armies in the front each had a tank corps as their mobile group; the fifth was placed in front reserve, for use as a second echelon force during the breakthrough, the first time in the war this was done.
		Soviet strategic reserves and the vastness of Russia bought the time that Stavka needed to reorganize to defeat its opponent, and costly failures and excessive casualties were the price of experience against an opponent that was all too skilled at warfare at the tactical and operational levels.

	GI -- World War II Commemoration
		Army Group South, commanded by Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt, was to attack from southern Poland and Romania, its flank armies converging on Kiev to trap the Soviet armies in the western Ukraine in a great pocket west of the Dnieper (Dnepr) River.
		Army Group Don was fighting for its own existence and that of Army Group A. Early on the morning of Jan. 14, 1943, the Russians moved up the Don for the third time, this time to strike the Hungarian Second Army.
		Army Group E in Greece and Albania, after airlifting its troops from Crete and the other Greek islands, was forced to undertake a long and precarious march through the mountains of western Yugoslavia, which it did not complete until mid-November.

	Korbonski - The Warsaw Uprising
		On August 14, General Bor ordered the Home Army units outside of Warsaw to come to the rescue of the fighting capital; these units were intercepted by the Soviets on their way to Warsaw, disarmed and interned (e.g., detachments of the 3rd, the 9th, the 10th, and the 30th infantry divisions).
		The Soviet "help" did come, but only a few months after the collapse of the uprising, when the Soviet armies began their winter offensive in 1945, advancing from bridgeheads on the Vistula, which the Home Army units from the Radom district had helped to establish.
		The Nazis embarked on extermination of the Polish intelligentsia class, and the Soviets followed suit by arresting and deporting thousands, crowning their actions with the murder of 15,000 Polish army officers--mostly from the reserves--whose mass graves, containing 4,253 bodies, were found in the Katyn Forest.

	[10.0] The Three Blows
		The Red Army was a powerful but blunt instrument, and though matters had greatly improved during the years of total war, trying to finesse things, particularly in the face of the more skillful German Army, was asking for trouble.
		Soviet forces were pressing him heavily on his flanks, as well as threatening Kleist's Army Group A on the southern end of the German line.
		On 5 May 1944, the Soviets began their assault with the Second Guards Army on the northern end of the German line, where the terrain was most favorable to the offense.

	Soviet Operational Deception: the Red Cloak
		The regrouping of the 3d Guards Tank Army (GTA) in the battles for the Dnieper River in October 1943 is a second-period example that foreshadows the operational dexterity and manipulation of forces by the Red Army battlefield magicians.
		To strengthen the first-echelon rifle army strike for a quick breakthrough of the Germans' tactical defense zone, two brigades-one mechanized and one tank-from the 3d GTA were committed as forward detachments to the battle early on 15 July.
		In 1945, Red Army operational deception was marked by plausibility, greater scope, diversity of methods and forms, and the participation of the staffs of the various branches of troops at all levels.

	Russian Army - Overview
		Despite its position as the second service in the armed forces hierarchy, the Ground Forces were the most politically influential Soviet service.
		This extraordinarily high percentage reflected both the Soviet and Russian tradition of giving little authority to the enlisted ranks, as well as the vestiges of the much larger military cadre inherited from the Soviet army.
		The army had not conducted a regiment or division-scale field training exercise in over two years and most battalions were lucky to conduct field training once a year.
