Historical reference

At the beginning of the war, Stalin was a weak strategist and made many incompetent decisions . As an example of such a decision, Dr. Simon Sibeg-Montefiore cites the situation in September 1941: although all the generals begged Stalin to withdraw troops from Kiev, he allowed the Nazis to take the "bag" and kill a military group of five armies.

At the same time, in the opinion of Marshal of the Soviet Union G.K. Zhukov, starting from the Battle of Stalingrad, Stalin began to show himself as a person “... big strategic issues ", as well as being able to" find the main link in the strategic environment. " In general, GK Zhukov assesses Stalin as "a worthy Supreme Commander-in-Chief." In addition, GK Zhukov considers it necessary to pay tribute to IV Stalin, as an outstanding organizer in "supporting operations, creating strategic reserves, organizing the production of military equipment and, in general, creating everything necessary for waging a war" [158]. At the same time, GK Zhukov criticized Stalin for mistakes in preparing the country for defense; ignoring the obvious threat of an attack by fascist Germany; the creation of a control system in which no one could make an independent decision without Stalin's instructions; deorganization of the People's Commissariat of Defense by Stalin; suspicion and distrust of military personnel. He negatively assesses Stalin's commanding abilities, especially at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War: “... at the beginning of the war, Stalin was very poorly versed in operational and tactical issues ... He, not knowing the details of the situation at the front, and being insufficiently competent in operational matters , gave unqualified instructions, not to mention the incompetent planning of major countermeasures ... ". Zhukov sees the merit of the Soviet people in victory as opposed to Stalin: “And only the greatest patriotic love of the Soviet people and their Armed Forces for their Motherland ... made it possible, under the leadership of our party, to overcome the difficult situation that developed as a result of mistakes and blunders of the Stalinist leadership in the first period war, and then wrest the initiative from the enemy, achieve a turning point in the course of the war in our favor and complete it with a brilliant victory of world-historical significance ... In the descriptions of military events, there are almost no names of the collective of military leaders who directly planned the operations and directed the military actions of the troops. The personality cult unceremoniously erased the names of real heroes from history, and their collective merits were shamelessly appropriated by Stalin. "

A week after the start of the war (June 30, 1941), Stalin was appointed Chairman of the newly formed State Defense Committee.

On July 3, Stalin made a radio address to the Soviet people, beginning with the words: “Comrades, citizens, brothers and sisters, soldiers of our army and navy! I am addressing you, my friends! ”

On July 10, 1941, the Headquarters of the High Command was transformed into the Headquarters of the Supreme Command (SVK), and Stalin was appointed chairman instead of Timoshenko.

On July 19, 1941, Stalin replaced Timoshenko as the People's Commissar of Defense.

On August 8, 1941, by a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Stalin was appointed Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the USSR, and the Headquarters of the Supreme Command was renamed into the Headquarters of the Supreme High Command (SVGK).

On July 31, 1941, Stalin received Harry Hopkins, personal representative and closest adviser to US President Franklin Roosevelt . On December 16-20, in Moscow, Stalin negotiated with British Foreign Minister E. Eden on the question of concluding an agreement between the USSR and Great Britain on an alliance in the war against Germany and on postwar cooperation.

On August 16, 1941, Stalin signed Order of the Headquarters of the Supreme High Command No. 270, which read: “Commanders and political workers who, during a battle, tear off their insignia and defect to the rear or surrender to the enemy, are considered malicious deserters, whose families are subject to arrest as families deserters who have violated the oath and betrayed their homeland ”(see: Order No. 270).

Wikisource logo Wikisource contains texts on the topic: "Report of IV Stalin at the ceremonial meeting on November 6, 1941"

During the battle for Moscow in 1941, after Moscow was declared a state of siege, Stalin remained in the capital [163], on November 6, 1941, he spoke at a ceremonial meeting held at the Mayakovskaya metro station, which was dedicated to the 24th anniversary of the October Revolution ... In his speech, Stalin explained the unsuccessful start of the war for the Red Army, in particular, "the lack of tanks and partly aviation". 

Результати перекладуThe first robots from the leg of the "Tiger" reigned in 1938. Until the moment, there were no important tanks on the Wehrmacht, similar to those of the Radiansk T-35 or French Char B1. On the other hand, in the planning of the new doctrine (vyprobuvanіy pіznіshe in Poland and France), it is practically not a problem for important, low-deteriorating cars, so we can help those who are so kind of a tank to reach this kind of tank. Tim is no less, Erwin Aders, one of the leading designers of the company "Henschel", who hailed the project of a 30-ton "tank to cut through" (Durchbruchwagen). Stretching 1939-1941 rr. Firma "Henschel" had two previous experiences, from the designated DW1 and DW2. The first of the prototypes was not maw bashty, the other was installed basta from the serial PzKpfw IV. Tovschina armored prototypes did not perevischuval 50 mm. With the invasion of the Third Reich at the Radiansky Union, it became obvious that the Wehrmacht's tank fleet needed to be able to make the tank more powerful. Nice medium tank Panzer IV Ausf. E-F signifiedly sacrificing for the main characteristics of the Radiansk medium tank (in the Nimetsky classifications of the quiet rockies of the Mittlererschwerer - medium-important) T-34 sp. 1941. The Wehrmacht did not have an analogue of the KV-1. Hoca for rakhunok visokoї maysternostі ekіpazhіv, good nasichennya Tank Chastain artilerієyu suprovodu, vіdmіnnoї vzaєmodії of avіatsієyu nіmetskі vіyska bіlsh nіzh uspіshno vivodili of harmony Yak T-34, so i HF, in znachnіy kіlkostі boyovih epіzodіv at the hands of literacy Radyans'ka tankіstіv tridtsyatchetvіrki i HF naochno shown , it’s a good look, the change in ergonomics still doesn’t compensate for the poorer armor and health of the Panzer IV Ausf. E-F. In the midst of chaos and rogue in the Radiansk command, the cars became more threatening for the soldiers of the Wehrmacht. In addition, in the course of the battle, the nimetsy vіyskami were often told to stick out because of the advance prepared by the enemy’s defense, because the need for an important tank wasn’t going to get lost. The solution of the emerging buildings was divided into two straight lines - the modernization of the already existing armored vehicles (Panzer III and Panzer IV) and the acceleration of its analogue of the Radiansky KV-1. In an unprecedented attempt to attack the SRCP by the design bureau of two types of car and car companies - "Henschel" and "Porsche" - tactical and technical vimogi were sent for an important tank to cut the design weight of 45 tons. The ordered head of the first design bureau, Yervin Aders, also had a significant baggage for DW1 and DW2, and for Ferdinand Porsche, he got away with his rivals, just having tried himself in tanks. The presentation of the previous images was assigned to the day of the Fuhrer's People's Day - April 20, 1942, to the rock, an hour to release and induce prototypes of bulo nebagato. Yervin Aders and the sportsmen of the 1st design bureau went on the traditional path of the German tank-training school, vibrating for a new important tank the same layout as that of the Panzer IV, having stuck on the tank the new "mine leader" of the designer G. Kn_pka Prior to that, it was stagnant only on tractors and armored personnel carriers of the company "Ganomag", the victorian for the tank became a novelty for the new tank. With such a rank, it was successfully achieved to improve the smoothness of the ride, and also to improve the accuracy of the shooting on the go. Ferdinand Porsche, who at that time saw innovative robots in a car (including a sports car), trying to move his pidhid to a new one. On the first prototype, there have been realized such solutions, as highly effective later torsion in the systems of drive and electrical transmission. However, at the time of the prototype of the company "Henschel", the car of F. Porsche was structurally foldable and vimagal of more scarce materials, a zokrem midi. A bashta appeared on the last building in the distance, yaku, without any special changes, “competition” appeared. Following the results of the demonstration of prototypes to the Fuhrer and the upcoming tests at the Kummersdorf polygon, the third Reich's capital was taken by the prototype of the company "Henschel", unaffected by the intercessor of Fuhrer F. Porsche. On the name of the PzKpfw VI Ausf. H "Tiger" for launches in the middle of the world. The total number of cars produced is 1355 units.
