The history of the Red Army is overshadowed by the bloody purges of the 1930s. How could such a maimed army face the onslaught of Hitler's divisions? How could Soviet generals, whose independent judgement was essential to success, stand up to a bloodthirsty dictator who was ignorant of military skill?
