Twice hero of the Soviet Union.

The highest ranks of the military command were always used by honor. But has it been this title for a long time? And who were those people who managed armies and fronts, top history during one of the most ambitious military conflicts of humanity?

Who are they, generals of the Second World War?

Until 1940 was not in air force Soviet Union of such a title. Its analogues were comes, comkors, commander, commissioners. True, in September 1935, the title of Marshal, who awarded five people. But before the war, only two remained.

In May 1940, for the first time, a little more than a thousand people were presented to the rank of general and admiral. There were 1056 people in this rank. By May 1945, their number reached 5597 people.

Among the dead and missing from 1940 to 1945, 421 General and Admirals are listed.

Let's figure it out in more detail and be called outstanding warlords infeitically.

Commanders by terrestrial fronts

Even being in the highest ranks, the soldier remains a soldier. And he is absolutely not insured against death on the battlefield or for the sake of preserving honor. Although there were and who adhered to another opinion. But we will talk about them in the relevant section.

So, not all generals of the Second World War survived. I.R. APANASENKO, M.P. Kirponos, I.A. Bogdanov, F.Ya. Kostenko, M.P. Petrov, N.F. Vatutin and I.D. Chernyakhovsky heroically died under different circumstances. MG Efremov committed suicide so as not to get the fascists alive, and D. G. Pavlov was repressed.

The remaining generals of the Second World War, the list of which will take not one page, survived and largely contributed to the victory of the Soviet Union in this conflict.

We mention only some. THEM. Bagramyan is represented by the participant of many offensive operations twice.

CM. The weekly is famous not only with his mustache, but also 3 medals "Golden Star", obtained over the years of battles. Participated in and for the Caucasus.

The Hero of the Soviet Union is submitted four times, a member of a variety of battles and operations.

Awarded not only two gold stars. Also in his honor, heavily self-propelled artist - "Klim Voroshilov" is named.

Commands of FRONTS air defense

In general, to win thousands of battles, you need to have knowledge and experience in many areas. For example, to deal with professionally in strategy and tactics, know all the nuances of various troops, their ability to interact. We also need an inflexible will and rapid decision-making. These and other qualities are made from senior commandar officers who can command the armies.

The generals of the Second World War also led the troops of air defense. Among them, you can mention the following surnames: M.S. Gromadin, P.E. Gudeno, and G.S. Caller.

But not everyone was the honor and loyalty to the Motherland above his own life and interests. Among the latter can be called several people.

G.N. Alliles got into German captured under the city of Vyazma. There I gave myself over ordinary and until 1942 served in the Wehrmacht by the usual driver. But she accidentally identified the forester. After interrogation and confirmed readiness, Georgy Nikolayevich meets with Goebrus and is appointed to assistants Vlasov.

In 1945 was detained by the Americans. He reported his Soviet counterintelligence, hoping for cooperation, but after the proceedings was sentenced to death. The hanging execution was made in Butyrsa prison.

V.F. Malyshkin was captive after the "Vyazemsky boiler". Immediately expressed the desire to cooperate. He worked in the propaganda department and since 1943 it becomes assistant Vlasov in this matter.

Also was detained by the Americans, transmitted soviet authorities And executed in the Butyrsa prison.

B.S. Richter, F.I. Trukhin also managed to serve both Soviet and German side.

Thus, we see that the generals of the Second World War did not always come heroically. They were ordinary people With your fears and desires, but also with short talents in the military sphere.

Commander of the Troops of Wehrmacht

What happened on the other side of the front? What German generals of the Second World War was especially famous in battles?

Among them are also the dead in battles. This is Günther Background Blev, Fedor Background, Georg von Weizleben, Walter Model, Erwin Rommel and others.

Almost all of them were awarded the Order of the Iron Cross, which was issued since 1939 for three and more successfully conducted hazardous operations.

Among the most successful commander, Hermann Balke, Albert Cesselring, Walter Model, Ferdinand Steerner, who were four times the knights of this order four times.

German traitors generals

However, not everything went so smoothly as it could seem. Among the command of the Wehrmacht were also people who do not agree with the course of events. In search of the best destiny, they found themselves in the lists of traitors of their homeland.

Vinzzznitz Muller, Lieutenant-General. In June 1944, he turned out to be thrown from the 4th Army under Minsk. Tippelskirh, the official commander of this unit, left him all the authority, running away with his headquarters.

As a result, not receiving support, supply, provisions, without even simple cards with intelligence, he was forced to stop resistance and surrender soviet troops.

As we can see, many generals of the Second World War changed their views after, without having received support, they were in captivity. Otto Corfes, for example, was captive under Stalingrad and surrendered at a full parade. In the future, he collaborated with Soviet troops, for which his family in Germany was brutally repressions.

Bernard Behler also turned out to be captive under Stalingrad. The main reason why officers began to cooperate with the enemy, was that they vinyl the shortness of Hitler.

It turns out that the generals of the Second World War were ready to serve their country and win battles, but not always the leadership appreciated their zeal. Resentment, disappointment and other feelings pushed to cooperate with the enemy.

Thus, we in the article dealt with a bit in who these generals, and talked about the prominent warlods of World War II.

Fate of millions of people depended on their decisions!

This is not the entire list, our great commander of the Second World War!

In which each wishes can try on the University of General the time of the most destructive war in the history of mankind. True, in order to reach this title, you will have to participate in hundreds of battles and bury thousands of soldiers, but here you can not do anything: the more lead the soldiers get into the chest, the more orders appear on the chest of the general - this pattern works in.

The path to success in the generals of the Second World War begins with the crash of the aircraft. The surviving sergeant, that is, you, immediately takes the command to the remnants of the squad, destroys the enemies flew to the corpse and after a few shootout finds an abandoned military base, which will be a reliable support for future war. The development of the base is not much different from that in other browsers: new buildings, regular upgrades of old, ordering new units, arrangement of defensive structures, - Affairs from a young sergeant a bunch, and plans - even more.

Money and development experience are earned by making missions, most of which narrate real events World War II. Depending on the selected block (red army, Wehrmacht and allies are available), the nature of the tasks changes. This means that by choosing the side of Germany, you will not be able to speak on the side of the Poles in the defense of Warsaw and the more participate in the storming of Berlin.

The most interesting World War II general is a combat system. Unlike most other strategies, battles in generals are not automatic. Each battle in the game passes on a separate map with its terrain, cities, bridges and other elements of the landscape. Three types of units are available to the user:, infantry and artillery, which play the role of stone, scissors and paper.

Great importance in the game has the improvement of the skills of troops. Each unit has 16 parameters, plus it is a full-fledged weapon in the game, so if you wish any detachment, you can turn into real killers, especially if you put a suitable officer to it.

The coolness of his army can always be checked in. In general, the game is simply eating a variety of modes, ranging from ordinary arena and ending with a bastion - a certain analogue. And in generals, the Second World War has a large battle mode, in which 16 players can participate at the same time. The winner of the battle receives not only a bunch of money, but also the title of leader - manager of the entire military unit. Well, on a snack game offers World War - The main mass entertainment, where entire fractions are measured by the forces.
