When German tanks attacked the Soviet Union on a large scale and were in urgent need of personnel, where did Stalin decide the 4 major generals?
In the Second World War, the ambitious Hitler led the German Nazis to dominate the world, which was undoubtedly an unprecedented catastrophe for all the countries participating in the war. At that time, the German army relied on its strong advantage in tanks, rapidly expanded its territory, invaded and conquered many countries, and then pointed its sword at the Soviet Union, when the Soviet ruler Stalin suddenly ordered the execution of 4 generals when he was in urgent need of personnel at the time of the great war.
It is said that Hitler killed the red eye and intended to quickly annex the whole world, so he forcibly ordered German tanks to wave moscow, and when the enemy came from afar in the winter, it was beneficial to Stalin in terms of time and place, but it was not human, because the mistakes of the 4 generals eventually led to the almost defeat of the Soviet Union, so Stalin had to order them to be shot.
Among the 4 generals, one of them is a major general and three are major generals (Major General Pavlov, Major General Klimovskykh, Major General Grigoryav, Major General Korobkov), 4 of whom have led their subordinates to fight various large and small battles in their lifetimes, and have a high status in fighting experience, which has a great influence on the Soviet army.
Of the 4 men, the leader was Pavlov, who was the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army, and when the Germans attacked, he was ordered to lead an army with low combat effectiveness to the western part of the Soviet Union for garrison. Because Stalin felt that German tanks were eager to win, they would take the lead in capturing Dunsba and Ukraine, these two regions were the economic powerhouses of the country, and many gas charcoal, oil, and barley were produced here, so it was indispensable, and if it was occupied by Germany, it was equivalent to being choked by the other side.
Stalin did not dare to neglect to send heavy troops to garrison these 2 key places, according to his estimation that Germany should not talk about the main force in the western region, so he sent Pavlov to lead an ordinary army to garrison the west, but unfortunately Pavlov, when facing the German army, also thought that the other side wanted to attack the west, and as a result, when he was defeated, he found that he underestimated the enemy troops, and at this time the main German force had already invaded the west on a large scale.
The western part of the Soviet Union instantly became the main battlefield, but the army in Ukraine and Dunsbar could not be supported in time, Pavlov and the three major generals were unable to support themselves and eventually lost and retreated, and the German army used its strong advantage to completely destroy the Soviet air force in the west within a day. Then the German tanks crushed the attack all the way to the city, and the flames rushed to Moscow.
Seeing that the Soviet capital was in danger, fortunately it was a cold winter, the cold wind was grinning, and Germany was slowed down by the influence of ice and snow, so the Soviet Union was able to breathe a chance to regain its strength, and finally defeated the German army in one fell swoop with a tenacious fighting national spirit.
When Pavlov fled back with his three major generals, he was court-martialed. Because Stalin blamed them for their ineffective resistance in the west, the German advance smoothly, causing a large number of Soviet casualties, and in a fit of rage, he sentenced the four men to death by shooting.
In fact, Pavlov himself was arrogant and arrogant, and at that time he also despised the German army, and when he first came into contact with the German army, he only knew about the situation on the front line through the radio and did not fully understand it. At the beginning of the war, some courageous soldiers told him that the German army was provoking and trying to launch an attack, but he did not believe it but felt that the other side was "playing tricks" and did not dare to really attack the Soviet army, so the German reinforcements rushed to everything ready, and suddenly launched a large-scale attack, and one by one Thetu tanks posed in a formation to directly press the Soviet army.
Because Pavlov was not fully prepared before the war, resulting in a rapid collapse by the enemy, Germany took the opportunity to capture many places, at this time, Pavlov began to be anxious, but unfortunately the war situation has not been reversed, and eventually led to the first defeat of the Soviet Union. Stalin believed that pavlov and the three major generals needed to be the main responsibility for this war, and it was precisely because of their light enemy behavior that led to the loss of hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops. Even though Pavlov had made many achievements, he could not make up for the great mistakes of this war, and in order to prevent other generals from making the same mistakes in the future, Stalin finally decided to shoot 4 people to set an example. (Note: In 1956, the Soviet General Staff rehabilitated the above 4 people)
