Daddy:
Lee and I just finished watching GENERAL Zhukov. Excellent. Had only caught a part of it on the History Channel previously, so was glad to watch it in its entirety. Thanks, enjoyed it immensely.
Several things that really came across in the documentary:
- 1: He was a damn brilliant general
- 2. The soviets had the power, the armament and the soldiers to kick some butt
- 3. Stalin was a pompous jealous fool, who could have ruined the attack because he couldn't put those feelings aside
- 4. The fire power in April across the Oder those first few days was astonishing. Over a million rounds in total!
- 5. Even though Stalin tried to take the limelight away from him, in the long run after the SOB was dead, Stalin is remembered as a villain and murderer and guess who lives on in glory? General Zhukov
