| Suvorov's AKA Rezune's ideas have no basis in reality, his mistakes are infamous and there are still those, sadly, who refuse to believe that he only misquotes, misinterprets, and lies about what happened in 1941.
As for the topic of this thread, the biggest mistake the Soviet Union made was not mobilizing before the German invasion, but that couldn't be helped. The purges were detrimental to the Red Army but most have exacerbated their affects, in fact around 17,000 were either imprisoned, sent to camps, or executed. |
