One of the most difficult and debated issues relating to the Great Patriotic War, is the issue of the contribution of a military commander, the commander in the general treasury of the Great Victory.Now a lot of talk in the sense that the main burden of this victory bore the simple Soviet people.But even advocates of this view can not admit that to realize the potential of the people, to send in the right direction his efforts could only be strong-willed decisions of outstanding military leaders.
Leaders WWII bright pages inscribed their names in the annals of the overall Russian military art.They are not hard to remember.Zhukov and Vasilevsky, Konev and Rokossovsky, Tolbukhin and many other generals of WWII embarked on a par with Alexander Nevsky and Dmitry Donskoy, Suvorov and Ushakov and Nakhimov Skobelev.
What reflected the main features of the strategic talent of the famous military leaders?First of all, it should be borne in mind that under the military commander understood senior executive under whom there are a large task forces or armed forces of the country as a whole.However, even a simple command such a large strategic connection as the front enough to not only on paper but in real life wearing the high rank of "general."They can only be one commander, who has the gift of a strategic vision, a great reputation, the military talent and unconditional organizational skills.That is why not all the commanders of the Great Patriotic War, commanding huge fronts and directions, deserve the right to be generals.
analyzing the major characteristics such thing as a "strategic talent," the majority of researchers, primarily talking about such it is at the operational-strategic thinking, that is, the ability to see the actions of the individual regiments, divisions and corps overall prospects for the development of events on theone direction or another.In addition, this quality implies the ability to communicate their vision of the situation to each slave, regardless of his rank and position.The famous generals of World War II, such as GKZhukov, ISKonev, KKRokossovsky AMVasilevsky famous including the fact that not only could in a very short period of time to assess the prospects for the development of the situation in this or that front, but it is made clear to all his subordinates.
Almost all of the most famous Soviet commanders of the Great Patriotic Won had such quality as the ability to take reasonable risks.This is most clearly manifested in the quality of the activities of the front commanders and large joints like Zhukov, Rokossovsky, Konev.All of them are often caught in a situation where one action depended on the success or failure later, so they had to take risks, take responsibility for themselves.However, the risk of them was completely justified and logically verified.
and allies and opponents of the Soviet Union recognize that the Soviet generals of World War II differed unusual approach to a given situation.Neither Zhukov nor Vasilevsky nor Malinowski almost never acted on the pattern.The basis of their leadership talent was striving in any environment, in preparation for any operation to find something unexpected that it is impossible to assume any of even the most sophisticated mind.Commanders of WWII left a rich theoretical heritage, which has been successfully studied and modern warlords.
Finally, the most important component of Soviet military art was the fact that almost all the Soviet generals of World War II knew how his army and the armed forces of the enemy.Often leaving the front line, they are due to the breadth of his mind and military talent, can in the shortest possible time to make all the necessary conclusions and bring them to the strategic plans of various military operations.
