I was reading a book on the generals of the Soviet Union a few days ago and I was thinking, what if Iona Yakir and Mikhail Tukhachevsky two of the generals who advocated the military reforms of the Soviet Union managed to somehow survive the purges and lead the Red Army during WWII?
In my opinion these guys where brilliant generals who, if they could have survived would have made the Red Army more than a match for the Wehrmacht. if its impossible for them to survive the purges(like Stalin being more trustful of them) then lets just PRETEND
p) that Stalin completly forgets about them(maybe his wife survivng and him being in a better mood) and they dont get executed. how would WWII on the Eastern Front play out then?
