"I think is is a fact that the Red Army lost several battles in the opening phase of "Barbarossa" because it was deployed for attack and not for defence."
Says Stellan.
I cannot disagree. Why was RKKA deployed for attack in 1941. Attack whom? Its partner Germany?
Many a scholar laughs at Viktor Suvorov. But, as yet, I havenīt seen a serious attempt at repudiation of his main point:
"Stalin was readying for attacking Germany in summer 1941".
The said scholars often find a minor mistake here or there, and in this way try to discard Suvorov and his books.
I think itīs a mistake. I think the man is right and history needs rewriting on this point. If RKKA was able to reach Berlin using 15% of Soviet prewar industrial potential, it was surely able to do so with 100% in 1941.
Why is Suvorov wrong? Is he?
