| Summary/Abstract |
GENERATIONS OF SOVIET PEOPLE and citizens of the Russian Federation have been asking the same question: Was the Soviet Union ready to rebuff Hitler's aggression on June 22, 1941? If the country was completely ready why the crushing defeats and appalling casualties of the first months of the war? If it was not prepared then who is to blame?
In many respects (the number and efficiency of heavy tanks) the Red Army was much superior to the Wehrmacht which had no heavy tanks at the early stages of war in the East.
Why then the humiliation of the early months?
