Summary/Abstract |
One of the most sordid and obscure aspects of the Soviet-German War, 1941-1945, involved the repression of Red Army senior officers, who, in Stalin's eyes, failed to fulfill their duties to the Motherland. This article, the second part in a multi-part series, exploits hitherto secret archival documents to 'raise the veil of secrecy' from this tragic aspect of the war, which took its greatest toll of senior Red Army military leaders during the disastrous Barbarossa campaign in the summer and fall of 1941.

Summary/Abstract |
This article constitutes the first part of a study, prepared on the basis of archival materials, concerning the fate of Red Army general officers who were illegally repressed by Stalin and Soviet legal authorities during the Soviet-German War, 1941-1945. The author, than a graduate student at Moscow State University, was given unprecedented access to the records of the Soviet Army's Main Cadre Directorate by the Gorbachev government in order to research hitherto forbidden topics regarding general officers in the Red Army who died, were captured or repressed, or otherwise perished during the war. This study follows two studies already written and published by the same author concerning Red Army generals who perished or were captured in the war.
