The unexpected war of Hitler's Germany with the USSR (part 8)

117


Once again on intelligence (continued). Let me remind you that the top leadership of the spacecraft does not expect an invasion of large enemy groups from the first day of the conflict with Germany. And the intelligence data that we saw above does not contradict this misconception. You can not believe the memoirs of G.K. Zhukov, but when Georgy Konstantinovich writes about mistakes (including his own), then what is the reason for him to write a lie? To decide: as far as one can believe the statements of the Soviet military quoted below, or not to believe, accept you, dear readers, individually ...



G.K.Zhukov (22.6.41 - Head of General Staff): “... Many senior officials of the People’s Commissariat of Defense and the General Staff have too much canonized the experience of the First World War. Most of the commanding staff of the operational-strategic level, including the leadership of the General Staff, theoretically understood the changes that had occurred in the nature and methods of conducting the Second World War. However, in fact, they were preparing to wage war according to the old scheme, mistakenly believing that a big war will begin, as before, from the border battles, and then the main forces of the enemy will only enter. But the war, contrary to expectations, began immediately with the offensive actions of all the land and air forces of Nazi Germany....

The sudden transition to the offensive by all available forces, moreover, pre-deployed in all strategic areas, was not envisaged. Neither the People's Commissar, nor I, nor my predecessors B.M. Shaposhnikov, K.A. Meretskov, nor the management staff of the General Staff expected that the enemy would concentrate such a mass of armored and motorized troops and abandon them. on the first day of compact groups in all strategic areas. This was not taken into account and our commanders and troops of the border HEs were not ready for this ... ”


A.M. Vasilevsky (22.6.41 - Deputy Head of the Operations Department of the General Staff): "... Proceeding from the development of the plan ... from the correct position that modern wars not declared, but they just start already prepared for hostilities by the enemy... The correct conclusions ... for themselves, the leadership of our armed forces and the General Staff did not make and did not make any amendments to the operational plan in this regard. On the contrary the old-fashioned plan called for the so-called initial period of the war, lasting 15-20 days from the start of hostilities to the entry of the main forces of the countryduring which the troops of the covering echelons from the border VO, deployed along the frontiers, by their combat operations were supposed to cover the mobilization, concentration and deployment of the main forces of our troops. At the same time, the opposing side, i.e. Fascist Germany, with its fully mobilized and already belligerent army, was placed in relation to the terms necessary for its concentration and deployment against us, under the same conditions as our armed forces ... ”.

Commander KOVO Colonel-General M.P. Kirponos He expressed a similar opinion a few days before the war: “... From the moment of the announcement of mobilization to the beginning of active operations of large forces at the border, some time will pass. In World War I, this time was measured in weeks, in modern conditions it will certainly decline dramatically. But still in a few days we will obviously have... »

The chief of the 94 frontier post of the border detachment, MG Padzhev ("Through the whole war"): “... The commandant ordered to open the secret package, pull out the clothes from the border ... Immediately after the conversation, I opened the envelope sealed with seals and found in it a document which stated what should have been done in case the war began. The outpost, in particular, was instructed to hold the state border for three days, then, with the approach of parts of the spacecraft, move into the depths of our territory ... ”

Of course, it is clear to all readers that for three days the frontier post alone cannot keep the frontier against the German troops. This is possible only in the case of border clashes with a smaller or equal in number enemy. Consider an extract from the “Covering plan ...” of the 6-th army of Zapovo regarding operational use of the border troops:

“... a) the enemy on the border began to openly conduct hostile actions against the USSR. During this period, border troops organize enhanced border security and do not allow individual armed groups and troops to cross into our territory from the adjacent side. In addition, they organize an enhanced observation of the adjacent side with the task to establish:

- approach to the border of the enemy troops;

- where and what defensive works are performed by the enemy near the border;

- who do the defenses erected by the enemy near the border;

b) detachments and groups of enemy troops break through the state border and invade the territory of the USSR. During this period, in order to support the border troops, on alert, pre-allocated units from the 3 cd, 41 and 97 cd units arrive at the border. Moving detachments to a reinforced rifle company, rifle battalion and cavalry regiment must arrive at the border from 45 minutes to an hour and repel the enemy’s attack in conjunction with the 91 and 92 frontier detachments, being in their operational subordination. With the arrival of the senior general commander in the area of ​​operations, the battle leadership should pass into his hands. Under the cover of border units and mobile units, the main forces of the 6 Army are emerging at the border.

Having repelled the invasion of armed detachments and groups of enemy troops, the border units with the release of covering troops in their defense areas continue to guard the border... "


Some kind of unhurried scenario of expected military actions, do not you think? And the top leadership of the spacecraft believed that this was the way events would take place during hostilities with German troops. A very similar point of view was reflected by G.K. Zhukov in his report on the frontal offensive operation at the meeting of the Supreme Command of the Red Army in December of 1940: "... Based on the average pace of development of the 10-15 km operation, the total duration of the operation to a depth of 200 km will be 12-20 days ..." Similar scenarios of hostilities with Germany were considered at the games in 1941 (there is an article on this topic on the Military Review website: https://topwar.ru/21830-igry-41-go-goda.html).

The following is the order of the 11 Army's artillery NS that the position (the deployment of enemy units) has not changed according to intelligence data on 14-00 21.6.41.

[intelligence from 18.06.41, cited in the previous part]. NS PribOVO Lieutenant-General Klenov, Deputy Chief of the RO of PribOVO headquarters Colonel Kashnikov

Intelligence Report SOVOVO "... The grouping of the German army on 21.6.41 was determined:

1. East Prussian direction. On the right, Suwalki, Heilsberg; on the left - Schuchin, Naidenburg: Allenstein 9 Army Headquarters, four AK headquarters - Elk, Letzen, Ortelsburg, Allenstein; nine headquarters are Seyny, Spray, Suwalki, Oletsko, Aris and in the depths - Allenstein, Lyubava, Lidzbark; up to two PD, two MD (data PribOVO), ten up (up to two heavy an: presumably two divisions "SS", anti-aircraft artillery regiment, up to four CP) ...

CONCLUSION:

1) According to available data, which are checked, the main part of the German army in the ZOVOVO zone has taken up its original position.

2) In all directions, parts and means of reinforcement are tightened to the boundary.

3) All reconnaissance means check the location of troops at the border and the depth.

NSH ZOVOVO Major General Klimovskiy, Chief of the Regional Staff of the ZAPOV Colonel Blokhin»


It turns out that RO Zapovo, in contrast to RO PribOVO, managed to detect the exit of German troops from the depths of its territory to the border to the initial lines. RO ZOVOVO was also able to detect a sharp increase in the number of German connections from 30 (appearing in reconnaissance during 1,5 months) to 49 to 20-00 21.6.41 ... But for various reasons, it did not have time to bring ZOVOVA’s management ... "Sent 22 June 1941 g. In 15 hours 20 minutes". This information did not have time to get to the beginning of the war before the leadership of the ZOVOVO and PribOVO. But it is unlikely that the information from the previous Zapovo report on the deployment of German troops against PribOVO was very different from that considered.





From the figures it is clear that 8 hours before the start of the war:

- the concentration of German troops near the border with PribOVO was not noted again. At a distance of about 10 km from the border, there are only four TB. Another part of the motorcycle and armored units is located in 15-20 km;

- again there are no pronounced shock groups near the border. The grouping concentrated near the city of Gambinnnen can also be redeployed to the Suwalki bulge, which corresponds to the concept of attacking Germany against the USSR in the opinion of the General Staff;

- the headquarters of the MK and tank groups were not found again;

- near the border with PribOVO there are no headquarters of German troops at all. An exception is the possible location of the 61 headquarters in 10 km from the border. The nearest AK headquarters is located in 20 km. If there are no headquarters near the attacking troops, then how can these troops be led? The number of aircraft has not changed significantly (on 17.6.41 - more than 500, on 21.6.41 - 583). A significant part of the regiments and formations disappeared somewhere from the zone of attention of our intelligence, but intelligence was instructed to sort out this issue: “... Do the parts that are not indicated in this report continue to remain, which we have previously noted (our intelligence No. 15 from 18.6.41.”. The lack of reliable sources of information abroad and the lack of communication with the few available ... Even reconnaissance aircraft to raise, having read this summary, the leadership of the district is late ...

If you look again at the disposition of the German troops shown in the figures, you can only conclude that provocations German troops in the area of ​​Klaipeda and Suvalka protests against PribOVO. In other places, the German units near the Baltic border are too few. According to the disposition of the German troops shown in the figures nothing can be said about the possible start of a full-scale war in 8 hours.

It turns out that K. Derevianko, in his answers to General Pokrovsky, reflected incorrect information: there is no information in the latest intelligence reports of the PribOVO on the directions of the expected strikes of the German troops. There are no distinct shock groups at the border. The concentration of German troops on the border with the Baltic states was not detected. Perhaps most of the German formations and units are located in the same place where they were deployed in the autumn of 1940 - in the spring of 1941 ... No German divisions were found around 20 in the adjacent territory. A day before the war, district intelligence lost some of the previously detected compounds ... Strange, but why did the deputy head of the RO need to reflect incorrect information in his answers?

As you remember, in the previous part it was mentioned that the deputy head of the RO Pribova K. Derevianko wrote: “... The probable directions of the expected strikes of the Germans RO considered the directions: Eidkunen-Kaunas and Turogen-Šiauliai ...” was held much later after the start of the war.



The unexpected war of Hitler's Germany with the USSR (part 8)


From the presented materials it is clear that on 21.6.41, the troops of the PribOVO front concentrated to cover the directions of Tilsit-Šiauliai, Gumbinnen-Kaunas, and Suvalki-Vilna. The first two directions coincide with the opinion of specialists of the General Staff of the Spacecraft, the leadership of PribOVO and RO. Why did the deputy head of the RO pay special attention to indicating these directions in his answers? They also appeared in the projects of the “Plans of cover ...” and in all subsequent documents on the management of the Okrug troops. It turns out that the leadership of the district knew about these directions for a long time. The leadership of PribOVO did not know only: when the troops of the enemy would advance to the state border to their initial positions for attack. And, it was precisely this fact that the RO of the front-district could not detect ... In addition, the shock German groups could concentrate before attacking in other directions. After all, the above directions are purely theoretical calculations of the GSH specialists based on the results of the military games of the Soviet military, who did not know how exactly the German military leaders would act - they only supposed...

Consider excerpts from the three documents of the German troops (documents are provided from the “Personal Website of the Historian Mark Solonin”).

RCB 3 Tank Group: «21.06.41 0-00 39-th and 57-th MK took their sites and changed the security at the border ...

20-20 The 57-th AK reports that two SS brigades stopped at the Lyck-Treuburg section and blocked the advance of the 19-th etc ...

The advancement of the Tank Group took place according to plan. The need to continue the march during the daytime, which arose due to the small number of roads and short nights, did not prevent secrecy ... The divisions took shelter of artillery, heavy guns and anti-aircraft guns, perfectly disguised and ready for the offensive ...

22.06.41 02-00 Divisions took the starting position.

03-05 After a quietly past night and taking up initial positions in 2-00, all four corps of the Panzer Group launched an offensive. Tank corps on the front line on foot are accompanied by arrows and infantry ... "


RCB 57 MK (3 Tank Group). "...14.6.41 Tracked vehicles 12-th TD arrived at the point of temporary deployment. The first parts of the 19 th TD are unloaded and follow the march to the designated point of temporary deployment.

16.6.41 18 wheeled vehicles arrived at the temporary deployment point.

17.6.41 ... All parts of 19 td arrived at the point of temporary deployment.

18.6.41 Half of the 18 md leaves the temporary dislocation point and marches to halt at Ekersberg (Okartovo). Rearguard located there 19.6 to 4-00. The 210 th bridge building battalion entered Suwalki with all units. Half 18 md in 16-00 finished the halt and goes to the prescribed starting position. 12 td moves out ... in accordance with the schedule and is on vacation along the route from Suwalki to Lytsk.

20.6.41 12 td occupies the prescribed starting position ... The 29-th TP division, along with the other units, with 16-00 resumes movement along the established route. 19 td moves along the route from the former point of temporary dislocation with a halt on both sides of the route of movement of tanks ...

21.6.41 Around 7 in the morning begins the redeployment of the corps control from Mikolajki to a new command post in the Sejny area
[9,5 km from the Soviet-German border]... In 20-00 from 19, etc., they said by telephone that her planned march southwest from Orzhes [Orzhes - Arys - 133 km from the border with the Baltic States] due to the wedging of two SS connections on the road intended for the movement of tanks, it becomes questionable ... With 21-00, 19 etc. continued to move in the area of ​​Lytsk-Suwalki ... "

Order 20 th AK (from the 9 Army): “... Divisions are being deployed in their districts ... so that they can launch an offensive at dawn on day B [22 June]. At the same time, we should strive to ensure that the most powerful units in their capabilities were moved to their initial positions only on the night from “B-1” to day “B” ... Pulling up to the border should be done ... as far as possible late and unnoticed. Defense of initial positions should be limited to the most necessary; Unreasonably high protection measures will allow the enemy’s intelligence to reveal our intentions prematurely ... ”

ZhBD 3 td (from the 24-th MK 2-th tank group, army group "Center"): "...13.06.41 Units report on arriving in a new area of ​​concentration ... Parts in forest camps are persistently complaining about the torment of mosquitoes ...

14.06.41 East of the restraining line is prescribed a thorough disguise....

20.6.41 Released from the Radzyn area
[64 km from the border] in accordance with the order of the division commander, the units are leaving ... to the area of ​​initial positions ...

21.6.41 In 23-30, parts report on the readiness and occupation of the latest starting positions. ”


“Directive on the strategic concentration and deployment of troops (the Barbarossa plan) ... OKH intends to redeploy by this time all the working headquarters of army groups, armies and tank groups to the East to prepare and implement the necessary measures. In order to keep secrets the said headquarters should be located in the areas of the headquarters of the armies of Army Group “B” or armies already in the East ... Army Command and Army Commanders accept the lanes intended for them, in accordance with the directive on concentration, observing first masking measures... »

“Command of the 6 Army (from the Army Group“ South ”) 2 in May 1941 Directions for the nomination of“ Barbarossa ”... 13. Secrecy: ... Necessary Attractions [military personnel] for intelligence should be masked by exercises and territorial events. The corps command is responsible for ensuring that reconnaissance at the frontier is carried out only under camouflage (unobserved from abroad). To do this, you should immediately create barriers on all roads and paths leading to the border in cover areas that can be crossed only by officers (for example, sappers) who have a special corps command pass. Any involvement of the civilian population is prohibited. Orders for the nomination of troops can not be issued completely, and work out only excerpts (in stages) ... "

From the documents submitted it is clear that the German command prepared for the final stage in advance and carefully: the concentration of its troops at the Soviet-German border. It sought to ensure the secrecy of conducting reconnaissance of the concentrating troops and relocating the headquarters of the formations to the border. There was some "Prohibitive line"followed by the strictest disguise. The movement of troops was carried out in the evening and at night, on the part of the halts stopped in the woods during the day. First of all, less combat-ready units were put forward (construction, bridge-over parts, supply columns, engineer battalions, etc.). Combat units were deployed in the last 1,5-1 day before the start of the war. From June 18-19, orders are given to shoot down any Soviet aircraft that have flown over the border. Conducting aerial reconnaissance along the border before 21 June was ineffective ... Therefore, the scouts did not notice how the Germans redeployed, as unknown headquarters appeared near the well-known headquarters. The 57 connections of the MK were 18.6.41 along the Lutsk-Suwalki road. In the military intelligence unit for 21.6.41, these units should have been reflected, but, unfortunately, intelligence did not detect them. Moreover, reconnaissance during this period lost many German units and formations that began to redeploy to the border. Even concentrating near the border, the German troops reached the border directly (to the initial areas for attack) only by the beginning of 22.6.41.

In the early days of the war, turmoil, lack of communication, not understanding of the situation, panic affected the work of intelligence. The intelligence of the North-Western Front could not provide the necessary information to the command of divisions-corps-armies-front. Therefore, the order has already been prepared on June 24. Similar orders were issued in subordinate NWF unions.

“Order of the headquarters of the North-Western Front from 24 June 1941 to the Chiefs of Staff of 8, 11, 27 armies. Heads of the 5 and 12 MC

Despite the fact that the NWF troops have been fighting on the whole front for two days, until now almost in none of the command links there is no information about the strength and grouping of the enemy. The incoming information and reports are contradictory, confused and therefore of little value. This is explained by the fact that the commanding personnel forgot about the need to conduct thorough reconnaissance by all means during the whole battle and outside it. So far, at the front, captured units have been captured, and besides, the numbering of the units to which they belong is unknown to the headquarters of the army ... Deputy NSH SZF, Head of the RO Colonel Safronov»


«Battle Order №3 by 26.6.41 On eliminating deficiencies in the organization and conduct of reconnaissance by formations and units

1. The first four days of the military operations of the corps units showed that reconnaissance, surveillance and security in the units were completely absent. The commanding personnel are not interested in reconnaissance, do not organize - forget ...

2. In the absence of our reconnaissance, the enemy regroup with impunity, is active in fast-moving groups on the flanks and in the seams, and even penetrates to the rear of our units. The enemy, each time throwing forward mobile reconnaissance units consisting of motorcyclists, motorized infantry, tanks and cavalry, with impunity, finds out the joints and flanks of our parts and then throws out large, fast moving parts and thereby achieves some success.

3. Control prisoners in parts were delayed by more than 2-3 hours, and the first prisoners were delayed up to 5-6 hours. Prisoners interview anyone they want, without a system, but not the scouts, who should be in the first place. When sending prisoners, questionnaires and any reports of their preliminary testimony as a result of their questioning on the spot are not submitted ... The commander of 10 sk sk Major-General Nikolaev, NS Major-General Berezinsky»


The specified problems remained in the specified question even in the beginning of July. The reconnaissance of armies, corps and divisions is conducted by intelligence agencies of the front. Among others, the deputy head of the SZF RO, K. Derevianko, is responsible for this (from July 4, head of the SZF RO).

Report of Major General Tikhonov from 9.7.41 g. «About the reasons for unsuccessful combat operations of the North-Western Front in the Riga-Pskov and Ostrovsko-Pskov directions":" ... Exploration is not enough, primitive, careless. The headquarters do not put parts of the tasks for reconnaissance in battle. The obtained intelligence data remain unused, do not draw conclusions, often do not inform the higher headquarters and, as a rule, do not inform the lower headquarters and neighbors at all.

As a result, the troops are working blindly - not a single case has been noted where the commander would make a decision, having more or less accurate information about the enemy ... "


In the summer of 1942, there was also a lack of intelligence work before the start of the war: «Annual report. On the combat activity of the air forces of the North-Western Front for the period from 22.6.41 to 1.7.42. ... Composition and number of enemy air forces in front of the NWF [to 22 June 1941 of the year] due to the lack of intelligence before the war, it was impossible to pinpoint [it was] impossible ... ”

Someone had to answer for the defeat of the NWF frontier group in the unexpected attack of the German troops. Or intelligence (which "blinked" the concentration of enemy troops on the initial lines at the border) or the district command for their criminal negligence ... Did the leaders of the RO understand that they, in fact, were "switchmen"? They had to understand - they are smart and thinking people. 1 July 1941 year NSH NWF PS Klenov removed from office.

NKVD data: “Klenov Petr Semenovich, born 1892, former member of the All-Union Communist Party of the Soviet Union (BPS) 1931, headquarters captain of the tsarist army. Before his arrest - NS PribOVO, Lieutenant General. 9.6.1941 was arrested. He is found guilty of the testimony of Dybenko, Kochergin and Egorov, as a member of a Trotskyist right-wing organization, is accused of sabotage by the testimony of witnesses Rubtsov, Derevianko, Kashirsky and Korenovsky. He confessed to the manifestation of inactivity in the leadership of the district troops. " 13.02.42 d. By decree CCA sentenced to capital punishment. Shot 23 february1942 of the year. Rehabilitated 9 June 1956

Since the four witnesses who convict Pavel S. Klenov were not placed in alphabetical order and three of them had the title of “colonel”, they are probably placed according to the importance of the testimony given by them against NSH NWF. Who are these witnesses?

Colonel Rubtsov. For February, 1941 is in the state of RO PribOVO. From the first days of July 1941 of the year - deputy head of the operations department of the NWF. One of the main witnesses. What information is available about this person? “From August 1938 to August 1940 - Head of RO Kalininsky IN. In the period 1939 – 1940. participated in the war against Finland in the post of chief of the RO 7-th army. In August, 1940, in connection with the reorganization of Kalinin VO in PribOVO, was appointed deputy head of the district RO [this is incorrect information - since the summer of 1940, Colonels Kashnikov and Derevyanko are deputy chiefs of the RO.] He led a group of officers of the HE headquarters according to the description of the advanced theater, as well as the military-geographical description of Lithuania and Latvia. In the same period, he was appointed chairman of the mixed Soviet-German commission on demarcation (8 subgroup) ”. It is evident that this was not a fairly unambiguous person. Former head of the Regional Department of Military Unity, who became just a colonel in the District of RO. He was forced by the order of the National Military School of Higher Education to engage in secondary matters. Over the next thirteen years, remained in the same rank that he had a year before the outbreak of war ...

Colonel Derevyanko. The second most important witness. He was obliged to repeat the testimony he gave to the investigator at the end of June and the beginning of July 1941 of the year in the answers to General A.Pokrovsky. April 1953 of the year. Stalin is gone, but the organs still exist. There were no people at that time who would not be afraid of them. The author tried to show that in his answers to Pokrovsky K. Derevianko distorted the true picture of the German troops discovered by PribOVO on the eve of the war. In the autumn of 1938, two of his relatives were repressed; he was blamed for marrying the daughter of a priest. Derevianko managed to survive the repression of that period, referring directly to the Commissar of Defense. These contrived accusations and the incorrect reflection of the location of the German troops before the beginning of the war in the summer of 1941 could lead to only one final for him ... Later, he fought worthily, Lieutenant General.

Colonel Kashirsky. Head of the staffing department of the NWF. The only witness who is not a scout. Kashirsky is known from the loss report (from 22.06.41 to 01.08.41, NWF lost 57207 people, that is, almost one and a half times less than in the first days of the 18 war). Surely, in the manning department in the first days of the war there was a real "madhouse": tens of thousands of draftees from the areas adjacent to the Baltic states arrived, there was not enough of everything that one can imagine; Also, for all this, someone was obliged to answer. Kashirsky found guilty NSh District, or just helped the intelligence ...

Korenovsky. The surname is a typo. This is Major Korenevsky - Head of the 3 (Information) Branch of the RO PribOVO. This person was responsible for analyzing the information received from the agents for the preparation of analytical reviews and summaries. Reports were presented to you, there is no analysis in them. After the appointment Derevyanko head of the RO was appointed to the post of deputy head of the RO SZF. Later he fought with dignity. Already 22.7.41 has been submitted to the award. Colonel-General of the GRU.

Employees of the front of the RO front "piled" his immediate superior - the front of the NS, blaming him for his flaw. I am glad that among the witnesses, not a single deputy (or assistant) of the NS and other employees of PribOVO-NWF, leadership and army headquarters were noted.

Perhaps, the witnesses believed that they were right, but, unfortunately, this is not particularly “whitewashing” them ... Consider the memorandum of the intelligence officer RO ZOVOVO written in 6 months after the start of the war.

«Memorandum the head of the Lomzhinsky operative center of the RO of the ZAPOVO headquarters to the representative of the special department of the NKVD of the Western Front about the work of this point before and during the 4 war in January 1942.

Since March, 1941, the agent’s office began reporting on the concentration of German troops in East Prussia and the former Poland along the Soviet border. According to a secret employee of Felix, in March 1941, in Poland and East Prussia, more 100 infantry and 8-10 etc were concentrated.

The Felix material was reported by the ZOVOVO headquarters RO. After the conversation, the Felix data were called misinformation, and the item was pointed out that the Germans have 25-40 divisions on this front ... RO often reproached the point for intelligence dispatches, in which, according to department, exaggerated the number of German troops ...

In April, 1941 of the year, according to residents of Arnold, Vistula and Pochtovoy, concentrated along the Soviet border up to 1,5 million troops, which was immediately reported to RO, but a resolution was put on our report by the deputy head of the RO Lieutenant Colonel Ilnitsky content: "This stupidity can be expected only from the Lomzhinsky item." According to the RO, the Germans at this time had 25-40 divisions. This standard figure has been in the intelligence department for more than a year ... Captain Kravtsov»


In fact, on the whole of the Soviet-German border, including the territory of Finland, in April there were only 47 German divisions. As of March 1941, there could be even fewer divisions. The captain Kravtsov, who wrote the memorandum, was confident that the German divisions were up to 100-108. Confident in the rightness, he writes a report to the special department of the front on "Careless attitude" RO ZAPOVO's guides to their intelligence information ...

In conclusion, I would like to note that a large number of Directives from Moscow are addressed to the District Military Councils. The District Military Council includes: the commander of the troops, the CID and the NS. Directives from the HE headquarters to subordinate troops were also signed by all members of the District Military Council. Responsibility is collegial. Of course, this does not exclude the sole order of the commander of the armed forces. What happened to the rest of the Military Council of PribOVO-NWF?

3.7.41 NWF Commander F.I. Kuznetsov was removed from office for inept command and control. The Commander of PribOVO-SZF should have a greater responsibility than the District High School. From July 10, F.I. Kuznetsov was appointed commander of the 21 army, and 26.7.41 - commander of the Central Front.

ChVS Corps Commissar P. Dibrova 1.7.41 July removed from their posts and appointed Commissioner 30-th SD. With 18.12.41, again the FWS of the 59, and later of the 2 of the Shock Army. By rank he could claim for re-certification for the rank of “Lieutenant-General”, but he did not pass by position. In December, 1943 received the rank of Major General of the quartermaster service.

D.N.Gusev - since July 1940, Deputy NS Pribovo. Since July 1941, the NSN of the 48 Army of the Western Front. Since September, 1941 - Deputy, and from October, NSH of the Leningrad Front.

GPSofronov - from January 1941, the 1-th Deputy Commander PribOVO. From June 19-20 - Commander of the Baltic Military District (after the separation of the front command post from PribOVO). 1.7.41 removed from office. With 26.7.41 appointed commander of the Seaside Army of the Southern Front.

All the above-mentioned former leaders of PribOVO-NWF have been preserved life and rank, having been demoted. Former NSh SZF Lieutenant-General Peter Semenovich Klenov recognized everything and did not “drag him along” his like-minded people and subordinates ... The kingdom of heaven, a kind man ...

PS The events reviewed on the eve of the war and in its first days are a sad lesson for the country's leadership and intelligence. The theme of the surprise attack is relevant in our time, when quite often on the websites it is said about the “Fast global strike” by the NATO forces and, first of all, by the United States. The pogrom of a similar defeat of one of the armies - the SC in the summer of 1941, will not happen again. There will be no surprise attack ... Intelligence will fulfill its role ...

        Now our leaders would have such a "low" intellect as that of Stalin, who was able to build the most modern industry and recreate the army out of ruin in a short time. Not forgetting the crimes of the regime, the fact remains that the USSR won the war, relying on the new army and economy, clearly could not have created it. Stalin was anyone, but not a person with low intelligence.
        Nobody destroyed the line of defense on the old border - it is a myth of couch historians, it’s another thing that they used it through one place, just like the new line of defense.
        People are not arming themselves with rifles, and rightly so - I would not want to see a new round of crime an order of magnitude higher than the current one.
        But problems with the command of the army arose for one reason - in the early to mid-30s, they “cleared out” all military specialists — staff officers of the tsarist army with vast combat experience. Ideology intervened in the army, professionalism was replaced by partisanship. From here all the troubles went - the low level of the command staff of the army, military intelligence, communications, supplies, organization of command and control of troops. And as soon as this experience was gained with blood, not earlier - they began to beat Germany. What are only ten Stalinist strikes in the 44th, “Barbarosa" resting.

          ecologer:
          ... at the beginning - the middle of 30-s, they “cleaned” all military specialists - cadre officers of the tsarist army with a huge combat experience.

          You have one statement contradicts another. Who do you think the military experts cleaned out? Isn't that the one with HIGH intelligence? When it was good that something turned out in the country and at the front, the name STALIN was the same, but as a crime or failure, it is someone unknown. The villains lived in the country, did not report to the DRIVER of the army in the staff ...
          I thought that this heresy would go to IN only until the celebration of 100 - the anniversary of Maidan 1917 in Russia, and it continues now.

        Alas, the very low intellectual level of Stalin and his inner circle did not allow to draw lessons even from the 1939-1940 campaign.


        But Chamberlain and Daladier’s high intelligence .... Continue to continue (I can, if your intellectual level does not allow it), or do you get it yourself?

        Stalin at least won several years and did not allow Germany to attack in alliance with Poland.

        .The Germans in 1941 were really not ready. And only our reorganization of the Red Army (which buried B / P,) helped them very cool.

        All these conversations that if they had complied with the directive on bringing the Red Army to the BG would have been fulfilled, the war would have gone differently, stupidity.

        If a month before the start of the war. such an event would then be- would retreat along the Dnieper, and conditionally would begin in 1942 (with failures, but without losses of 1941).

        And so, for such a beginning of the war, Meretsky was rightly pressed, it would have been necessary for Zhukov. Then he would have fought prudently.

        As he mistrusted the people from the number of militia divisions, partisans and underground fighters, the defensive lines are a separate topic of the Siegfried and Maginot line, and apparently the expression dibelism in relation to gineralisimus used the incorrectly atomic shield of Russia to a large extent.

        The agents were. And along the lines of the Comintern and the GRU. At the border, a powerful Wehrmacht group was pulled together. And you want to say that you have not seen this? Pecked at the tale of England?
        True, until the age of 41, a similar situation was in the year 39. Soviet-Finnish War. Stupidly went to the Finns and ran into powerful fortified areas, the modern bunkers of which the KA did not even know.
        About the preemptive strike. I do not agree with you. Like there were no forces and means. And when are they enough? Everything was. There was no competent and decisive leadership. There were no competent warlords. For me in Russia there was only one commander who fought not by numbers, but by skill. A.V. Suvorov. There were no others.
        There was a lot of equipment, caterpillar tractors were used to tow artifacts. The Germans used horses. We had medium tanks, until the age of 42 they were no better. There were heavy HF. There were light tanks. True, the Germans burned the tanks with aircraft, and the tractors were abandoned by the retreating units and about 1000 units were used by the Germans. The figure from memory. So the opportunity to suddenly hit the first was. And a chance to bring the Germans to flight. Even in case of failure, hostilities would not go on our territory. And it would be time to mobilize and expand industry, since factories were built in the Urals. Yes, history has no subjunctive mood.
        Do you think it was better to send troops to Ukraine in 2014 or to wait for them to trample on us now. In 2014 there were reputational risks (sanctions, etc.) and now there are big losses. The West feeds Ukrainians, the West has become one. What scenario will the states play. No one knows. But the probability of using Ukrainians as a battering ram is high. And now we will wait for them to fall apart ......

          OWNERS OF THE WORLD -USA DETERMINED DETERMINED ---- --- WHO WILL ATTACK THAT AND THE AGGRESSOR
          Truman's words "if he wins ... then we will help the other side ..."
          before agreeing on positions with the USA and Vl Br, it WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO START A WAR. they hung Hitler like that. cm you need the number of stew and ICE + number of bridges (see mine above) + shipbuilding + million tons of iron and steel, aluminum and + 1000 other little things
          "fooling around" in front of the border, in my opinion, is simple-- "eat, tear yourself and become an aggressor"
          forced victim.
          they thought - "maybe according to the plates the losses were counted in the exercises and it will be something like Zhukov and Tymoshenko say" otherwise it’s NOT CLEAR (or is it possible?)

          They didn’t enter the outskirts in 14g - bad, but it was impossible to enter. RF-AGGRESSOR loot over everything and from export - the EU will close tightly.

            There was information that Britain asked the USSR to begin military operations against the Germans. Europe was occupied, i.e. the aggressor has already been found. Therefore, fighting is the deliverance of Europe from the brown plague. They entered Syria. True, at the request of Assad. But the West wanted to overthrow him, for them he is not the president.
            Ukraine. GDP requested the Federation Council permission to use the troops of the Russian Federation abroad. Immediately after the coup in Kiev. So there was a solution, someone offered him? And then the recognition of chocolate. Stop.

          This powerful group of the Wehrmacht consisted of infantry divisions. But the main strike force (tank and motorized) divisions of the Wehrmacht transferred over the course of two weeks, so that the Red Army could not fully turn around well, no matter how it could, it took 3-4 months.

      There was a cruel attitude - "Do not succumb to provocations, do not give cause for war." That is why the trains with raw materials drove to Germany until the last second. And to any question from the bottom "Will there be a war or not" there was an answer - "Explain what is not, until there is no stone left from Germany from stone." And do what you want. But if something is wrong - no one forgot for 37 years.
      And they were preparing for war, Stalin at the graduation of military academies in May 5, 1941 directly said about the upcoming war:
      Peace policy provided peace to our country. Peace politics is a good thing. For the time being, for a time we drew a line on the defense - until they rearm our army, did not provide the army with modern means of struggle.
      And now, when we reconstructed our army, filled it with equipment for modern combat, when we became strong - now we have to go from defense to offensive.

    It would be interesting to read about the work of intelligence and headquarters during the beginning of the 1 and 2 th Chechen wars. The events were recently, the vast majority of participants are in good health, you can type a lot of information. But I’m afraid there will still be the same unsolved problems: lack of information about the enemy, poor-quality analysis, generals make decisions “who is in the woods, who is by fire”, etc. and as a result, everything is decided by the courage of soldiers and officers, by the skills of individual senior officers and generals.

Zhukov apparently tried not to anger Stalin and clearly execute his orders. Therefore, he did not sit. By the way, he supported Nikita after the death of the leader, about whom (Stalin) after the congress he spoke impartially, playing along with Khrushchev. Those. the man was addicted.

      And what apart from the CPSU were there still political departments? Share your knowledge, you are our witness. Nobody corrected his memoirs. All by yourself. Even twice. Do not agree? Then the exact name of the POLITISHER who edited Zhukov’s memoir, for example.

    The farther 22.06.41, the more willing to discuss this date. But...
    The attack on the Crimea in 1854 - suddenly.
    Port Arthur - in 1904 suddenly.
    Yes, and Pearl Harbor in 1941 - suddenly. And 1 September 1939 - not suddenly? And the strike of the Wehrmacht in 1940 year in France is also not sudden? Conclusion: the aggressor always has effective methods to disguise his intentions well. And in this sense, Crimea in the 2014 year, one of the exemplary operations to prevent the seizure of the territory of Russia. We rehabilitated before the story.

    “When Georgy Konstantinovich writes about mistakes (including his own), then what is the reason for him to write a lie? "

    - to hide his guilt for defeat at the beginning of the war. . by transferring the shooter to intelligence, which didn’t report something to him, to Stalin, who mixed up something with him ..
    “However, in reality they were preparing to wage the war according to the old scheme, mistakenly believing that the great war would begin, as before, with border battles, and then the main enemy forces would only enter into business. But the war, contrary to expectations, began immediately with the offensive actions of all the land and air forces of Nazi Germany ... "

    - lying. And - he writes about the mythical workers of the General Staff, but in general this is what he is - the General Staff ... This is he ... he invented with pre-war plans and he did them stupid things that led to the fact that at the border the cover division was not holding 10 km of authorized defense and - up to 30-50 km minimum.
    Madame, the author, before getting into the topic, would have to figure out what the Meretskov Zhukovs planned in our General Staff to do in the event of an German attack, and what they then hid with their lies — how they waited for the Germans to get in between ...
    “Neither the People's Commissar, nor I, nor my predecessors B.M. Shaposhnikov, K. A. Meretskov, nor the command staff of the General Staff expected that the enemy would concentrate such a mass of armored and motorized troops and throw them on the very first day with compact groups in all strategic directions . ”

    - lying ... Especially since Shaposhnikova smears her ... shame ..

    "A.M. Vasilevsky (22.6.41 - Deputy Head of the Operations Department of the General Staff):" ... Ref "

    - Zhukov's “matchmaker” - he was different and couldn’t lie later .. Stalin was to blame for them in the end ...
    For starters, Madame Aftaru should not read Zhukov’s lie and Vasilevsky’s rehearsal = pre-war plans, but the work of Marshal Zakharov or Gretsov or Baghramyan - what was there who planned in the General Staff in case of war with Germany.

    “From the figures it is clear that 8 hours before the start of the war:

    “Once again, there was no concentration of German troops near the border with PribOVO.”

    - yeah - and therefore, on June 18, in PribOVO, it was reported to the regiments that the attack was expected on the night of June 20, border mining began and border divisions were withdrawn to the defense zone along the border ... Secret from the Kremlin)))

      - type - headquarters - ahead of the troops, on a dashing horse, or something ???)))

      “It turns out that K. Derevyanko in his answers to General Pokrovsky reflected incorrect information: there is no information in the latest intelligence reports of RO Pribovo about the directions of the expected attacks by German troops. There are no pronounced strike groups at the border ”

      - no - this is Madame, the author ignoring OTHER facts - composes on ONLY ONE material - on PUBLISHED RO reports - a picture of the world))))

      “The leadership of PribOVO did not know only: when the enemy troops would advance to the state border at the starting positions for the attack. And, it was this fact that the RO of the front-district could not detect ... "
      - and therefore, since June 17, has led to B.G. their border divisions in these areas)) bringing to the regiments that an attack is expected, and the Air Force commanders brought their SBD divisions on June 19 - the date and time of the attack - 3.00 on June 22)))
      Madame - can you begin to finally study the question on ALL available facts and events?)))

      “The above directions are purely theoretical calculations of the specialists of the General Staff based on the results of the military games of the Soviet military, who did not know exactly how the German military commanders would act - they only assumed ...”

      - actually - this is science)) military geography for example))) Or Madame the author thinks like - from the ceiling, such "assumptions" were taken ???)))

      ". The combat units were deployed in the last 1,5-1 days before the start of the war "

      - and with us - from June 17, border divisions and MEKKORPUS began to withdraw along the border into the defense zone - with the expectation of an attack on June 20 more))))
      “Even focusing on the border, the German troops went directly to the border (in the original areas for attack) only at the beginning of 22.6.41.”

      - it would be better if the author told Madame how the beginning of the Headquarters of the Maples acted on the night of the attack. How he scored on the order of the General Staff - to raise the district on alarm))))

      “The conduct of reconnaissance activities by reconnaissance of armies, corps and divisions is primarily controlled by the Front Front. Among others, the deputy head of the North-West Federal District K. Derevyanko is also responsible for this ”

      - and so it’s cho)) EXPLORATION OF TYPE DO NOT REPORT IN TIME - who there with what forces will trample on the USSR !!!))))

      I grabbed a couple of docks and got into intelligence again)) And who there and who else dreamed and muddied - do not care))) What orders went to the okrugs all June - do not give a damn))) As Trukhin with ciphers of the headquarters of PribOVO-NWF, the Germans wandered over - 27th already - yes, do not care - the guilty intelligence)))

      - so we finally wait for the story of how this wonderful staff captain and adorer of Trotskag - the "creator" of the Red Army - put on the order of Moscow on the night of June 22 and did not raise the district on alarm AT ALL ???)))
      “Surely, in the staffing department in the early days of the war there was a real“ lunatic asylum ”: tens of thousands of draftees arrived from areas adjacent to the Baltic, there wasn’t enough everything that could be imagined, there was a hostile atmosphere in the national divisions to understaff units. Also, someone was obliged to answer for all this. Kashirsky found guilty of the NSh district, or simply helped scouts ... "
      - Madame - Klenov is not accused of what he did or did not AFTER June 22, but - BEFORE ...))) - “he is convicted of wrecking evidence of witnesses Rubtsov, Derevianko, Kashirsky and Korenovsky. I confessed to being inactive in the leadership of the district’s troops ”)))

        - what other flaws ??? What the Klenovs put on intelligence reports or the like. as well as RO employees participated in this - in the same ZAPOVO - - FACT)))

        MADAM "historian" - Klenov DID NOT RAISE THE DISTRICT AT NIGHT AT ALL ALARM !! THE ONLY DISTRICT that SLEEP after receiving the deer. BN - about full combat readiness !! ONLY!!
        This fact alone is enough to shoot Klenov like a dog - without trial or investigation in general ..

        “In April 1941, according to the residents of Arnold, Vistula and Postal, up to 1,5 million troops were concentrated along the Soviet border, which was immediately reported to the RO, but a resolution was put on our report by the deputy chief of the RO Lieutenant Colonel Ilnitsky of the following content: "Such stupidity can be expected only from the Lomzhinsky point." According to the RO, the Germans at that time had 25-40 divisions. This standard figure has been featured in the intelligence reports of the department for more than a year ... Captain Kravtsov "

        In fact, in April there were only 47 German divisions on the entire Soviet-German border, including the territory of Finland. As of March 1941, there could be even less divisions. Captain Kravtsov, who writes the Memorandum, is sure that there were up to 100-108 German divisions. "

        - Yes, because he writes about the territory of ALL RUSSIA AND POLAND and not only about the border itself)))
        It seems Madame "historian" and she does not understand what facts she cites and whom she blames))))
        But this FACT confirms - CHANGE was happening in ZAPOVO - AT ALL fucking headquarters of Pavlov - where they were engaged in juggling data about the Germans - they lied that not the main forces of the Germans are concentrated against ZAPOVO !!! In order to please the General Staff of Zhukov, by the way, where they lied to Stalin that the main German forces they allegedly expected only against KOVO, and when the Germans crashed, they began to trend - we did not wait for such a blow north of Polesie and the intelligence was to blame))))))

        "The commander of PribOVO-NWF must bear greater responsibility than the NSh of the district."

        - so he attacked at NIGHT - when Klenov did not raise the district on alarm - he was in the troops and therefore got out))) evaded responsibility)))

        “Former NSh NWF Lieutenant-General Pyotr Semenovich Klenov acknowledged everything and did not“ drag away “his like-minded people and subordinates ... The kingdom of heaven, good man ...”

          ""
          On May 28, 1941, the Arnold resident arrived without a call. I drove out to meet him and asked him at the outpost why he had arrived ahead of schedule (his deadline was June 20). He replied that there was an important message, and reported the following:
          1. The Germans are preparing an offensive and in mid-June, a war will begin against the USSR. He managed to learn about the offensive from the Sikorsky intelligence center and some British intelligence officers, as well as from personal observation.
          2. The Germans concentrated from 1,5 to 2 million troops on the eastern front.
          3. In Prague, the training of White Guards saboteurs in the amount of 10 thousand people has been completed, which before the start and at the time of the war will be thrown out by small landing groups to blow up bridges, roads, [commit] terrorist acts and indicate targets for aviation, etc.
          4. The plan of the German attack: a decisive blow to Belarus and Minsk should be occupied on the 8th day, and Moscow on the 21st day.

          The resident indicated several airfields on which the planes arrived, and tanks and artillery were drawn to the border.
          When asked if this was panic, Arnold replied that he was responsible for this data with his head. ""

            Kravtsov directly shows - treason was in RO Zapovo ....

            "" After such a categorical statement, on the morning of May 28, I reported the contents of the Arnold report with the RO code and asked for permission to send Arnold to the RO.
            I received a response on May 29, in which I was ordered to deliver Arnold to Minsk by the evening of May 29, which I did. Blokhin talked with Arnold. Ilnitsky and Samoilovich, in conclusion, noted: "Lomzha always presents sensations, it would be better to give part numbers." Arnold was explicitly told that the material was implausible, and the invention of British intelligence. Arnold replied: “You can shoot me, but I answer for the credibility of the information with my head. I have fulfilled my duty to the Soviet state, and you may or may not believe me - your business. The war will begin in mid-June. "
            On June 4, I escorted him across the border, and the Arnold did not appear again.

            Could one believe Arnold? Based on the following data, he could be trusted.
            1. 2 months before the Germans occupied Romania, he predicted that the Germans would send their troops to Romania and that Romania would be occupied. He also said in a month and a half that the Germans were sending 12 infantry and 6 armored divisions to Yugoslavia and that Yugoslavia and Greece would be occupied in the near future.
            2. “Arnold” gave complete data on the presence of White Guard organizations, committees and military organizations.
            3. In support of his information on the deployment of military units, he brought documents - orders and photographs.
            4. According to him, the NKVD authorities arrested several German spies and saboteurs.
            Recently, he worked on a plan to open the White Guard Center in Vilna. The center was led by German intelligence and set out to raise an uprising in the Baltic states. The uprising was to be supported by the Prussian garrisons.
            5. The data of Arnold were cross-checked by several sources and confirmed. The RO of Western OBO knew this very well.

            After sending Arnold abroad on June 8 or 9, I was in Minsk in the RO. Lieutenant Colonel Ilnitsky asked: "Well, Arnold managed to leave, his war in Lomza did not catch him." I replied that he was sent abroad, and you know better about the war, but the situation on the border is restless. Ilnitsky smiled and said: "And you fell into the bait of British intelligence." I didn’t answer anything, and he went on to say that Arnold’s information was incorrect, that there was no evidence of preparations for the offensive. On the same day, I met Senior Lieutenant Chubakov from the Information Department, who told me: “For the first time, I see an agent like Arnold, a very capable and serious intelligence officer, but our authorities are afraid of bold information, and therefore any new message lingers for a long time in the department, and in the worst case, it’s not sent anywhere at all. "Arnold" data was edited 5 days, and then the emasculated report was sent to Moscow. " ""

              "" In early June, in areas of the 87th and 88th border ridges, sabotage groups of people with explosives began to be transferred. Each detained group was immediately reported to the RO with conclusions: since the enemy launched active reconnaissance, apparently, an offensive is being prepared. Arriving agents from abroad signaled an impending offensive. All this was timely reported to the RO. I don’t know what measures the department took, but I didn’t receive any special tasks, there weren’t any special orders even for active intelligence.
              .....

              3. RO work style before the war
              1. In 1941, very little foreign currency was released for undercover work. It came to the point that we were forced to buy zloty from the rural population - a trifle ¦ - in order to give 20 to 30 zloty to the agent sent. In 1940, more than 100 thousand zlotys were exchanged through an agent in a Warsaw bank through an agent, but these funds were withdrawn to the RO, and we found ourselves without funds. Capable agents left us because we could not provide them.
              In February 1941, a Schultz resident was sent with a radio station, and for 2 months he was given only 250 marks, during which time he was in debt and returned back to the USSR. The Glushko resident owed several hundred marks and, without paying the debt, returned to the USSR.
              2. In the department, all attention was focused on ensuring that each point sent intelligence reports daily.
              In April 1941, the deputy chief of the RO, Lieutenant Colonel Ivchenko, advised me not to send large summaries, but to break the agent data into several parts and send them to the RO every day in small parts. I objected to him, saying that this was fraud and I would not go for it. He answered me that the head of the Brest point, Major Romanov, did so and his point was in the first place. In my opinion, careerism, toadness, and not business work, flourished in the RO.

      I could not get ahead.
      The bottom line is that the General Staff in principle correctly assessed the readiness, or rather not the readiness of the Germans to start a war in 1941.
      And if so, to hell with BP, all the forces for reorganization, the creation of new structures (30 MK what are). And then, in the fall of 1941, to carry out large gatherings (and the hell would the Germans climbed out to fight the USSR for the winter), drive the MK out during exercises, and adjust the OSh.
      And by the spring of 1942 to have a more or less prepared army, with completely mobilized border military forces, and constant numerous gatherings in the internal.

      Further, assuming that the Germans were not ready for war, but could go on a provocation (to achieve some kind of concessions), he created a shock fist from MK (in the first operational one). That is, as at Khalkhin-gol, they’ll climb with a powerful fist, and then we will reconcile (for a while naturally).
      Zhukov always repeated methods that previously led to success. The fact that he was not able to calculate the changed conditions, well, such is Zhukov (his level) ..

      This seems to be possible to justify Zhukov, but the reorganization of the Red Army was carried out in a stupid manner, which destroyed all internal ties between formations and associations, and turned parts into weapons storage bases with constant work on the maintenance of equipment and weapons.
      And for this Zhukov must be fully responsible.

    The quality of work of the military district military district did not affect the quality of work of the RU of the General Staff of the Red Army in any way, since in its work at the strategic level it mainly used the data of foreign agents. This is even more true for the political leadership of the country, which also used data from foreign agents as part of foreign political intelligence - at that time, 1 GU NKGB of the USSR.

    In the first half of 1941, data from foreign agents on these two lines (at least) unequivocally testified to the systematic buildup of German troops on the Soviet border, a month before the attack, summary data from all sources unequivocally indicated the completion of the preparation of the attack on the USSR. Plus, the transfer to a military regime at the same time as Germany's railway transport.

    In other words, with the correct conclusion from the information received, it was the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the USSR Armed Forces, marshals and generals of NPOs who went to the fullest, and not the colonels and lieutenant colonels of the border military districts.

    PS And yes - an urgent wish to the author: to stop confusing the deployment of German invasion forces in the border zone (which was created a few days before the start of the war) with the deployment of the same forces in the border governor generals of Germany (which was opened by Soviet intelligence at all levels for several months before the start of the war).

        In the first half of 1941, VG and GSh went around:
        - in a general assessment of the intentions of the enemy (an attack on the USSR was expected in 1942);
        - in the deployment of the Red Army's available forces directly in the border zone without creating a solid defense line at a distance of 200-300 km from the new border (if there are engineer-trained positions on the old border);
        - in the strategic plan of the enemy (long preparation for an offensive within 1-2 weeks after the declaration of war with provoking attacks by small forces, in reality - a massive short-range strike in many directions at the same time);

            The completion of the mobilization of industry of the USSR and the transition to the production of only new weapons were planned for May 1942.
            The pace of formation of the mechanized corps was such that, at best, it would be completed in December 1941.
            The advance of the Red Army reserves from the rear military districts to create at least equal forces in the western direction began in June 1941. And if we take into account that a counterattack was planned for the war with "little blood on foreign territory," then the creation of the necessary triple superiority of forces over the Wehrmacht was obviously possible only in the spring of 1942.

    Some unhurried scenario of the expected military operations, do not you think? And the top leadership of the spacecraft believed that this is how events will occur during hostilities with German troops.

    So, based on your words, the leadership of the Red Army did not take into account the experience of the Wehrmacht’s military operations against Poland — you seem to be from advanced “military experts”.
    On the contrary, the old-fashioned plan provided for the so-called initial period of the war lasting 15-20 days from the start of hostilities until the main troops of the country entered the business, during which the troops of the echelons from border military units deployed along the borders should cover mobilization with their military operations. the concentration and deployment of the main forces of our troops.

    The point is not "the old fashioned way", but that based on these terms, the district’s mobile reserves are formed based on the fact that stocks of all types of weapons, ammunition, food, etc. It should be enough for this period, and how they will make up for losses later, it is not within the competence of the district, because the General Staff is engaged in this.
    It turns out that the RO Zapovo, unlike the RO PribOVO, managed to detect the exit of German troops from the depths of its territory to the border at the starting lines. RO ZAPOVO was also able to detect a sharp increase in the number of German units from 30 (appearing in intelligence reports for 1,5 months) to 49 by 20-00 on 21.6.41 ... But I did not manage to bring ZAPOVO to the leadership for various reasons ... On the document mark: "Sent June 22, 1941 at 15 hours 20 minutes." This information did not reach the beginning of the war before the leadership of ZAPOVO and PribOVO.

    Absolute nonsense - this report is reported by the NSh to the district commander immediately, and she was sent to the General Staff of the GSh, which is why the time of sending to Moscow, and not the time of her report to the district commander, is indicated.

      “So, based on your words, the leadership of the Red Army did not take into account the experience of the Wehrmacht’s combat operations against Poland — you seem to be from advanced military experts.”

      You seem ready to give out labels, do not think much? 3 part.
      In December 1940, a meeting of the senior commanders of the spacecraft was held in Moscow, where G. Zhukov with the report: "The nature of the modern offensive operation": "What is particularly instructive of the actions in the West?
      1. This is a bold and decisive use of [German] TD and MK in close cooperation with the Air Force throughout the depth of the enemy’s operational defense.
      2. Decisive strikes by the MK in the oncoming battle and their desire to bravely and independently break through to the rear of the operational grouping of the enemy.
      3. The massive use of parachute units and air divisions to capture the most important objects in the near and deep rear of the enemy, with the frequent use of these troops in the form of the enemy.
      4. During the breakthrough of the UR, the Germans paid special attention to the close cooperation of infantry, artillery, tanks, sappers and aviation.
      5. High rates of offensive operations. Poland ... the average daily advance of the Germans ... 30km. Holland, Belgium and Northern France - 20 km per day. Defeat of France - 16 km per day. At the same time, the effect of the MMC reached 100 — 120 km [the Guderian group went to a depth of 100 km — this stage lasted for the day 3-4 of the day from D. Pavlov's report].
      6. The offensive operation, as a rule, was preceded by the advance development of a powerful network of espionage agents and sabotage groups. This agents, as a rule, sat down closer to airfields, URs, the most important warehouses, railway bridges and other important objects.
      7. This is the ability of the Germans to organize the continuity of operations. The continuity of operations in all cases was ensured by: preliminary thorough preparation of the operation and the presence of a plan for the subsequent operation, powerful automobile transport and a well-developed network of railways providing extensive regroupings, troops and rear equipment, and the presence of layered reserves.
      Modern conditions are characterized by the presence of powerful technical means of struggle, allowing the upcoming:

Understands the place of parachute assault forces and enemy agents.

First of all, about the operational-strategic surprise with which Hitler's troops invaded the countries of Europe. Striking powerful blows with armored troops, they quickly cut through the defenses to reach the enemy’s rear. The actions of the armored forces the Germans supported the Air Force ...

    The quality of work of the military district military district did not affect the quality of work of the RU of the General Staff of the Red Army in any way, since in its work at the strategic level it mainly used the data of foreign agents.

    This was a strong juggle, if only because the OVNAZ district radio divisions could more accurately reveal not only the enemy’s border grouping, but they probably also revealed the passage of the Dortmund signal, which was reported to the General Staff, which is why they urgently convened a meeting on June 21 from Stalin . This is a very specific question, and you will never study it in the open archives of the Moscow Region, because the GRU will not allow anyone to access its archives.

But - Zhukov himself rehabilitated the Pavlovs, and therefore it was necessary either to slander Stalin who allegedly did not allow him to bring troops to the battlefield. and fool themselves to expose themselves in such a way and lie that they did not expect such an attack - or we would have to go to court ourselves (((

    Actually, the daily intelligence is prepared by the operational duty officer and submits it to the district intelligence chief for signature at a STRICTLY set time. It is not necessary to represent her to the deputy chief of intelligence, unless he has remained for the chief — this is an alphabet that you do not know, but undertake to discuss such a difficult issue.
    It is not known even when the school district has read the text of this particular report.

    In peacetime, the head of the district’s headquarters receives a reconnaissance report at a strictly defined time, because this document is generated on the basis of data submitted to the intelligence department by subordinate agencies and intelligence units by a certain date. During the war, these terms can be changed, but for this an order of the NS of the okrug (front) is needed at least, because the intelligence chief of the okrug (front) does not have the right to give orders to army chiefs of staff. Do you even understand this?

You should also be aware that the intelligence reports from the unions went several times a day and their head of the RO already reported to the Klimovskys. In addition, the deputy chief, who was responsible for the intelligence work, was literally choking on the flow of reports, which were also reported as the information was important (either in groups or most important, according to a specialist). Information is also reflected on the map. Border guards were also noted ... The NS district knew all the intelligence information, tried to report back to the commander of the troops and once the beginning of the General Staff. The problem was that focal concentrations of enemy troops near the initial positions were detected. Therefore, when, after 20-00, they got ready to prepare a summary (you are mistaken, daily intelligence reports began to be prepared only with 22.6.41), then neither the head of the PO, nor the Zapov National School was at its headquarters. Around 23-00, the Klimovskys tried again to report on the concentration of troops to Zhukov, but failed. Printed intelligence Klimovskiy saw and signed in the afternoon 22.6.41. Pavlov did not see the text of this report, this information after 23-00 turned out to be unclaimed ...

    Of course, the officers of the General Staff believed that the divisions in Brest would not sleep, and that part of the cover, at least by the beginning of the German attack, would be located not far from the positions assigned to them under the cover plan. That's why they hoped that on the first day the Germans would not be able to advance at a faster pace.

    Have fun, my dear! So you understand intelligence matters!

    I think that is better than you.

    I hope you know that NS ZAPOVO is directly the chief of the district RO head. You should also know that reconnaissance reports from associations went several times a day and their beginning was already reported by Klimovsky.

    What does this have to do with the fact that the DAILY reconnaissance is compiled for a specific hour? Only the operational duty officer decides which of the information received will go into the reconnaissance text, and that "will fly to the basket." You do not know this either, but you are already undertaking to teach me.

    In addition, the deputy chief, who was responsible for the intelligence work, was literally choked with the flow of reports, which were also reported as information was important (either by groups or the most important, according to the specialist). Information is also reflected on the map.

    You have no idea what the district intelligence kit is, how it functions, what tasks were assigned to the OCHNAZ radio division and to a separate radio unit of the special service, what information came from neighboring districts and the General Staff, who processed the air reconnaissance reports, but suddenly decided that intelligence work was a little perhaps not the most important, although from the point of view of obtaining operational information, the agent network is not always able to quickly organize the receipt of the NECESSARY information. So first, learn about this issue so that your opinion is taken seriously.

    The NSh of the district knew all the intelligence information, tried to report to the commander of the troops and once started the General Staff. The problem was that focal concentrations of enemy troops were found near the starting positions. Therefore, when after 20-00 they sat down to prepare a report (you are mistaken the daily reconnaissance reports began to be prepared only from 22.6.41), then by the end of the headquarters there were neither the beginning of the RO nor the NS ZAPOVO. Around 23-00 Klimovskikh tried once again to report on the concentration of troops to Zhukov, but unsuccessfully.

    By and large, it is the district’s chief of staff who needs intelligence most of all, because on its basis the operations department will receive instructions from him for developing operational plans. Your vision of the “problem” tells me that you have no idea how the district headquarters function, that’s why you are making ridiculous conclusions about secondary facts, giving them out almost as defining.
    By the way, daily intelligence is a mandatory element in the organization of duty in the RO district in peacetime - you are not in the subject here.
    Klimovskikh saw the printed intelligence report and signed it on the afternoon of 22.6.41.

    Yes, the chief of staff of the district does not sign the daily intelligence report - its chief of intelligence of the district signs. Only in those cases when he receives instructions from the chief of the General Staff to submit an extraordinary report, then he will personally sign a telegram or encryption.
    Pavlov did not see the text of this summary, this information after 23-00 turned out to be unclaimed ...
    And the report went right after the NS had time to sign it.

    So what about the fact that Pavlov did not see her - it is enough for him to call the chief of staff or give a telegram, and he will immediately be informed about everything that intelligence has at the moment. Pavlov can call the intelligence chief for a report - that’s all, so there’s no need to fantasize, everything is much simpler and worked out during the exercises. Moreover, the daily reconnaissance report must be submitted to the General Staff of the General Staff, and in some cases even before the NSh of the district sees it - this is determined by the chief of the General Staff.

    So, according to the cover plan, the border guards needed to hold out for 45 minutes before the arrival of the allocated detachments from the cover divisions - there was such a standard in the ZAPOVO. The trouble is that not in all sections of the state border the border guards arrived at the time indicated by the normative.

    You poorly studied the structure of military intelligence, which is why you don’t know that in intelligence at all levels, starting from the RU of the Red Army and ending with separate regional radio divisions, there were operational duty officers, because this was required for the operational control of reconnaissance forces and assets.
