Betrayal of 1941: was it or not

276

In the first days of the war, from June 22, 1941, the shock offensive of the fascists tank wedges were directed at the armies of the 8th and 11th ("Betrayal 1941: the turmoil of the first days"), as well as on the 4th and 5th.

Are we trying to trace what happened to these armies in the future during the Great Patriotic War?



4th Army of the Western Front


The 4th Army of the Western Front was suddenly attacked by the Nazis near Brest.

In their own Brest barracks, German artillery shot at once 2 divisions of this 4th army. The fact is that in the Belarusian Military District, the leadership and commander of the army did not send them by order to summer camps.

However, this army, despite the losses from artillery fire, resisted. She threw herself into battles. Its mechanized corps participated in the counterstrike operation. The 4th Army retreated, gnawing into every meter of its native land.


An archival document (combat report), declassified by the Ministry of Defense in 2018, signed by Colonel Sandalov, is one of the true testimonies of the heroism of the soldiers and commanders of the Red Army of the Western Front, about which Hitler's "Barbarossa Plan" crashed into dust from the first days of the war. Source: june-22.mil.ru

Recall that on the old border in the Mozyr fortified area, one of the divisions of the 4th army defended and held positions almost until the end of August. The peculiarity of the Mozyr UR was that it consisted of underground fortresses - "mines", which have no analogues in Belarus. ("Mina" is a fire group of several pillboxes connected by underground passages). Some researchers report that it was in time for this division, which was defending far to the west, that small encircled groups made their way.

Some experts indicate that it was here that the headquarters of the 3rd Army broke through after the defeat.

There is a version that just on the basis of many groups that escaped into this area from the encirclement, on the basis of this headquarters and the same division of the 4th army, the 3rd army was revived again, which made up for the sunk.

In bureaucratic terms, this division has already been assigned to the 21st Army. But we only wanted to follow her path.

This is exactly the division that took on one of the main blows on the first day of the war. It was not only preserved, but on its basis the army was also restored, which had passed a long battle path.

And what was the fate of the remaining 4th Army?

Formally, July 24, 1941 was the last day of its existence.

But do not think, she was not defeated at all, and she did not surrender at all. It was simply reformed.

But before that, she fights, attacks, fights and tries to help the 13th Army units to get out of the ring.

To no avail. It used to be that in the dark, the infantrymen of this army would squeeze the enemy out of the village or settlement. And in the morning the Nazis push the fighters back to their former positions. After all, the Germans had and aviation, and artillery, and tanks. Here the front did not advance. But it took a long time to break through the corridor for the surrounded Red Army soldiers.

“The infantry made two or three transitions per day (sometimes the transitions were made at night, when the enemy stopped hostilities and was resting), went to the indicated lines, but did not have time to create a solid defense - the enemy was“ hanging on his shoulders ”, preempting our units at the expense of the best motorization.

The 4th army retreated in the direction of Kobrin, Baranovichi, Slutsk, Bobruisk.

The retreat of the army was accompanied by significant losses, but it managed to get out of the encirclement. "

Finally, the top management makes a compromise decision. At that time, only the army directorate and the headquarters units of the rifle corps alone remained from the 13th Army. And nothing else. And in the fourth army, four divisions fought at that time. Here they were given to the 13th Army. And it was decided to turn the headquarters of the former 4th Army into the headquarters of the Central Front. This is the kind of reform that has been carried out.

Thus, the interim conclusion for this army is as follows.

The 4th Army underwent one of the most brutal blows of the German invaders in the first days of the Great Patriotic War in the direction of Brest.

She led the defense of the border borders of the Soviet Union in a very important and difficult area. Varshavskoe highway led to Moscow - to the heart of the country. And this army initiated offensive battles and provided assistance to captured colleagues. So, of course, there is no talk here about any defeat or capture, and cannot be, in principle.

Moreover, it was these formations that turned into the very backbone, around which 2 armies were able to recover. And it so happened that the headquarters of this army was transformed and transformed into a larger formation and became the headquarters unit of the newly formed front.

In this regard, the combat path of the Chief of Staff of the 4th Army, Colonel (in the future, Colonel-General) Leonid Mikhailovich Sandalov (10.04.1900/23.10.1987/XNUMX - XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX) is interesting. He went through the war on the front line from the first to the last day as a Soviet military leader, and devoted the post-war years to the military stories.

Ex-Chief of Staff of the 4th Army L.M. Sandalov during the Moscow counteroffensive will already be at the post of chief of staff of the 20th Army (the corresponding directive of the Supreme Command Headquarters, signed by Stalin and Vasilevsky, was given on November 29, 1941). But in fact, it was he who would then lead the 20th Army (instead of actually withdrawing himself under the guise of illness of the commander Vlasov) and, among others, will drive the fascists away from the capital of our Motherland. Further, in August 1942, he also became a participant in the successful Pogorelo-Gorodishchenskaya operation. Then in November-December 1942 - Operation Mars. And so - until the Victory.

In 1989, the book by L.M. Sandalova "The first days of the war: Combat operations of the 4th army June 22 - July 10, 1941".

Betrayal of 1941: was it or not

Bone in the throat of the Nazis - 5th Army of the Southwestern Front


The 5th Army of the Southwestern Front was attacked by the enemy at the junction with the 6th Army.

Logically, it had to retreat, turning its front to the south.

The mechanized corps of this army in the Zhytomyr region of Ukraine near Novograd-Volynsky took part in the counterattack.

At the Sluch River, the Germans had to stand for a week without advance. At first, due to the desperate resistance of the Red Army soldiers, they could not break through the front of the 5th Army in any way.


A participant in those events, deputy chief of the operational department of the army, Aleksey Viktorovich Vladimirsky, in his book “On the Kiev direction. Based on the experience of conducting hostilities by the troops of the 5th Army of the Southwestern Front in June-September 1941 " (1989) writes:

“During its offensive, the 5th Army will have to fight with 6-8 enemy divisions. Therefore, it is necessary to speed up the transition to the offensive of the 5th Army in order to divert as much enemy forces as possible and to interrupt the main communication of the enemy, than to weaken his attack on Kiev.

Formations of the left wing of the 5th Army occupy an advantageous overhanging position in relation to the northern flank of the enemy, allowing without complex regroupings to approach the highway, attack the enemy's moving columns and intercept his main communication.
Link

With a tank wedge, the Nazis rushed to Kiev. The Germans tried to crash into the joint between the 5th and 6th armies. By that time, the 5th Army's front was facing south, stretching for three hundred kilometers. When the Germans did break through, the Red Army men launched a series of attacks on the flank, splitting this wedge. And they were even able to take control over the Kiev highway for some time. This delayed the advance of the enemy towards Kiev.

In addition, the fighters carried out a number of successful interceptions of enemy shells and communications. This led to a forced stop of enemy tank subunits in this direction. As a result, the Fritzes stalled at the Kiev fortified area, as they were literally left without shells. Isn't that a feat? To delay the advance of the enemy in a situation where there was simply no one to defend the ancient capital of Russia?

On the old border line in the Korosten UR, the army was entrenched. And the Germans had to deploy 11 of their divisions against it.

And this despite the fact that the Nazis sent only 190 divisions to the entire Soviet front. That is, this army alone took on 6% of the entire power of the fascist strike. And it didn't just break. On the contrary. For 35 days, this army carried out 150 strikes against the fascist invaders.

Just imagine that all this bulk was putting pressure on the one and only Soviet army number "five". And in the same period, the armies of the 19th, 20th, 21st, 37th, 38th and others were also sent to the front line from the rear of the USSR.

From the report of the command:

"The Military Council of the Army proudly reports that the 5th Army, despite the seriousness of the situation, as one person, is faithful to its duty, understands its historical role in the Great Patriotic War and will fight to the last fighter for the glory, honor and power of the Motherland."
Link

Cleverly using the underground structures of the fortified area, the soldiers secretly maneuvering in the Pripyat forests, crushed the enemy and instantly hid from the retaliatory fire of Hitler.

The artillery of the 5th Army was competently used. Her blows were very sensitive for the Nazis. There was enough ammunition. Unexpected fire was delivered both at the heaped location of the enemy and at motor transport convoys and supply stations.

It was hard for the Germans there. The Red Army men possessed warehouses in the UR weapons and ammunition. As well as stocks of spare parts, fuel, ammunition and food. There was no shortage of shells. Plus DotA. Although hardly used in mobile warfare.

When in 1943-1944. The Red Army will drive the enemy away from our land and return to this area already during its offensive operations, then it turns out that most of those killed in the first months of the war will be Germans in the trenches, struck down by artillery fire. In those days, the artillery of the 5th Army hit precisely the clusters of fascists and acted for sure - with precise aiming at the instructions of their reconnaissance and sabotage groups.

Definitely, the 5th Army became a bone in the throat of the Nazis from the first day of the war. The question of its immediate destruction among the Germans was literally equated in weight with the occupation of Donbass or the capture of Leningrad. Nothing less. This is how this army bit into the enemy.

In his very first directive on military operations on the Eastern Front (directive number 33 of 19.07.1941/XNUMX/XNUMX), Hitler points out:

"The enemy 5th Army must be quickly and decisively defeated."

But Hitler did not succeed quickly and decisively. And his next directive No. 34 of 30.07.41/XNUMX/XNUMX again prescribes to the German troops:

"5th Red Army ... to force into battle west of the Dnieper and destroy."

Two weeks pass and Hitler again irritably reminds his subordinates that:

"The 5th Russian army must be ... finally destroyed."

(Appendix to Directive No. 34 of August 12, 1941).

Finally, on August 21, Hitler again issues an order, in which he repeats three times the idea of ​​the need to destroy the 5th Army. But the main thing is that for the first time he is ready to allocate for this task

"As many divisions as necessary."
Link


In his book "General Staff during the War" (1968), General of the Army Sergei Matveyevich Shtemenko (1907 - 1976) recalls the following:

“The 5th Army, headed by Major General M.I. Potapov, firmly held Polesie and the area adjacent to it.

She becamewhat is called a thorn in the eye of Hitler's generals, put up strong resistance to the enemy and inflicted significant damage on him.

The German fascist troops could not quickly break through the front here. Potapov's divisions knocked them out of the road Lutsk - Rovno - Zhytomyr and forced them to abandon the immediate attack on Kiev.

Curious admissions of the enemy have survived.

On July 19, in Directive No. 33, Hitler stated that the advance of the northern flank of Army Group South was delayed by the fortifications of Kiev and the actions of the 5th Soviet Army.

On July 30, a categorical order followed from Berlin: “The 5th Red Army, fighting in a swampy area northwest of Kiev, should be forced to take a battle west of the Dnieper, during which it must be destroyed.

Timely to prevent the danger of its breakthrough through the Pripyat to the north ... "

And then again: "With the interception of the approach routes to Ovruch and Mozyr, the 5th Russian army must be completely destroyed."

Contrary to all these plans of the enemy, the troops of M.I. Potapov continued to fight heroically.

Hitler was furious.

On August 21, signed by him, a new document appears obliging the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces to ensure the commissioning of such forces of Army Group Center, which could destroy 5th Russian army ".
Link

Yes, this is our "fifth Russian army", in fact, among other things, forced the Nazis to suspend the offensive on Moscow. And even forced the fascists to deploy Guderian's tank army in a southern direction against the Kiev group of forces.

Even when the Fritzes launched a targeted offensive against the 5th Army on August 5, 1941, it still did not stop incessantly crushing the enemy with strikes on communications.

And with this very Hitlerite offensive, in general, there was an incident. Our team intercepted a packet with an order (directive) to start the attack on August 4. Exclusively thanks to the efforts of the Soviet reconnaissance and sabotage group. Only because of this, the date of the German offensive was then, in fact, disrupted. And therefore it began a day later.


And this army of ours was not smashed to smithereens. She only melted in battles, losing manpower.

Its legendary commander, General Mikhail Ivanovich Potapov, all this time sent dispatches to the front headquarters with a request for replenishment. And did not receive it. But, despite this, the 5th Army tore to pieces with its tenacious blows eleven full-fledged German divisions. At the same time, having at that time only about 300 active bayonets for 2400 kilometers of the front.

Note. The German infantry division had 14 men on its staff. 000 German divisions are almost 11 people. And this German armada was restrained by a Soviet formation 150 times smaller. And it didn't just hold back. And he led offensive battles that wore out the Nazis and for a long time became a bone in the throat of the fascist invaders.

Hack and predictor Aviator


As a result of the massive blow of the enemy forces of the army, which accounted for the lion's share of the attacks of the German troops in the first days of the war, not only were they not defeated, but on the contrary, they concentrated, opposed the many times superior enemy and demonstrated remarkable fortitude and ingenuity when they began to smash the Nazis, retreating ...

Therefore, the statement made by some experts that the Germans allegedly outnumbered the Red Army men in everything turned out to be incorrect. No, they didn't. In the ability to defend the Motherland and our motherland.

And although we were not strong at that time, our armies were powerful, as they say, with a special skill of the spirit. By the strength of the spirit. And the quality of this spirit.

This is the quality of the Russian armies (as they were called then) and this quality of the spirit of the Soviet soldiers came as a complete surprise to the enemy. And it was precisely this qualitative advantage that even then, in those first days and months of the Great Patriotic War, became the leaven of our future Great Victory.

In the next part, we will consider different versions of military historians about who, how and why surrendered at the initial stage of the war.

    In their own Brest barracks, German artillery shot at once 2 divisions of this 4th army.
    Now I am rereading a wonderful book by Rostislav Aliyev "Storming the Brest Fortress". I recommend it to everyone, especially the author.

    It's not funny anymore...
    And this army initiated offensive battles and assisted captured colleagues.
    It used to be that in the dark, the infantrymen of this army would squeeze the enemy out of the village or settlement. And in the morning the Nazis push the fighters back to their former positions. After all, the Germans had aviation, and artillery, and tanks.
    In addition, the fighters carried out a number of successful intercepting enemy shells

    Ours intercepted a packet with an order (directive) about start of the attack on August 4th.

    but our armies were powerful, as they say, with a special skill spirit... By force spirit... And the quality of this spirit... This is the quality of the Russian armies (as they were called then) and this quality spirit Soviet fighters came as a complete surprise to the enemy.

      I will subscribe to your every word, you practically went through the entire article, I can only note one more absurdity issued by the author.

      When in 1943-1944. The Red Army will drive the enemy away from our land and return to this area already during its offensive operations, then it turns out that most of those killed in the first months of the war will be Germans in the trenches, slain by artillery fire.


      According to the author, after 2 - 3 years of war, on the territory they occupied, the Germans did not manage to bury their fallen soldiers? Complete nonsense.
      But what about this?




      No, but considering this is a pearl "In addition, the fighters carried out a number of successful interceptions of enemy shells" what kind of serious attitude to the article in general can we talk about.

        Well, yes, it's tempting to ask, what exactly were the Germans doing in the trenches in the first months of the war? Jomnip the first months of the Wehrmacht to dig in was simply not when, and not why. The Wehrmacht at that time had other problems, how the infantry did not lag far behind the tanks and how the rear areas had time to provide the forward units with everything they needed.

              Read Shumilin "Vanka-Rotny". He writes constantly about trench warfare since July 41. It takes half an hour to dig a trench. We must somehow hide from the artillery. And the Germans drove the peasants to dig trenches. Another thing is that the Germans did not stay there for long.

        Good morning Constantine hi
        Good morning, Vladimir hi
        Article - just no words belay
        And to write about the 5th Army in the June battles of 1941, and not to mention this episode, can only be explained by the complete lack of ownership of the topic, and by cutting your article from other people's materials
        On June 22, near Lutsk, the 14st anti-tank artillery brigade of the 1th Army of Major General Kirill Moskalenko, the future Marshal, became an insurmountable obstacle for the 5th Panzer Division of the Wehrmacht. When the general saw the enemy tanks for the first time, he at first doubted whether it was our division that was making a maneuver. But the crosses on the towers left no doubt. The crews of 76-mm guns and 85-mm anti-aircraft guns had to hastily prepare positions. Soon a battle, unique in military history, began - a tank division against an artillery brigade ... and no infantry.
        The tanks deployed in battle formation attacked the gunners on the move, trying to break through their defenses. Several times the equipment burst into combat positions, crushing the crews and servants, but each time the enemy was thrown back. By evening, 70 tanks, armored vehicles and other equipment were burning on the battlefield. The Germans rolled back, but the brigade also suffered losses - four artillery batteries: 16 guns, along with the personnel, remained forever in their broken positions.

        It was on this occasion that the Hitler directive No. 33 of 19.07.41/XNUMX/XNUMX, mentioned by the author, appeared.
        This is how the soldiers and commanders of the Red Army fought on June 22, 1941. It was thanks to them that by August Hitler's headquarters began to understand that the Barbarossa plan had been thwarted. From a victorious all-crushing march to the Urals, the Eastern campaign, contrary to vain plans, turned into a protracted bloody meat grinder, the outcome of which at that time was unpredictable.

          When I read the memoirs of German generals, you can see that many of them already in July-August began to understand that they would no longer win this war.

                From the testimony of captured German tank crews of the 14th TD, delivered after the battle at the Moskalenko command post, it turned out that the brigade was on the way of the offensive of the 13th and 14th Panzer Divisions of the von Kleist Panzer Group, supported by the infantry and artillery of the 298th Infantry Division. It's like that. The prisoners did not lie Yes So what of this?
                Does this prove the participation of the 13th TD and 298th Infantry Division in the daytime battle? Please provide at least one document confirming this
                And here is what Marshal Moskalenko writes in his memoirs "In the South-West direction. Memoirs of the commander. Book I". - M .: Nauka, 1969:
                "The enemy's 298th Infantry Division was behind the left flank of the brigade, completing a flank coverage of the brigade, which it was able to complete only by the morning of June 24, and the 13th TD of the Wehrmacht on June 22 had just begun to cross the Bug. The 14td did not have any freedom of maneuver and could attack our line is only in the forehead. "

                It is this fight that is described. Let's continue reading further:
                “On the night of June 23, reconnaissance reported that German tanks and motorized infantry had deeply bypassed the left flank of the brigade. There was no connection with the headquarters of the 5th Army and the front headquarters. To avoid encirclement, he ordered the brigade to be withdrawn to the northeast. By morning, the rearguard had taken up a strong defensive position. on the western outskirts of Zaturts. "

                  and I didn’t say anything about 13 td.
                  According to German data, the 14th TD on June 22.06, after crossing the Bug, entered into a clash only once - with the forces of the 40th reconnaissance battalion. There is no information about any frontal attacks by the forces of the entire division. The 525th Regiment of the 298th Infantry Division was ordered to continue the offensive at 17.00 after it did not wait for the 191st Assault Gun Battalion to approach due to fuel problems.

Then another comes forward: "Well, well, they quickly sawed off their right hind leg and gave it to women and children! And now they tore off the trunk and gave it to the old people!" This is how political officers appeared.
                        They fried the primitive mammoths, ate from the belly, but half of the mammoths still remained. We decided to leave for tomorrow and went to bed. We woke up, but the mammoth was gone! This is how ensigns appeared.

        Unfortunately, the author each time increases his personal "anti-rating". From article to article. I really want the editors to pay attention to the critical remarks in the comments and draw the appropriate conclusions. Or maybe it's worth going back to the practice of evaluating articles?

        The author even they do not know about the offensive near Moscow in December 1941 d, when the enemy was driven back to 200 km.

        Now I’ll add this. The author, of course, did not read Soviet newspapers for all 1418 days of the war (and nafig?) And did not subscribe to the data of the Soviet Information Bureau about the destroyed German tanks by day. And then he did not compare with the data of our losses. So, in order not to torture people with numbers, I will write briefly that according to the Sovinformburo (and it made no sense for him to underestimate the German losses, rather the opposite), in comparison with the official data on our losses, only in 1944 we knocked out more tanks from the Germans than lost theirs! And if our tanks were better than the German ones, and the spirit was high, then ... how could it be? What was missing if we had more of them. There are more tanks, the spirit is higher, the quality (the T-34 is the best in the world), and the losses ... are higher than those of the Germans and decently higher. How to explain? All the calculations, by the way, are on the Web, and here on VO there was my article about losses in tanks ... And there is a book: "Tanks of the era of total wars 1914 - 1945" p. 318.

            Good morning, Constantine. So Stalin, in his speech in the Kremlin on November 29, speaking, also said that ... the Germans have an advantage in tanks and their infantry does not advance without the support of tanks. The only question is where the 20 thousand that were already there and the 1856 new T-34 and KV, about which in all the books it is written that the first was equal to 8, and the second 10 to German tanks. That is, purely mathematically, they alone would have been enough to kill all 4500 invasion tanks. Oh, out of 20 thousand, only 15 were in the ranks ... Well, to ram, for the Motherland, for Stalin, three tanks for one, including T-1 and T-2 and ... all the Germans without tanks! But somehow it didn't work out that way.

              Some statistics on the T-34:
              On 22.06.1941/935/34, the troops had 01.08.1941 T-526s. By 34/XNUMX/XNUMX, another XNUMX T-XNUMXs were received.
              And in service as of 01.08.1941/158/34 there were only ... 90 T-50: 18 in the Western direction, 34 - in the South-West, XNUMX - in the South. The T-XNUMX had no northwestern direction at all.
              Plus, another 66 T-34s were sent to the remanufacturing facilities.
              A 1303 T-34 was irrevocable.
              The numbers of losses look staggering - in less than a month and a half of the war, Soviet troops lost about 70% of the total number of "thirty-fours" lost in 1941 (1843 vehicles).

            So the Germans had a rod - touched a broken tank, here's a tank and a new one laughing In general, according to the Reports, we destroyed the entire German army (with equipment) during the war 2 times, and the Germans already destroyed our army 3 times. The preponderance is behind them. They knew Suvorov's statement - write more than count them. I'm not sure exactly, but attributed to Suvorov.

            Sergey! There is a certain form or technology, shall we say, of writing any text. The process begins with the study of historiography. That is, who did what before me. For example, I always look at who wrote what on VO about what I want to write about. What kind of photos he used. Then we look who wrote what. We note the inconsistencies. We turn, if possible, to the documents of the archives. And only after having processed all this - we sit down to write. Using the deep immersion method, you can prepare almost any topic in ... 2 months. Superficially ... in a day. But at the same time it is necessary, again, to have the best practices in historiography. Right now, for example, I am reading "A Short Course in the History of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks)" with a pencil in my hands. Very interesting. And the topics of the articles jump right into the hands ... And so Irina can also be recommended ... read the TRUTH for 1418 days of war, go to the local archive ... Or OK KPSS. For example, consider the topic: "Marriage in industry during the Second World War according to the materials of party commissions ....". A lot of things are possible. And without any ... nonsense.

          Paragraph A. "The artillery of the 5th Army did not experience difficulties with shells .... Later, in 1943-44, during the offensive operations of the Red Army, it was revealed that 2/3 of the corpses of German soldiers had traces of destruction by artillery fire. So after all, these were soldiers in the trenches. And the artillery of the 5th Army, acting according to the data of the reconnaissance and sabotage groups, struck at the concentration of troops. "

          Became after "literary processing".
          The paragraph is full ... "There was no shortage of shells .... When in 1943-1944 the Red Army chases the enemy away from our land and returns to this area already in the course of its offensive operations, it turns out that most of the dead in the first months of war - it will be the Germans in the trenches, struck down by artillery fire. In those days, the artillery of the 5th Army hit precisely the clusters of fascists and acted for sure - with precise aiming at the instructions of their reconnaissance and sabotage groups. "

            The author has little command of military terminology. She could easily confuse the "accumulation of troops" on the road with "dense defensive formations." For some reason I believe that heavy artillery could mix a battalion or two with the ground so that there is no one to bury.

            But there is a title:

            "Betrayal 1941: Was It or Not"


            The fact that the offensive of Hitler's troops was to begin any minute was known to the entire army, and not only to Stalin. Therefore, back on June 18, 1941, Stalin gave the order to bring the troops of the first strategic echelon into full combat readiness. It is believed that the General Staff immediately transmitted the Stalinist directive to the troops, but for some reason it was not implemented in those border districts that were hit by the enemy's main blow.
            This was directive number 1 - about which little was known for a long time. So, the directive, signed by Stalin back on June 18, came to the military districts only on the night of June 22, and at the same time it clearly stated: "Be in full combat readiness." That is, not to bring the troops into full combat readiness - you can lead them as long as you like, but immediately be in full combat readiness. And this order was given in advance. In fact, 4 days before the start of the war. So I have a question: did they carry those sealed directive packets on the carts?

        1. It was:
        "Against the 5th army, which was caught in the Korosten fortified area on the old border, the Germans were forced to deploy 11 divisions. They had 190 divisions on the entire Soviet front. So, every 1/17 of the entire Wehrmacht was turned against the only 5th army in the very time when Soviet armies with numbers 19, 20, 21, ... 37, 38 arrived at the front from the depths of the country ... Within 35 days, the army dealt 150 blows to the Germans. unexpected places, crushed the enemy, and then they themselves escaped from the blows of the Germans. "

        After:
        “On the old border line in Korosten UR, the army was entrenched. And the Germans had to deploy 11 of their divisions against it.
        And this despite the fact that the Nazis sent only 190 divisions to the entire Soviet front. That is, this army alone took on 6% of the entire power of the fascist strike. And it didn't just break. On the contrary. For 35 days, this army carried out 150 strikes against the fascist invaders.
        Just imagine that all this bulk was putting pressure on the one and only Soviet army number "five". And in the same period, the armies of the 19th, 20th, 21st, 37th, 38th and others were also sent to the front line from the rear of the USSR.
        Cleverly using the underground structures of the fortified area, the soldiers secretly maneuvering in the Pripyat forests, crushed the enemy and instantly hid from the retaliatory fire of Hitler. "

        The opinion of S.G. Pokrovsky on the problem of 1941 has been discussed by historians more than once. From different sides. Stanislav Georgievich died in 2012 and just out of respect for his memory, we could be told who the real author is. And not to engage in mediocre retelling, poorly understanding what S.G.

    But Budyonny was dismissed ... Kirponos assured Stalin that Kiev would be held, and as a result, a reassessment of its capabilities and a large-scale tragedy with the encirclement and complete defeat of the above armies ... were captured.

      - But what about Kiev? - Stalin asked
      I understood what the two words meant: "Surrender Kiev" for all Soviet people and for JV Stalin. But I could not succumb to feelings, and as a military man was obliged to offer the only possible solution, in my opinion "(" Memories and Reflections "), it was July 29, 1941

      In response to this proposal, the Headquarters indicated that in the event of withdrawal, the army would be defeated on the march. For in 1941 even the German infantry formations had greater mobility than our infantry units.
      The scenario is standard: the Germans, having detected the withdrawal of the main forces, shoot down our rearguard barriers and with motorized advance groups of infantry divisions (based on the reconnaissance battalion and a motorized anti-tank battalion) bypass our infantry and capture key points (bridges and communication centers). After that, our rifle divisions are pushed to natural obstacles (rivers) and either are destroyed or force the rivers with the loss of all transport and heavy weapons.

      - Honor battles, girls!
      - What, boyarynya!
      - Here you are, you bitch! Here! How many fights, master?

      - A little erepenes ... It must be not sad at the cha, Daria?
      - Already kudy sadche - look if it is.
      - Let me myself - the business is familiar!
      The voivode took a new bunch of rods from the girl, shook it in his hand, grunted and, hitting, pulled on himself.
      - A-ah! Ltd! - howled the beaten.
      - Well, Petrovich, you beat me sadche!
      - No, not yet ... here! and here!
      The voivode whipped and tugged at each blow.
      - There is a saddle, the bitch's ass is tight.

          “... as early as June 18, 1941, Stalin gave the order to bring the troops of the first strategic echelon to full combat readiness. the main blow of the enemy.
          This was directive number 1 - about which little was known for a long time.
          So, the directive, signed by Stalin back on June 18, came to the military districts only on the night of June 22, and at the same time it clearly stated: "Be in full combat readiness." That is, not to bring the troops into full combat readiness - you can lead them as long as you like, but immediately be in full combat readiness. And this order was given in advance. In fact, 4 days before the start of the war. So I have a question: were they carrying those sealed directive packets on the carts? "
          Stalin's directive N2 was and is widely known. And directive N1 is becoming known only now. That is, the marshals kept the directive, and only when it became known exactly when the hostilities would begin, in order to save their skins, they urgently facilitated the delivery of the directive to their destination, literally an hour before the war. In order to say on occasion, what are we, and we are nothing, we are not to blame.

            On June 18, the Supreme Command Headquarters did not exist. Until June 23, 1941, there was a GVS KA - the Main Military Council of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army, which had nothing to do with Directive No. 1 of June 21, 1941, it was prepared by the General Staff in the person of its chief, G.K. Zhukov and prepared it on June 21st. The document of June 18, which you mention, is not Directive No. 1, but a telegram from the General Staff on bringing the troops of the border districts to combat readiness (Great Patriotic War 1941-1945. M .: Voenizdat, 2011. Vol. 1. - P . 26). But unlike Directive No. 1, the original of which is kept in TsAMO, no one has ever seen the original of this directive and its existence, although very likely, is determined by indirect signs.
            А directive N1 becomes known only now.
            You are greatly mistaken. To be convinced of this, it is enough to read "Memoirs and Reflections" by Zhukov.

              It, of course, Zhukov wrote an amusing memoir, but for some reason their beginning is very reminiscent of the end of Manstein's memoirs - what he would have done. if he had additional forces and means.

                  My friend's father, who started the war in the Baltic States, said that a couple of days before June 22, 1941, they were taken to the camps from the PPD, their unit met the German attack in ready trenches. To the south of Pavlov's area of ​​responsibility, there were also no such failures as in Belarus. So there was an order. And only in Belarus, for some reason, the division ended up in the Brest Fortress, and not at least in the camps. There was no such failure anywhere else. About the documents. In the 90s there was such a public figure - Viktor Imantovich Alksnis, the grandson of the repressed aviation commander. He wrote that at the end of the 80s he took in the archives of his grandfather's file. It was with the sheets removed. When he again decided to familiarize himself with this case in the mid-90s, for some reason it became even thinner than it was before. An example, of course, not entirely on the topic, but, I believe, by the mid-50s, many military and political leaders were tempted to clean up their biography. And they cleaned it out.

                    But north of Pavlov's area of ​​responsibility, the failure was even steeper - despite the early withdrawal of troops from the PPD. Let me remind you that already on July 3, the Germans passed through the PribOVO and reached the old border. On July 4, the Ostrovsky UR was broken through and the city of Ostrov was occupied. By July 11, the fighting was already on the Luga line - on the distant approaches to Leningrad.

                      Nevertheless, the boiler, as in Belarus, was not there. And if our troops were withdrawn from the Brest Fortress, and not blocked there, it is unlikely that by June 28 the Germans would have been in Minsk. It was impossible to withstand the blow of trained and well-trained Germans at that moment, even on the Kursk Bulge, after 2 years. still had to retreat somewhat.

              I do not insist that the topic is presented in a quality manner, those present know better. I just use open source. This is what the historian and analyst A.I. Fursov:

              “In books on the history of the Great Patriotic War there is a photograph of directive number two, but directive number one for some reason is not. Directive number one is a directive in which Stalin explains to the leadership what to do. Strangely, this directive does not exist at all. Why not? The fact is that our large military leaders later justified their actions by the fact that Stalin, allegedly, had forbidden to return fire on the Germans if they invaded. That is why they behaved this way "...
              Not surprisingly, many supported the anti-Stalinist campaign after his death. There was something to be afraid of ...
              End of quote.

              Hence it follows that I have no reason to trust, say, Zhukov in this matter. Indeed, throughout my life, the topic has been discussed that Stalin was afraid that he was stunned by Hitler's treachery, that he closed for two weeks, etc. Probably, he was stunned - by the betrayal of his military leaders from the secret followers of Tukhachevsky. Although, of course, I suspected that there were such. But he had no others! And I had to urgently develop a different plan for running the company these weeks. With Pavlov, for example, he began to deal with after the war, but during the time - there was no time. And after that it was not really worth it. A victorious country shouldn't lose face.

                Lyudmila Yakovlevna, you are not consistent. On the one hand, you write that "apparently, a serious, respected Author should start talking about him," and right there you refer to Mr. Fursov, who does not fit into this category in any way.
                His "quote" given by you does not correspond to reality from the word at all.
                Hence it follows that I have no reason to trust, say, Zhukov in this matter.
                I see no logic in this statement. In what way do you not trust Zhukov, that on 21.06.1941/1/XNUMX Directive No. XNUMX was drawn up? And at the same time believe Fursov that she was hidden? Pure oxymoron.
                Each question should be covered by a specialist knowledgeable in this matter. And when someone Fursov talks about the fact that in the Directive, drawn up a few hours before the start of the German attack, “Stalin explains to the leadership what to do,” this only says that he does not understand what he is talking about.

                  The directive, or telegram, as it will later be called (by the way, the document is huge!), Was drawn up following the results of the final massive air reconnaissance with the participation of border guards on June 18, and not a few hours before the start of the fighting, and by the evening went to the troops.
                  Later, at the trial, the former commander of the Western Front, General Pavlov, and his chief of staff confirmed that on June 18, the General Staff's directive was adopted, but they did nothing to fulfill it. The chief of communications of the district through which the directive went, confirmed receipt of the directive by Pavlov. But the document, I repeat, not only was not accepted for execution by Pavlov, but, surprisingly, subsequently, it was not possible to find that paper. Of course, somewhere the entire document was preserved, but in preparation for the XX Congress, all copies of it that came to hand were destroyed, they say, they did not stand - to denigrate Stalin.

                    Moreover, the passage of such an important telegram did not leave any traces in the army document circulation at all. Did the marshals really hide everything so carefully?

It's just that you are repeating stories about hidden and destroyed documents again, without knowing how much circumstantial evidence they have. It is practically impossible to remove a document from the archives without leaving a trace of it. By the way, this is the basis for most of the constructions of alternatives and ... ignoramuses.

                There is nothing strange in this, because Directive No. 1, according to the accepted procedure in office work, was to be issued in January (at the latest in February) of 1941, and if desired, it can be found by this ordinal number. Everything that they write about Directive No. 1 sent to the districts at 23.45 on June 21, 1941, it did not have a number and went like b / n, i.e. without a number, and this is clearly visible on its text, which is in the archive. Later, in order to streamline the numbering of documents of the beginning of the war, it was assigned number one, as the first document of wartime, although in fact it was the last directive w / n of June 21, i.e. peacetime document.
                In general, this does not introduce much confusion, which is why both names of this Directive are used.

    It turned out that the statement made by some experts that the Germans allegedly outnumbered the Red Army men in everything turned out to be incorrect. No, they did not surpass

    I read the memoirs of one of the signalmen from the Western Military District. He was just saying that the Germans in the tactical training of the infantry turned out to be outright better than the ordinary Red Army men. In particular, he says that his communications platoon defended itself in a bunker (!) Against only 3 Germans, but the Germans took him by a frontal assault and, as this veteran says, “we could not do anything about it, the Germans were very skillful and knocked out us from the bunker ".
    I repeat for those who did not understand, only 3 Germans successfully navigated the armed platoon, which was in a long-term fortification, head on. And this is far from an isolated episode.
    Therefore, I would warn would-be scribblers against strange statements. Maybe morally we were even stronger, but the training and preparation of the Wehrmacht in the summer of 41 could not overpower it. And this factor, until the beginning of 43, constantly manifested itself in battles - only by 43 the general level of training of the troops leveled off - many experienced soldiers were knocked out in the Wehrmacht, and our troops, on the contrary, retained quite a few battle veterans in their ranks. And in 44, in general, our troops were already significantly superior in training, quality of soldiers and skill, and so much so that they managed to successfully advance, having half the strength and, in fact, the situation repeated in 41 years, only the other way around. My grandfather said that the German was no longer "the same".
    And, curiously, even these, already badly battered and weakened Germans, hammered the allies in the tail and mane, if they were even close in strength.

            But urya-posters and slogans that we will win by one will, having 3 million personnel, highly limited combat-ready and less trained divisions divided into 3.4 lines against 8 million Wehrmacht + allies (out of 11 available), look simply ridiculous. There were more Germans, they effectively concentrated their forces due to significantly better logistics, achieving 10-20 times the advantage at the necessary points, they were better trained. It was this, and not "betrayal", that caused the defeat of the Red Army on the border.
            I stopped reading books in the style of "urya" at the age of 8 - I realized that this was nonsense. It is strange that you are drowning for such a story. The situation in the quality of training of soldiers on both sides was very clear in the battles near Rzhev. There, heavy fighting, losses and the sending of reinforcements often changed the course of battles and the ratio of losses. Read the reports on both sides to make it clear what I mean.

                    capitulatory sadness.

                    stop talking nonsense. not to admit that the Germans, after 6 months of study, 2 years of wars in Europe, were able to do something - that's real nonsense.
                    And about our troops - well, read the official reports at least about discipline and how many of these soldiers were "repressed" specifically in the West Military District.
                    Read Shaposhnikov's note on the implementation of strategic defense orders in 40. None were even half completed. In the Western Military District, systematic reporting fraud and complete tin were generally revealed, not only with massive non-observance of orders, but with banal execution of the charter in units. For which, in the end, in aggregate, Pavlov was executed, and not for the dibious version of "coward" or "retreated." Just as the commander, Pavlov in the early days was far from the last.
                    Do you think they are all capitulators?
                    Truth is objectivity. In June 41 For 1 soldier of the Wehrmacht there were 3-4 times more trucks, 2.5 times more horses than a soldier of the Red Army. Our artillery tractors drove 5-8 km / h (a vicious practice in the production of universal equipment), the German ones could 25-30. This is what logistics is. This is also your defeatist statistics ???? There are objective things, and there are subjective ones. Memories are subjective, but in the bulk of these messages, if you throw aside the frankly bravura and negative, somewhere you can find the middle. In the end, my grandfather in the infantry went through the whole war, he didn’t speak about the Germans as cheerfully as you did - he respected their ability to fight, which is probably why he survived himself.
                    And you ... should go to Donbass as a volunteer in order to get rid of the desire to impose an ideological hat-making crap on other people.

      memoirs of one of the signalmen from the Western Military District.

In particular, he says that his communications platoon defended in a bunker (!) Against only 3 Germans, but the Germans took him by a frontal assault

      "ZVO" - I suppose it's the Western Military District? It's good that it's not Zabaikalsky .... So that's the question; What did the "signalmen from ZVO" and EVEN THE WHOLE PLANT (!!!) COMMUNICATION do in the bunker? Did they lay a new line?

    As a result of the massive attack of the enemy forces of the army, which accounted for the lion's share of the attacks of the German troops in the first days of the war, not only were they not defeated

    Not a single army, corps, division, which had the spearhead of the main attack, were destroyed. They suffered losses in men and equipment, but were not defeated. The troops were destroyed, which were on the sidelines of the main attack of the Germans. They were enveloped in ticks, there was no order to withdraw, the troops were surrounded and completely destroyed. Oddly enough, for a military unit to survive meant taking on the main blow of the Germans.

    Didn't even read! Because it's elementary simple! We were defeated in 1941-42, because we DIDN'T KNOW TO Fight!
    A good example is the Battle of Kursk. Soldiers under fire, generals with war experience, significant superiority in manpower, tanks, artillery, etc. For several months they dug in, EVERYTHING mined, created several lines of defense, ammunition, food, fuels and lubricants, everything was in abundance. But the Germans hit and barely resisted! BY THE LAWS of war, the attacking side should have superiority, and the Germans attacked in smaller numbers.
    The situation is absolutely the same with the economy today! For twenty years, we have just bubbled up snot, but there's no sense in it! In 2000, Russia was economically stronger than China, and over the past twenty years, China has become SUPERPOWER already surpassing the United States, and this president and I, apart from blowing snot bubbles, can do nothing!

      from the RKKA - 780 thousand according to German data. No army in the world ever does such a foolish thing as "attack in fewer numbers."

      Probably because the society of the descendants of serfs has exhausted its resources.

    The article does not answer any questions, especially the one asked in the title. VO is degrading at a breakneck speed. For several days on the portal there is almost nothing to comment on ...
    My personal opinion on the topic, and not on a meaningless article, is the following. I believe that Stalin deliberately set himself up and set up the country. There was no exit. If the Red Army had put up really effective resistance to the Germans in 41, then Hitler would have got into direct allies not a half-dead brothel in the form of France and other Euro-dwarfs, but the United States and, indeed, England, with which he practically reached an agreement.
    However, frightened by an easy victory for Germany, which seemed to have already been achieved, the Anglo-Saxons decided otherwise. They needed Hitler's victory. But Germany had to be drained of blood for many decades. Therefore, military alliances have developed the way they did.
    The Germans already received extensive raw material and technological assistance from the United States. If they received it openly and in much larger volumes, and we did not, the USSR would not have resisted for anything. No amount of heroism could compensate for the "endless bullets" that the Reich would receive.
    And therefore, Stalin was clearly going to create the impression of weakness in the first weeks of the War, to lure the enemy deeper ... At the same time, he clearly did not realize the real weakness of the Red Army. Not being a military expert himself, Stalin relied on experts in such matters. And he had experts, alas, not one of the strongest ...

I don’t know if you can read (it’s unlikely), in general, everything is as it was then. People in the country were divided into different kinds of "groups". Well, this is how the party fighters and, unfortunately, the law enforcement agencies saw it. In principle, people were not even judged, they were simply identified by belonging to some group, and treated accordingly. Here he is, for example, a Trotskyist. While Trotsky was in power - double rations and a high position in the navy. Trotsky is gone - removal from office, investigation, camp or execution. Well, the rest of the groups are the same. The governing bodies of the party decide that Zinoviev is an enemy (he was an enemy, as I understand it), and all people identified as "Zinovievites" are repressed without looking at anything else. The Zinovievites, why should I feel sorry for them ?!
          If I am not an enthusiastic Stalinist, then I am a liberal. So that is all. Sorry guys. I belong to the party of reality. Therefore, we hate all your groups at the same time. Because your groupthink does not accept any reality in any form. You are trying to understand life from the point of view of complete approval of the doctrines of your group, and the most severe condemnation of all other groups, this is the main and main thing for you.

          You understand nothing, absolutely nothing in reality, and you have no chance to understand at least something. Since reality does not care what kind of groups you are stuck in here. It happens as it happens, and in order to understand the phenomenon, it must be considered completely anew each time, without looking at any previous sympathies, antipathies, convictions, friendship and enmity. Objectively.
          But you are not looking for objectivity, you are looking for "like-minded people". You don't really care if you think right with them or not. You want to be together. Nice approach for a cactus lovers club. In life, it leads to disaster, the USSR will confirm.

    For the author! The convoy battalion of the NKVD fought to the end in the Brest Fortress!
    The entire main body of the divisions captured by the Austrians in the first days of the war was in fact disbanded to their homes!
    And the escorts, taking the Austrians prisoner, out of habit, immediately leaned them against the wall. That, as it were, the issue of captivity was immediately canceled.
    For the 5th army! The Korosten UR was not fully occupied by the army!
    70 percent of the pillboxes were destroyed by their own troops during the retreat! On those where the troops managed to occupy and gain a foothold, the battles went on for up to 2 months!
    And yet there, in the forests of the still buried mountain weapons! In boxes and grease.
    After rolling back beyond the Desna, the Germans, having received a lesson in actions in a wooded area, the army was still defeated.
    P.S. In 2001, veterans of the 5th Army and Doyches who fought in those places in 41 were gathered near Korosten. We took them to the places of the battles. And already at a wide table they asked the Germans what has changed over so many years?

A very good description of the fights and inner mood without any unnecessary tinsel. In particular, the tanker assesses the combat capabilities of BT and T3. As equals. On seven of ours, five of them are lost. If T34 was present, then the battle was obviously a win in our favor. In such cases, the Germans called in aviation and this decided the outcome of the battle. We had problems with aviation and there was nothing to fight back with an attack aircraft.
