    Right, I waited long enough....my question.

    So, how many military awards were created by the Soviet government during the second world war (or great patriotic war) that bore the name of non-communist generals and what where they?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,335 ✭✭✭Éomer of Rohan


    COME ON MODS, WAKEY WAKEY, RISE AND SHINE.

    The awards were as follows;

    The Order of Field Marshall Kutuzov
    The Order of Field Marshall Suvorov.

    Next question, continuing in the field of WWII, what Army was General Chuikov in charge of?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,319 ✭✭✭sci0x


    The 62nd Army


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,335 ✭✭✭Éomer of Rohan


    That is correct because I did not specify as to what period I meant; though I was thinking of the 8th Army in the drive to Berlin which he took over command of.
