Georgy Zhukov. "Father" of the Soviet victory - a mastermind behind the largest battles of WW2: Moscow, Stalingrad, Berlin... to name a few. Without a doubt, a military genius: he never lost a battle. But also known by his soldiers as a “Butcher”, for disregarding causalities and winning at any cost. Panzer, Victorious

07 Jan 42: The Soviet Army has driven the Germans far enough back that Moscow is no longer under threat, ending the 98-day Battle of Moscow and marking a major turning point in the war in the east. For a time, Moscow seemed to have been so close to falling to the Germans that Stalin's armored train was ready at the station to carry him east to safety. But the Soviets were aided in their efforts by extreme cold and poor weather, which minimized the Luftwaffe's operations. #WWII #History
