ethical decision affects me and how I avoid ethical dilemma of uncertainty. MP1: On July 28 1942 Stalin issued Order #227. It was not in the newspapers and it was not released to the general public. But it was read to every soldier and officer in the Red Army. The order began by admitting losses of the territory and lives. It said that the military was failing in its duty to protect its country. To quote the order: “Units of the Southern

attacking earlier in the year was for the 200 new Panther tanks which would take part of the operation as part of Army Group South. Also in Army Group South would be the crack SS Panzer Divisions which consisted of the majority of heavy armor vehicles and majority of Tiger tanks which would be the strongest tank on the battlefield. The Russians on the other hand were able to field an army that dwarfed the Germans forces. With the delay in the German plans to attack earlier in the year the Russians

How significant was collectivisation in Russia up to 1940? Collectivisation is debatably Stalin’s most important policy and the pinnacle of Communism. Causing drastic changes for the Russian people, it could be argued that collectivisation was very significant in Russia up to 1940. It was a successful tool used to reaffirm Stalin’s power and spread Socialism; it fueled industrialism, turning Russia into a global superpower once more; but most tragically, could be named the greatest agricultural

Joseph Stalin was the most controversial person in Russia who has come into power. This has come from his 5 year plan that he has assembled when Russia was in shambles, due to the civil war, the economy failing, and no industrial equipment. His job now was to restore Russia and make it into an industrial powerhouse. His first five year plan was during 1928-1933 and this was the heavy industry plan which was making industries, transportation, and power supplies. The first of his methods was to

Evidence has shown that Stalin was not a savior to Russia by creating economic policies to help with the agriculture and also modernized Russia. Stalin’s plan was to make Russia an industrial giant, so Stalin created the five-year plan to work on the farms and factories of Russia. Stalin’s five-year plans were a series of nation wide centralized economic plans in the Soviet Union (Wikipedia). What that meant was that peasants who didn’t have jobs were required to work on a specific goal that Stalin

The Battle of Stalingrad In August 1942, Hitler's massive Sixth Army marched to the city that was named after Stalin. During the five-month siege, the Russians fought to hold the city and were determined to hold it at any cost. The book Stalingrad shows the roles of soldiers on both the Russian and German side, as well as fighting in inhuman conditions, and some of the experiences from civilians who were trapped in the battlefield. Antony Beevor interviewed some of the survivors and discovered new

Allied strategic bombing of Germany during the Second World War was, in the main, significant. The key themes to be looked at in this essay are the effects that Allied Strategic Bombing had on the dislocation and demoralisation of German civilians; Germany’s economic ability to produce and transport goods for the war effort; other key aspects of the war and the German war effort and, finally, its impact on the USSR. The evidence of the effectiveness of Allied Strategic Bombing of Germany strongly

executing, imprisoning, and firing many officials at many levels, especially the highest levels. Officers removed from office one way or another: 3 of 5 Marshalls, 8 of 9 Admirals, 13 of 15 Army Commanders, 50 of 57 Corps Commanders, 16 of 16 Army Commissars,

During the 1930’s, Stalin ordered large-scale purges, targeting anyone who displayed even the slightest sign of being a threat to the government. The government was able to identify these people through family members or close friends who informed on them. With this, people no longer expressed their true opinions and instead conformed with the government’s ideas in fear of persecution (“Purges and Praises”). About 20 million people that were suspected of performing “anti-Soviet activities” were executed

ii). It was the aim of Hitler to control the Eastern Front and gain access to Soviet petroleum resources (Craig, 1973, p. 18). He also believed that the forces sent to take hold of Stalingrad, the “elite legion” of the German 6th Army, would be capable of doing so because in “three years of warfare, they had never suffered defeat” (Craig, 1973, p. 4). In the Soviet Union, Josef Stalin was certain that if and when Nazi Germany launched another attack, it would be further north towards
