Re: Did the Wehrmacht liberate any GULAG camps in 1941/42?
Acolyte, if you go to the interactive color map you posted, and click on the red dots, it gives you the specifics about the camps in that region (I had to use the translate button--kak zhal, moii russkie seytchas otchen ploho; I presume from your avatar and location you can read it)--you will find ...

Re: Rzhev: A winter of death, 1942.
Let's bump this great thread. It seems to me that Glantz is basically saying Op. Mars was a huge defeat for the Red Army that Soviet historiography remained silent about. Well, if that's the case, why didn't Nazi propagandists - or right-wing Western historians for that matter - milk this story for...

Re: Did the Wehrmacht liberate any GULAG camps in 1941/42?
Thanks, I know about these. But my question is about GULAG camps, not NKVD prisons. Common sense's have it that the propagandists of Goebbels would've given a lot of publicity to any liberated GULAG camp to portray it as another symbol of bolshevik barbarism. Yet I never heard about something like t...

Did the Wehrmacht liberate any GULAG camps in 1941/42?
Many GULAG camps were located in the Western regions of the USSR that were captured by the Germans in 1941/42: http://www.memo.ru/history/nkvd/gulag/maps/ussri.htm http://www.g-to-g.com/picts/user/repressed/mapgulag_1.jpg Did the Germans liberate any of them?

Russian TV: 3 million died in Kolyma GULAG camps
I've just come across this segment from the news channel 'Russia Today': http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vmYuTIjT9cY At the end of the report they say 3 million prisoners died in the Kolyma camps. I've read this figure elsewhere but I was very surprised to see a state-owned Russian TV channel repeat i...

Re: Soviet war plans vs. NATO 1956 - 1989. Anybody knows?
The Soviet version called for a major deception and pinning attacks in the north, while a mass strike force of at least 60 armored and mechanized divisions would sweep west from Czechoslovakia into neutral Austria, cross it, and then erupt into eastern Switzerland. The Red Army would have to fight ...

"Stalin wanted to stop Hitler in 1939"
Or so the Russia Today channel recently reported based on declassified documents:

One wonders how serious that proposal was. It was common knowledge that Poland wasn't about to allow Soviet troops on its soil under any circumstances.

1915 Hungarian maps of war goals
Scanned and posted on a Hungarian blog from a 1915 publication (an atlas for the year 1916, by Dr. Zsigmond Bátky) of the Hungarian Institute of Geography, displaying the supposed expansionist intentions of the Entente and the Central Powers. This chapter in the atlas is entitled 'The partition plan...
