The official AHF WW2 in Eastern Europe quiz thread

[Max Payload]

After a row with Jodl and List and after Hitler dismissed General Halder (chief of Army General Staff) on September 24th, 1942...

Who was 'said' was going to be appointed to replace Jodle as the chief of the Army Command Staff?

According to Beevor, Paulus 'heard' that he was to replace Jodl. Unfortunately Beevor does not provide a reference for this. I'm not sure to what extent Jodl's position was genuinely under threat. After all, Hitler was to stick with Jodl through darker days than those of September 1942.
Anyway, I think the answer you're looking for is Paulus.

That was it. Thanks.

Your turn.

OK - another 'name that general' question

Identify a Soviet general who was promoted twice in the second half of 1942, was promoted again a year later, was demoted six months after that, was promoted back again after a further six months, and was made a Hero of the Soviet Union a couple of weeks after the war's end.

[Max Payload]

Some clues - he spent much of the war in command of Soviet units operating against the southern fringe of the Ostheer, though he was, briefly, appointed to a command position north of the Pripyat Marshes, and he was involved in the Berlin offensive though not as a combat unit commander.

[Adam Carr]

This I think is General Ivan Yefimovich Petrov, who commanded at Odessa, Sebastopol and along the Kuban coast.

[Max Payload]

Correct.
Over to you for the next question.

[Adam Carr]

Ok. Where is this memorial?

[Max Payload]

How about a clue?

[Adam Carr]

Gosh, I'd forgotten all about this, and so has everyone else by the look of it.
A clue: it's in the capital of a country which was not a country before the war, or after the war, but was during the war, and is now again.

[John Hilly]

Your hint was good, so it is The Holocaust Memorial in Bratislava, Slovakia.

[Adam Carr]

Correct.

[John Hilly]

This city was a place for heavy battles. What city?
