I am looking for sources for the operation of the Supreme Command of Armed Forces of USSR 1942-1945. This would include the links and personnel of STAVKA, GKO, NKO, General Staff and how they interacted.
To make a start here is what I have found so far:
Erickson, John. The Soviet High Command: A Military Political History, 1918-1941, by John Erikson ... London; New York: Macmillan and C° ; St Martin’s Press, 1962.
Shtemenko, Sergei Matveevich. The Soviet General Staff at War: 1941-1945. Moscow: Progress publishers, 1970.
Горьков, Юрий. Кремль. Ставка. Генштаб. [Kremlin, STAVKA, General Staff]. Tver: RIF, 1995. https://www.e-reading.life/book.php?book=99577.

Михалёв С. Н. Стратегическое руководство. Россия/СССР в двух мировых войнах ХХ столетия
This book is a rarity though, there were few copies printed.
Simonov's interviews with Zhukov, Konev and Vasilevsky is definitely a must IMO

Also you've got many memoirs of various personalities.

Also worth to mention an official Russian history which gives a nice overview of operation of Stavka and the Red Army's General Staff:

I did pick up the entire set from the Ministry of Defence website a couple of years ago but it does not seem to be available anymore.
