I feel like I'm going to be posting this once a week until Oppenheimer leaves theatres and the discourse founded on the constant racist erasure of Imperial Japan's victims goes away. Image @AWOAMM I'd definitely recommend looking more into (for example) SE Asian takes on the occupation, since they get even less attention than China does.

The Red Army's success against the Wehrmacht can mostly be attributed to their use of Deep Battle Doctrine, a school of military theory developed by Mikhail Tukhachevsky,

Stalin conspired with the SS to frame Tukhachevsky for treason and purged. Following Tukhachevsky's execution, Stalin made adhering to Deep Battle a crime tantamount to treason. This was a problem because the Red Army - then one of the most innovative militaries in the world - was kind of built around it.
