#2 Stalin won, remeber. However it is not true he shot generalms during the war. THat was only true during the four or five first months. Afterwards defeated generals were either given unimportant commands (eg Timoshenko), or simply assummed they were too unexperienced for the job and thus demoted (from Army to to Corps, from Corps to Division), allowed to get experience at that lower rank and somewhat later handed a second oppportunity at the higher.
