16. Interviews

Marshal of the Soviet Union V.D. Sokolovskii

Marshal of the Soviet Union K.K. Rokossovskii

Marshal of the Soviet Union V.I. Chuikov

Marshal of the Soviet Union I.S. Koniev

Additional interview material from: Marshal of the Soviet Union A.I. Yeremenko; Chief Marshal (Artillery) N. Voronov; General S.P. Platonov; General N.G. Pavlenko;
General P.I. Batov; General A.E. Boltin; General I.I. Yushchuk; General B.S. Tel’pukhovskii; Colonel B. Polevoi; Colonel K. Ya. Samsonov; Lt.-Col. S.A. Neustroyev; Irena Nikolaevna Levchenko.

I have retained complete transcripts of these exchanges and I have drawn upon them extensively for this present volume. In addition, I was able to make considerable use of the original
Stavka
directives and associated operational orders. To supplement this invaluable material I also turned to personal diaries and personal archives made available to me, so that there may be some discrepancies between what is recorded in official accounts and what I have uncovered from contemporary, personal records—in which event I have relied almost exclusively on the contemporary record, as opposed to any retrospective construction and interpretation.

II. GERMAN MILITARY DOCUMENTS (GMD)

For this Bibliography, the German materials have been grouped as follows:

1. General/
   Chefsachen/War
   diaries
   (KTB)
   

   (a) Army Groups
   

   (b) Armies/Corps
   

2. Intelligence reports/assessments of Soviet forces (organization, command, weapons, tactics)
   

3. Map collections
   

This compilation cannot pretend in the least to be comprehensive; it is intended merely to identify types of material utilized throughout the present work, such as
Chefsachen
, or army/corps records where relevant. Under (2) I have attempted
to
assemble a profile of significant intelligence reports and assessments.
