comrades what kind of a quote is this?

sounds like a bad tactic and the line itself is insane

It's a good tactic. Minefields can slow you down for days as you get through and this can mean attacks go unsupported and many more people will die. This tactic saved lives.

he was just joking

>Marshal Zhukov gave me a matter-of-fact statement of his practice, which was, roughly, ‘There are two kinds of mines; one is the personnel mine and the other is the vehicular mine. When we come to a minefield our infantry attacks exactly as if it were not there. The losses we get from personnel mines we consider only equal to those we would have gotten from machine guns and artillery if the Germans had chosen to defend that particular area with strong bodies of troops instead of mines’… I had a vivid picture,” Eisenhower noted, “of what would happen to any American or British commander if he pursued such tactics.

true but the way he said it, its hilarious to me

"If we come to a minefield, our infantry attacks exactly as it were not there" -gregory zhukov

"When they come into machine gun fire, our soldiers march exactly as if it was not there. we will prove the defenders wrong!" - Marshal gregory Zhukov

"when it comes to a german panzer division, our soldiers fight as if they aren't in the way" - Greg Zhukov

"Keep attacking, they'll run out of mines eventually" - Georgy Zhukov, Order no.520

"i secretly wrote the script for enemy at the gate, just to dunk on stalin and fuck with the dumb american cinema lovers" -Gregory Zhukov, a statement from his diaries

thnx for the original anon

>>792943
Are we sure that Eisenhower is a reliable source for this?

>>792925
I am unsure of the validity of the quote but casualty-wise only few Soviet generals' tactics were resulting with less losses in their side.
One of them is Marshall Rokossovsky, who also had overseen Operation Bagration. One of the most successful Soviet offensives.
