There’s a lot of debate about just how good a general Zhukov was. He achieved a lot, but with heavy losses, and it can be asked how much of the losses were his fault (some of the worst examples appear to be the result of subordinates blatantly disobeying his orders). Lavrentiy Beria hated his guts, which at least shows he had good taste in enemies…
Marshal Georgy Zhukov, the “Miracle Marshal”. One Russian officer who really earned those medals.
What about Vasily Chuikov?
AND Ivan Stepanovich Konev.
Right you are! Without these people all the U.S. would be speaking German now and forever )))
And WHAT have you been smoking?
Along with the millions who died to make sure he did… they really earned some medals… mostly a bullet or two…

The Soviets sure could crank out the little bits of silk and silver.
And a T-34 or two……
Except in the Autumn, when the entire Red Army was in the fields harvesting wheat…
If by wheat you mean “German soldiers” then yes
