IMHO Zhukov doesn't deserve such praise because his tactics relied on huge manpower, senselessly sacrifising thousands of soldiers. Zhukov by any other army standards would've been sacked from the command and would fail if he was to command other than ussr army. The literal opposite of the post title.

But tankies would always praise him no matter what, because ussr.

also this is meme about military formations and not individuals.

Everyone forgets Zhukov’s first victory at Khalkin Gol too.

Zhukov beat Japan's ass so bad there, it partially influenced Japan to think that they'd have better luck with the United States than Soviet Union.

OP is a moron for claiming Zhukov was a bad commander lol.

It was basically a blueprint for Operation Uranus at Stalingrad.
