Ferdinand Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Great picture indeed! Khrushchev was promoted to Lieutenant-General on 12 February 1943, so what is his rank on this picture? The Lt.Gen. equivalent of Komkor?? I'm not really familiar with pre-1943 rank insignia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lt.Gen. equivalent of Komkor?? I'm not really familiar with pre-1943 rank insignia.On given photos Brezhnev in a rank of the Brigade Commissioner (Бригадный Комиссар). The BRIGADE COMMISSIONER, military rank (in 1935-42) the supreme military-political structure of Red Army and the Navy....

Ferdinand Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 If I'm not mistaking he was the Member of the Military Council of the South-Western Theatre at that time... But I'm still wondering what his rank was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm still wondering what his rank was?Hrushchev the "Commissioner Supreme Rank" was in a rank. In October, 1942 the order was issued signed by Stalin, removing double command system and translating commissioners from command structure in advisers. But it is necessary to note, that Hrushchev remained the unique political worker (Commissioner) to which advice(councils) general Chujkov an autumn of 1942 in Stalingrad listened.By the way and the photo on which are represented military leaders Hrushchev, Kirichenko, Chanov and Eremenko on Stalingrad front.

Andwwils Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Khrushchev allegedly hated cigarette smoke, but it looks like he's tolerating Brezhnev's habit in that top photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
