ZHUKOV, GEORGI K.
(1896 - 1974) Soviet Field Marshall, perhaps the greatest general of World War II, he survived crushing poverty and Stalin's purges to command the Russian armies at the monumental battles of Moscow and Kursk, and in the taking of Berlin. Rare war-date typed D.S., 1p. sm. folio, Kiev, Nov. 2, 1940, Zhukov's order to soldiers of the Kiev Special Military Zone to prepare to change their uniforms to regulation winter garb. Boldly signed at bottom, also signed by Chief of Staff MAKSIM PURKAYEV (1894-1953), who later replaced Konev and took Sakhalin and the Kuriles. Tiny files holes in blank left margin, very light soiling, otherwise very good. .
