[edit] 'Puppet' Polish Communist Forces

I think that is a cheap shot not worthy of inclusion on Wiki. The 1st Polish Army and its predecessor formations fought just like the Polish forces in the west against Germany. They were not puppets, they were soldiers. Andreas 15:46, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Soldiers weren't present at the parade. Only 140 Soviet commanders[1] that had overseen Polish were on the parade. As Communist Poland was reckognised only on 5VII 1945, they didn't represent the legitimate Polish state during the parade. --Molobo 22:02, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

fought just like the Polish forces in the west against Germany. This Soviet commanders also murdered Home Army members during the war. --Molobo 22:03, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Start an article on the Polish armies in the Red Army if you feel so strongly about it. This is not the place. Andreas 22:06, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I am simply aiming for objectivity:this weren't Polish soldiers. --Molobo 22:10, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Georgy Zhukov

Probably too trivial for the article but Georgy Zhukov's aperance at the parade on a white stalion has sertain simbolism. Saint George is the paitron saint of MOscow and is fetured on the coat of arms of the city riding a white horse much like Zhukov who is atributed with organazing the deffence of moscow during the war.
