Question about naming: was the word 'Soviet' in it? I have a Polish force which gives names that translate as 'Group of Forces in Germany' and 'Group of Occupation Forces in Germany', without the word Soviet; the word Soviet seems to be also missing from the names of 'Western Group of Forces', Southern Group of Forces, Northern Group of Forces and Central Group of Forces...-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  05:00, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
