[edit] Rewrite

this article will be rewritten when i get to it in my Marshal of the Soviet Union series, unless someone wants to do it first. Adam 00:26, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 64th or 62nd

Did Chuikov command the Russian 62nd Army or the Russian 64th Army? I know both fought viciously for Stalingrad, but I think it was the 62nd that Chuikov commanded. I'll re-check that in my primary sources (Enemy at the Gates, by William Craig and Stalingrad, memories and reassessments by another guy who's name escapes me.) Cam 20:27, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

You may well have already located the answer, however Chuikov commanded the 62nd army; responsible for the defence of Stalingrad proper. I believe he was the deputy commander of the 64th just prior to his appointment by the front commander Yeremenko. It was Shumilov who had the 64th. Hope that clarifies things a bit! If you haven't already read it, I highly recommend Anthony Beevor's Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege: 1942-1943 LondonIce 06:58, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
