The Armed Forces of the Soviet Union made a decisive contribution to the defeat of Nazi Germany, which unleashed the Second World War. A big role in this belonged to their senior command staff - Soviet generals and admirals. Therefore, the study of their biographies is of significant historical interest... About 450 thousand Jews fought in the ranks of the Soviet army in World War II in all branches of the military and in all positions and ranks - from privates to generals. They fought alongside the rest of the citizens of the Soviet Union, but moreover, they also knew that they were fighting an enemy who was destroying their people, who was waging war against the Jews. The combination of Soviet and Jewish patriotism significantly increased the consciousness of Jews in the fight against the German invaders. This book will only talk about Jewish generals and admirals. The table of contents of the book simultaneously serves as a list of all Jewish generals and admirals of the Soviet Armed Forces. The appendices to the book contain lists of Jewish generals and admirals who held the most responsible positions: commanders of fronts (military districts), commanders of armies (flotillas), chiefs of staff of fronts (fleets, districts), chiefs of staff of army (flotillas), commanders of corps and divisions .
