Vasilij Ivanovič Čujkov citáty

Vasilij Ivanovič Čujkov byl sovětský voják, maršál a dvojnásobný hrdina SSSR , a diplomat. Hrál významnou roli při obraně Stalingradu a dobývání Berlína.

Pocházel z rolnické rodiny. V roce 1918 vstoupil do Rudé armády a v letech 1918-1920 bojoval na Ukrajině, jižním Rusku a na Kavkaze a nakonec v Polsku. Na konci občanské války velel pluku. V letech 1923-1931 rotoval mezi Frunzeho vojenskou akademií, kde absolvoval některé zvláštní kursy specializované na Dálný východ, a Dálným východem, kde střídavě hrál úlohu diplomatického kurýra v Číně a člena štábu Vasilije Bljuchera.

1932-1935 vedl kurzy pro vyšší důstojníky a poté byl přeřazen k bojovým jednotkám . Jeho dosavadní úspěchy udělaly dojem na jeho nadřízené a jelikož volných míst pro povyšování bylo po Stalinových čistkách v armádě dost, bylo jen logické, že se měl zúčastnit i přepadení Finska. Wikipedia

“The heavy casualties, the constant retreat, the shortage of food and munitions, the difficulty of receiving reinforcements… all this had a very bad effect on morale. Many longed to get across the Volga, to escape the hell of Stalingrad.”

Quoted in "Unconditional Surrender" - Page 139 - by Everett Holles - 1945

“The Germans underestimated our artillery. And they underestimated the effectiveness of our infantry against their tanks. This battle showed that tanks forced to operate in narrow quarters are of limited value; they're just guns without mobility. In such conditions nothing can take the place of small groups of infantry, properly armed, and fighting with utmost determination. I don't mean barricade street fighting—there was little of that—but groups converting every building into a fortress and fighting for it floor by floor and even room by room. Such defenders cannot be driven out either by tanks or planes. The Germans dropped over a million bombs on us but they did not dislodge our infantry from its decisive positions. On the other hand, tanks can be destroyed from buildings used as fortresses.”

Quoted in "The fall of Berlin" - by Vasiliĭ Ivanovich Chuĭkov - 1968

“Our units were tired. There were many whining pessimists in the army. I threw these panicky people out of the army right away and set to work. I told our men we could not retreat beyond the Volga… I believe that nowhere else in this war was there such bloody hand-to-hand combat. Nowhere else were bayonets and hand grenades used so widely as in Stalingrad…Lieutenant General Rodimtzev's division was first to arrive there and received the fierce German blow. Rodimtzev told me: 'We will fight to the last man, but we shall not leave the city.”
