One of the major improvements to the Soviet armed forces that came out of the Winter War was the replacement of Kliment Voroshilov by Semyon Timoshenko as People’s Commissar for Defence. Voroshilov had helped Stalin carry out the Great Purge by denouncing some of his military colleagues, and (as I recall) he reversed some of the army reforms that his predecessors had carried out. He also bungled the opening phases of the Winter War, and was eventually turfed out in favour of the more competent Timoshenko. After the Soviets won in Finland, Timoshenko set about modernizing the Red Army.

Did you know in Canada we’ve been caught using experimenal biological and chemical- weapons on our own troops? That we have highly sophisticated weapon manufacturing facilities for said weapons, stuff that you only think you saw in Far Cry?
And how long was it before people really heard how “bad” the residential schools were? The higher up’s in government weren’t aware of the abuses at the time, for the most part they are just staffers.
For Goebbels, his department was propoganda, how many “Negative” reports about German war atrocities do you really think he and his staff heard? And how many of his own people if he knew, do you think he told? This isn’t Heinrich Himmler’s SS - charged with the task.
If you really want the point to sink in, drive around your own city, and look at all the factories and businesses, and ask yourself, do I really know everything about how those places work, and whats going on in there? If you’re a plumber, you plumb, you don’t install millwork.
Heads of a different snake, in a basket of secrets.
