A Short History of the Soviet/Russian Western Group of Forces in Germany 1945-1994 Copyright by Elliott Carson Nowacky 2012 The Thesis Committee for Elliott Carson Nowacky Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: From Occupation to Withdrawal: A Short History of the Soviet/Russian Western Group of Forces in Germany 1945-1994 APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Supervisor: Thomas J. Garza Bella B. Jordan From Occupation to Withdrawal: A Short History of the Soviet/Russian Western Group of Forces in Germany 1945-1994 by Elliott Carson Nowacky, B.A History Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin August 2012 Dedication To my late parents Ed and Catherine. Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many people. I would like to thank Professor Thomas Garza and Dr. Bella Bychkova-Jordan for their guidance, constructive criticism and ever present enthusiasm during the writing process. My appreciation also goes to Andriy, Elena and Yuri at the NovaMova Language Institute in Kiev. Andriy, who is also one of the people I interviewed for this project, went above the call of duty in arranging an additional interview with another ZGV veteran in L’viv for me during my short time in Ukraine. Yuri helped me slog through Michael Boltunov’s Gorkaya Doroga Domoi and Elena assisted in preparing my interview questions in Russian. Kudos are also in order for Jay K. and Brandon P, my former “battle buddies” here at UT; Thanks for helping a middle-aged graduate student remain sane. I would also like to thank Don A., the Slavic bibliographer, Sheila W., the German bibliographer and the Inter-Library Services staff at the Perry-Castaneda Library. Each provided excellent assistance as I looked for additional resources etc. Finally, I am indebted to Don Clark, David Large and Pierce Mullen from Montana State University for encouraging me as a young undergraduate student more than 25 years ago to explore the history and culture of Germany and the Soviet Union. My curiosity in both continues to this day. Danke! Spacibo! v Abstract From Occupation to Withdrawal: A Short History of the Soviet/Russian Western Group of Forces in Germany 1945-1994 Elliott Carson Nowacky, MA The University of Texas at Austin, 2012 Supervisor: Thomas J. Garza The body of knowledge in the English language concerning the Soviet/Russian Western Group of Forces which occupied Germany from 1945 until the fall of 1994 is virtually non-existent. This thesis is an attempt to begin adding to this limited knowledge. Having relied primarily on German and Russian sources, as well as previously untapped recollections of two former soldiers who served in the Western Group of Forces during the late 1980s/early 1990s, the results of my research show that there are significant discrepancies and gaps between the official Soviet/Russian history and unofficial accounts including the recollections of the two veterans interviewed. In many cases the unofficial sources contradict each other as well. Now that many of these discrepancies and gaps have been identified opportunities await a historian eager to write the first comprehensive history of the Soviet/Russian Western Group of Forces. vi Table of Contents List of Tables ...........................................................................................................x List of Figures ........................................................................................................ xi List of Illustrations ................................................................................................ xii Introduction ..............................................................................................................1 Chapter 1: Theoretical..............................................................................................5 Mackinder Strikes Back ..................................................................................5 Russia and its Role in Post-Soviet Space – Russian Perspectives ..................8 Russia and its Role in Post-Soviet Space – Western Perspectives ...............11 The Eurasian Black Hole ..............................................................................13 The Political Representation of Space After The Cold War .........................17 Chapter 2: Soviet Military Structures – On Overview...........................................19 The Soviet Ministry of Defense and General Staff .......................................19 Military Services and Associated Structures ..............................................20 High Commands ...........................................................................................22 Military Districts ...........................................................................................22 Teatr Voennykh Deistvii (TVDs) ..................................................................23 Nesting of the Groups of Forces ...................................................................25 Chapter 3: Soviet Military Withdrawals from the Western Façade 1944-1958 ...26 Yugoslavia ....................................................................................................26 Norway ..........................................................................................................27 Czechoslovakia .............................................................................................29 Denmark ........................................................................................................33 Bulgaria .........................................................................................................36 Finland ..........................................................................................................37 Romania ........................................................................................................39 vii Chapter 4: The GSOVG & GSVG: Forerunners to the ZGV ..................................43 GSOVG – Summer 1945 ...............................................................................43 SVAG /SKKG ................................................................................................45 GSOVG -

The last ten years have proven to be very challenging, if not disquieting. The problems encountered today by the VVS are hardly surprising to the observers of the Russian political and economic scenes; they stem from an economy in reconstruction, a new strategic environment, and parochial interests. It is not the first time in its history that the VVS faces such a situation. It suffered from Stalin’s purges and was nearly eliminated by Germany in the Great Patriotic War, but heroically came back to inflict serious losses in a war of attrition against an initially superior foe. Its heyday came during the Cold War that ended in 1989, when it significantly increased its numbers and ability to wage war from the air. Although the VVS never did match the West in all technological areas, experts recognized that it had talent and resources to innovate in several.

Brisson 2014 2 Abstract Over the course of the Great Patriotic War, fought from 22 June, 1941 to 9 May, 1945, there was a dramatic transformation in the way the Red Army conducted battle. From an army on the cusp of annihilation to one that quickly recovered to vanquish the invading forces of Nazi Germany, this resurgence can be traced in part to its mastery of operational art.
