The Chief Culprit: Stalin's Grand Design to Start World War II
After June 13, , the appropriate orders were issued and the final preparations for war were completed. Tens of thousands of parachutes were folded for action in the loading areas of the airbases. All paratroop corps were stationed so close to the borders that they could be deployed on enemy territory without additional regrouping. All corps conducted intensive preparations for an impending landing.
All corps were concentrated in the forests, away from public view. On June 12, , the Command Staff for Air Assault Troops was created in the Red Army, with plans for an additional five air assault corps to be formed by August Altogether, in the summer of Stalin had ten air assault corps three brigades each , six separate brigades, and several separate regiments. Aside from the air assault corps, brigades, and regiments, a significant number of para- chutist landing battalions were created as units included with the regular Soviet infantry.
Marshal Ivan Bagramian relates that in the beginning of the 55th Rifle Corps, which was located close to the Romanian border, conducted intensive training for several parachut- ist battalions. In addition to parachute formations, several regular rifle divisions were also prepared for transfer by air, in those days a radical shift in deployment of troops. On June 21, , the day before Hitler attacked the Soviet Union, the Soviet army was practicing airborne of- fensive operations, proof of how far they were from any defensive war strategy.
To deliver hundreds of thousands of paratroops the Red Army needed an air armada of transport planes and gliders. Stalin understood this perfectly, which is why the parachute craze of the s was accompanied by a glider craze. Soviet gliders and gliding hobbyists were up to world standards.
