Soviet spy and sabotage operations were highly effective, despite Soviet "human wave" meming, and French resistance getting all the credit.

>>2640890
it was mostly a reference to how a lot of Soviet civilians were rounded up and killed on the accusation of being a partisan.

Stalin's son Yakov captured by the Germans.

They hoped to exchange him for Paulus but Stalin said he's not going to exchange a Field Marshal for a Lieutenant. Got shot in captivity instead.

whats better is that stalin and his family should have been sent to the gulag as per his own orders against surrendering

On top of being stone cold in general Stalin was simply not very fond of his son.

>Dzhugashvili and his father Stalin never got along. Allegedly once Stalin referred to Dzhugashvili as a "mere cobbler". Their tense relationship was exacerbated when Dzhugashvili and his Jewish fiancée, Zoya Gunina, attempted to inform Stalin of their engagement. According to Dzhugashvili's stepmother Nadezhda Alliluyeva, she saw a young woman running away from the family's Moscow dacha in tears. When Alliluyeva entered the house, she saw a despairing Dzhugashvili, who immediately left to his bedroom. It was revealed that when Dzhugashvili and Gunina told Stalin of their engagement, he became enraged. Stalin's rage caused Gunina's flight from the dacha, and Dzhugashvili to attempt suicide in his room via firearm. He missed his heart and hit his lung instead; while his stepmother Alliluyeva tended to his wound and called the doctor, his father is quoted as saying, "He can't even shoot straight".
