Zhukov: 1. If I knew that there was a minefield on the way forward, I would also let the troops drive directly through it. 2. I can do any job, command a division, a corps, a group army, a front army - as long as the motherland needs it. 3. Personnel, weapons, and military ideas—these are the three basic elements of an army.

Stalin: 1. People with ideals always live a fiery life. 2. Young people should take over from us old people. Youth should hold up our flag to the end of victory. 3. No matter how great our achievements are, we should still clearly estimate the enemy's strength, be vigilant, and never allow arrogance, complacency, and negligence in our own ranks.
