Dos ejemplos sobre Arte Operacional soviético, el caso de estudio de la campaña de Manchuria (1945)
Los Leavenwoth Papers son una fuente excelente de la Army University Press (USA). hay una biblioteca entera de asuntos militares de libre acceso y descargable en formato pdf.
Como ejemplo voy a compartir dos trabajos que he utilizado para mis estudios sobre el Arte Operacional Soviético y ambientados en la sorprendente y arrolladora campaña soviética de Manchuria (1945).
El primero:
August Storm: The Soviet 1945 Strategic Offensive in Manchuria
Leavenworth Papers No. 7
By LTC David M. Glantz
260 Pages
Published: 1983
Too often soldiers fall victim to their preconceptions about potential adversaries’ patterns of behavior. A popular notion among U.S. officers is that military history in the Soviet Union consists of little but propaganda broadsides to justify Soviet actions. On too few occasions do U.S. officers critically analyze the past campaigns of potential adversaries. In particular, the rich vein of military history in Russian language military periodicals and literature has been neglected. The language barrier, time constraints, and changing Army requirements combine to hinder the type of in-depth historical research that affords penetrating insights into Soviet military planning, operations, and tactics.
El segundo:
August Storm: Soviet Tactical and Operational Combat in Manchuria, 1945
Leavenworth Papers No. 8
By LTC David M. Glantz
215 Pages
Published: 1983
In this companion piece to Leavenworth Paper No. 7, «August Storm: The Soviet Strategic Offensive in Manchuria, 1945,» LTC David M. Glantz focuses on the operational and tactical levels of the Manchurian campaign, highlighting the techniques that brought victory to Soviet combined arms during the last days of World War II. In eight case studies, Lieutenant Colonel Glantz examines various kinds of military operations, from tank armies crossing mountains and desert to joint ground and riverine actions conducted over diverse terrain, from heavily wooded mountains to swampy lowlands.
