A fine, bright image. Zhukov and Eisenhower are seated at a luncheon table. Eisenhower is reaching for his spectacles, listening intently as a translator standing over his shoulder renders Zhukov's words. A RARE COMBINATION OF THE TWO GREAT MILITARY LEADERS OF THE WAR. Most likely taken after the German surrender, as part of the Allied Control Commission discussions on the occupation of Germany. No general was more responsible for the Allied victory than Zhukov. While Eisenhower faced some 60 German divisions in the hard fight from Normandy to Berlin, Zhukov faced 100 German divisions on the eastern front. Stalin made him his Deputy Supreme Commander after Zukov's successful defense of Leningrad, then Moscow. The Red Army halted the German advance within 12 miles of the Kremlin in December 1941. The following August, Zhukov led the deadly encirclement of the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad and won a Marshal's star for his victory. With the pivotal battle at Kursk in July 1943--the greatest land battle of the war--Zhukov took the offensive and held it all the way to Berlin. The Allied Control Commissions was subject to an Allied Control Council, consisting of the commanders in chief of the conquering armies (Zhukov, Eisenhower, Montgomery), plus a token French membership.
