Bizon,
I have an idea for purge event for USSR Army in 1941
some of them were arrested due to problems in Soviet aviation (plane crashes, poor quality engines, weak air defense)
these were:
leaders:
Stern G.M. (id 30499), retirement date - 1942 (was arrested 7 June 1941 during a new purge of the Red Army, was executed by shooting on 28 October 1941.)
Loktionov A.D. (30681), retirement date - 1941 (was discharged from the RKKA in 1940, was arrested 19 June 1941, was executed by shooting on 28 October 1941)
Smushkevich Y.V. (30700), retirement date - 1942 (was arrested 8 June 1941, was executed by shooting on 28 October 1941)
Rychagov P.V. (30697), retirement date - 1942 (was arrested 24 June 1941, was executed by shooting on 28 October 1941)
Proskurov I.I. (30407), retirement date - 1942 (was arrested 27 June 1941, was executed by shooting on 28 October 1941)
Oborin S.I. (30353), retirement date - 1942 (was arrested 8 July 1941, was executed on 16 October 1941)
Chernyh S.A. (30657), retirement date - 1942 (was executed on 16 October 1941)
and ministers:
Ivan I. Proskurov (id 30033), retirement date - 1942 (was arrested 27 June 1941, was executed by shooting on 28 October 1941)
Aleksandr D. Loktionov (30051), retirement date - 1941 (was discharged from the RKKA in 1940, was arrested 19 June 1941, was executed by shooting on 28 October 1941)
Pavel V. Rychagov (30052), retirement date - 1942 (was arrested 24 June 1941, was executed by shooting on 28 October 1941)
Yakov V. Smushkevich (30053), retirement date - 1942 (was arrested 8 June 1941, was executed by shooting on 28 October 1941)
Chernyh S.A. (30066), retirement date - 1942 (was executed on 16 October 1941)
purge against them must occur in any case (start war against Germany or no)
______________________________________________________________________________
but also in 1941 were executed some leaders, these unsuccessfully led troops in war against Germany
they were relieved of their command, arrested and accused of criminal incompetence
Oborin S.I. (30353), retirement date - 1942 (was arrested 8 July 1941, was executed on 16 October 1941)
Pavlov D.G. (30374), retirement date - 1942 (was arrested 4 July 1941, was executed on 22 July 1941)
Klimovskih V.E. (30217), retirement date - 1942 (was arrested 8 July 1941, was executed on 22 July 1941)
Korobkov A.A. (30238), retirement date - 1942 (was arrested 8 July 1941, was executed on 22 July 1941)
Kachanov K.M. (30191), retirement date - 1942 (was arrested 12 September 1941, was executed on 29 September 1941)
Goncharov V.S. (30131), retirement date - 1942 (was executed on 11 September 1941)
Karmanov S.P. (30198), retirement date - 1942 (was executed on 30 September 1941)
I think: no war - no purge against them
And I again remade soviet leaders file
