Formation commanders the account does not name
The writing names Zhukov and Konev and then writes about “the 3rd Shock Army” as though an army acts by itself. These 12 are here because a formation page points at them — the men who held those commands between 16 April and 2 May 1945 — and not because the account discusses them.
