Reds Lied About Grow's Diary Says Army
The Army says Maj. Gen. Robert W. Grow did not write in his diary as Soviet propagandists claimed and accused Reds of distorting many notes. The diary excerpts showed Grow believed Russia could be ready for war in Europe in 1951, which the Army says was misrepresented. Grow was convicted by court martial of mishandling and safeguarding information and received a reprimand and six month command suspension. Most of the diary remains top secret and publication risk was cited.
