Investigators noted many were former POWs or used as slave laborers by the Germans, with replacements being smaller but better equipped. The official speculated Sokolovsky may be recalled, as Zhukov was earlier shifted from Berlin to command Soviet ground forces. Some see the move tied to UN troop census talks.
