Notably, after the German attack, the officer responsible for maps, Lieutenant General M.K. Kudryavtsev, was not punished by Stalin, who was known for extreme punishments after failures to obey his orders.
Det er værd at bemærke, at efter det tyske angreb blev officeren, der var ansvarlig for kortfremstillingen, generalløjtnant M.K. Kudrjavtsev ikke straffet af Stalin, som ellers var kendt for ekstremt hårde straffe, hvis man ikke adlød hans ordrer.
