At the moment the database contains 28230 short biographical sketches of the army generals of World War 2.</p> <p>However, taking into account the scope of the project, the information on each general will vary in detail. Some generals have only been identified and listed with their last names, while others are listed with full names and sketches of their military careers. I am engaged in the quest for further biographical information on the generals and as a result there will be continual updates.</p> <p>To find information on a specific general use the Search function or just click on The Generals and then choose the country of origin.</p> <p>I hope that you will find this a useful reference tool.</p> </div> <div class="general"> <h3>General of the day</h3> <img class="portrait" src="/content/portraits/Maslennikov_Fedor_Fedorovich.jpg" alt="Portrait of Major-General Fedor Fedorovich Maslennikov" /> <div class="general"> <h3> Maslennikov, Fedor Fedorovich </h3> <p> Major-General </p> <p>* 17th of February 1902 <p>&dagger; February 1968 </p> <p>(肖械写芯褉肖械写芯褉芯胁懈褔袦邪褋谢械薪薪懈泻芯胁)</p> </div> <img class="flag" src="/content/flags/Soviet_Union.gif" width="100" alt="Flag for Soviet Union" /> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="promotions"> <h3>Promotions</h3> <table> <tr> <td class="date">1943-12-20</td> <td class="description">Major-General</td> </tr> </table> </div> <div class="assignments"> <h3>Service</h3> <table> <tr> <td class="start">1943-08-17</td> <td class="dash">–</td><td class="stop">1945-07-01</td> <td class="description">Chief of Staff, 43rd Army</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="start">1945-06-28</td> <td class="dash">–</td><td class="stop">1945-11-15</td> <td class="description">Chief of Staff, 1st Red Banner Army</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="start">1945-08-09</td> <td class="dash">–</td><td class="stop">1945-09-02</td> <td class="description">Deputy Commander in Chief Far Eastern Command</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="start">1960-09-26</td> <td class="dash"></td><td class="stop"></td> <td class="description">Retired</td> </tr> </table> </div> <div class="portraitsource"> Picture source: Courtesy of Ilya Mukhin </div> <div class="spacer"> </div> </div> <div class="content"> <h3>Contact</h3> <p>Any comments, suggestions or corrections please feel free to contact me at:<br /> <a href="mailto:webmaster@generals.dk">webmaster@generals.dk</a> </p> <p>Best Regards<br /> Steen Ammentorp, Librarian DB., M.L.I.Sc.</p> </div>  <div class="spacer"> </div>  <div id="footer"> Copyright © Steen Ammentorp since 2000. </div> <div id="footerspacer"> </div>  </div>  </div>  </body> </html>
