maybe in USAF it can be another matter. But
in Stalin times
one must be crazy to lie in official reports.
And what's for.
VVS was doing pretty well against USAF in Koreia
according
to any standards.


People lied to Stalin all the time just to stay
alive. That pig encouraged it.

Beria and his animals extracted lies from those
he tortured and he passed them
on to Stalin.

Like when Rokossovsky had his teeth pulled out by Beri's goons for being
an enemy of the state based on "evidence" from a man who'd been dead for
twenty years?
When he was a Marshal he never forgave or forgot and waited for his revenge;
he got it when Beria was shot in a Politburo meeting. Rokossvosky led a Parachute
battalion into the Lubyanka with a list of 300 single-spaced pages of names.
The lucky ones were summarily liquidated. The unlucky ones were thrown into
the cells after releasing those already there, tortured under GRU supervision,
and then shot. Zhukov said in response to a young Major's question whether
taking Berlin was his finest hour, he replied, "No, the removal of Beria!"
