I'm confused, I don't think this happened during the cold war. This was partly the job of Soviet Partisans in World War 2. They were used for guerrilla warfare and long-range reconnaissance patrol missions, but something simple as maps were given to officers and commissars. They were disorganized, but not that incompetent during the war. Even theoretical attacks had maps given out plenty, because logistics is the number one most important factor in war. I just do not believe that they decided to start using an even worse method of directing troops than giving out maps in the cold war.
"One of Suvorov's pieces of evidence favoring the theory of an impending Soviet attack was his claim regarding the maps and phrasebooks issued to Soviet troops"

> Hitler blew it by trying to fight on two fronts.
He didn't have much of a choice.
>The Soviets made the greatest sacrifice of any nation and were betrayed by the west right after the war
How were they betrayed? They were allowed to keep half of Europe. The "West" allowed Poland, whose sovereignty the war was ostensibly fought over, to simply be absorbed into their empire...
Both systems claimed to be Socialist - and ended up being Big-Government kleptocracies , with similarly terrifying results.

It has some small inaccuracies but the main thesis stands and started a pretty heated debate (would have linked, but not yet translated).
Humanity should have had two sets of trials at Nuremberg, for two oppressive regimes.
One of the biggest myths of the last century is that you have Communists on the Far Left and Nazis on the Far Right, and useless fools in between. In reality the entire scale is a scam, and Classic Constitutional Liberalism exists as a forgotten direction up.
