Left Unity is our motto, but when unity is put into practice it can be extremely messy. The Left in the civil war was made up of many revolutionary and popular organisations, which cooperated to an extent but were divided by their divergent goals and tactics.

What are your answers for finding ways for multiple left factions to act with unity in times of crisis?

    would have been a great boon to the Republican forces.

    I wouldn't trust a Field Marshall that had the highest access to strategic and national level military plans of not just his home country but of allied countries as well when he would drunkenly brag about selling said info to the nazis. I mean maybe with an commissar squad to make sure he doesn't try to defect maybe

    But I would have preferred dispatching Konstantin Rokossovsky instead of having him jailed. With a mechanized division or two too.

        Yeah, I think the consensus is Heydrich got inside the NKVD decision circle and Yezhov and Stalin were already inclined to think the worst.

          Anything supposedly said in the confessions of anyone is not applicable to a case, considering torture was involved

      Yeah, I'd have a few icepick ninjas at hand nearby just in case.
