They had a Potemkin Army, Navy, Air Force Not in '48. They just finished chasing Nazis all the way into Germany, and they had several millions of battle hardened soldiers - and a fully military economy. They were on the roll. At least one of their key leaders - Zhukov - was looking for any excuse to keep plowing through the rest of Europe.
