Georgy Zhukov, the great strategic military Red Army genius who organized the defences of Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad and participated in the planning of the Battle of Kursk, Operation Bagration, the Vistula–Oder Offensive, and the Battle of Berlin was, in light of his unparalleled role in the victory over the Nazis, chosen to accept the official German Surrender, and inspect the Moscow Victory Parade. He did this on a white stallion.
