I have a more fundamental question. How big is an army group? Does the hierarchy go from division, corp, army, and then army group? How many men in an army group?

Also, I remember watching the History Channel talking about the Soviet army in WW2 a few weeks back. The show said Stalin controlled his generals by keeping them competing and seperate from each other. Zhukov had an army group and there was this other guy with another. He would put a dividing line between their army groups and ask them to reach Berlin as fast as they can.

Also, the show mentioned the Soviets called their army groups "fronts." There was the Ukranian Front and the Belarussian Front.
