description: "He survived Stalin's torture cells with broken teeth and missing fingernails, walked back into command, then led the armies that broke the Wehrmacht at Stalingrad and Kursk. Rokossovsky was the general who couldn't be killed—not by his own side, not by the Germans."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born to a Polish noble family in Warsaw in 1896, Rokossovsky fought in the Imperial Russian Army during World War I, joined the Red Army in 1918, and rose to senior command by 1937—when Stalin's Great Purge branded him a traitor, threw him in prison, and tortured him. Released in 1940 after Soviet failures in the Winter War, he returned to lead an army corps, then commanded the 16th Army in the defense of Moscow in 1941. He defeated the Axis at Stalingrad in early 1943, played a vital role at Kursk that summer, and was promoted to Marshal of the Soviet Union in June 1944 after planning parts of Operation Bagration. His forces reached the outskirts of Warsaw by July 1944 before command transferred to Zhukov; Rokossovsky then led the 2nd Belorussian Front into Germany and final victory. After the war he commanded Soviet forces in Poland, became Marshal of Poland and Defence Minister of the Polish People's Republic in 1949, and served as deputy chairman of its Council of Ministers until forced out in 1956, when he returned to the Soviet Union and lived there until his death in 1968.
