Stalin was moron,
but he did had best generals of the war.

Lets not forget that Roosevelt asked Stalin for second front against Japan too.

And the Generals' reward after the war was demotion, in the case of Zhukov.

In retrospect, it's probably a good thing that didn't happen, because a Japanese Civil War would have made the Korean War look like a cakewalk.
