When germany declare war on soviet in 41, it will then be like a walk in the park to defeat them. If you then add a war with bulgaria (start justifying directly after germany attack poland) and attacking finland, using same generals, they should all be lvl 4. they will also earned traits and will have free upgrades for you to select. the generals will be upgraded to lvl 3 (+20-80% towards lvl 4) or lvl 4, while field marshals are around lvl 3 (+/- 30%). I take my time to kill all their divisions, making sure i get as much xp and leader xp as possible. all generals and field marshals are lvl 1 (could alt. i use a total of 5 armies (24 division each), set under 2 field marshals (newly promoted). When i play soviet, i always declare war on turkey (which is guaranteed by romania) and hungary. Lvl 1 generals earn skill quite fast, and will also earn traits easier (they earn traits much much easier than higher skilled generals. If you want to let your generals earn traits and give them upgrades, you should use your lvl 1-2 generals instead of using lvl 4-5.
