I'm currently studying abelian groups in Kurosh's The Theory of Groups. I'm trying to understand the proof of the theorem:
Let $B \leqq A$ be abelian groups. If $A/B \cong C$ and $C$ is a free group, then $A\cong B \oplus C$
Kurosh gives a proof on page 144, though I don't quite follow these steps, and am looking for some more detail. I have looked at Manipulating quotients and direct sums of abelian groups, and the answer is certainly helpful, but still does not include a full proof. Both seem to suggest constructing a subgroup of generating elements, but I can't seem to figure out what the isomorphism would look like. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
