@TG:
30 mil. agansit just germany or with th japs?
No, i’m talking about Eastern Front Stats. Anybody willing to research it for me?
Its hard to find exact stats for Russian military strength during WW2.
In a book I’ve have at home its states that the Germany had expected to fight 200 Russian divisions. In December 41 they had counted over 360 divisions with more still coming.
The more I look into it TG, the more accurate your 30 million seems.
Over the coarse of the war anyhow. -
I wish I had never thrown out some WWII articles I use to have… :(

oh, ok then

No, the rough part is that we’re lacking information!!! :)
-
well I don’t think there are any acurate figers for the soveits
-
It’s not that bad, it’s just that they don’t want to release that sort of information. But the Germans kept pretty good records.
-
no see that the soveits put there figures to high
-
Not really, the difference between offical German and Russian records is only +/- 10% :-?
-
10% is a lot
-
It still is… but nearly not as much as some people point it to be. (ie, 300 fighters were shot down when only 25 were offically recorded). this happened a lot in the European Air War in the Western Front.
-
ya I guess it isnt a big difference as I had expected
-
Not in military recording keeping it is. :)
-
what?
-
Well when compare opposing stats between two warring countries there are of course going to be discrepancies between the official records. So 10% isn’t that bad… at least not compared to ancient history. :)

oh

I read that German losses in World War 2 were 5.2 million while the soviets suffered the most 13.1 million out of the 52 million (including civilians) casualties in World War 2.
-
Hmmm… in some cases I’ve read the Germans numbers lower and the Soviet numbers higher…

demonstrating an increasing need for accuracy for reporting losses/kills, etc. in order for greater intel.
