Firstly, Germany's World War 2 losses are considerably higher than what he claims. More than 6 million dead German soldiers, airmen and sailors. Some estimates put the death toll as high as 12 million killed German combatants. When the population toll is also included the death toll is even higher. Russians losses were quite high not because the Red Army was "inferior", but because the Russians had to fight not only against the Germans, but also against the armies of Germany's satellites: Finland, Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain, Nazi volunteers from Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, the Netherlands, Norway, France and even Vlasov's Russian armies fighting for Germany. Considering the fact that Germany alone had allocated a full 80 percent of its forces to their Eastern Front and added the armies or its satellites, the Soviet Union faced a gigantic, overwhelming enemy force of millions armed with tens of thousands of tanks, artillery pieces, warplanes, etc., etc. Secondly, there were Stalin's terrible purges of the late 1930's that had "decapitated" the Red Army of its best officers leaving it weakened. Thirdly, Stalin's "war tactics" of sending large "human waves" of soldiers to do battle with little regard for the lives and safety of the soldiers. Those reasons inevitably increased the death toll of Soviet Red Army combatants.
