  2. About the same loss rate that some American units suffered at Tarawa, but on a much, much larger scale (like, company losses versus divisional losses).

  5. 37:15. It suddenly struck me that Chuikov says he went and sat in his jeep. Had the Americans sent Lend-Lease jeeps to Russia by this time? Just curious if this is a mistranslation or not.
