  1. according to wikipedia the soviets mobilized 30mio men during ww2 in addition to the 5mio they started out with.(they probably had more, russians and statistics never go hand in hand) so your numbers seen mightily wrong.

  2. 1945 the germans capitulated. why do you ask stupid questions about why the germans are not inflicting a higher ratio to the soviets? half the german army capitulate to the soviets. that's why, you moron. if you subtract that 1mio. you get a ratio of 1:1. keep in mind that at this time the soviets outnumber the germans on the eastern front by a factor of 5 to 10. a quick look into wikipedia shows the red army started the war with 5-7million and conscripted additional 30mio for a total of ca 35 million men. your numbers are simply wrong. if your enemy has 5-10 times as many men and material (tanks, artillery) as you and more equipment and you still kill as many of them as they kill from your side. that's pretty good. soviets probably had 2 or 3 times as many losses as they show in their statistics. as they say in russia. everything is political.

  3. I went to university and they never taught us that. what a waste of time that would be. the 30 million +5 million seems ok to me. probably even lower since it's a soviet statistic. so either your soviet casualty numbers are off by a factor of 2 or your numbers for the size of the soviet army is off by 5 million. it just doesn't make sense. but that is to be expected when you use russian books. thanks for telling your source but *Kavalerchik, B. The Price of Victory: The Red Army’s Casualties in the Great Patriotic War. is a book you might a well use as a paper weight. if you make snide remarks about wikipedia but use this book as a source I can't help you.

  4. the book you based your statistic on is a russian propaganda book, do you realize that? it's a translation of a russian book that is essentially nothing more than some essays coupled together. all in line with the usual russian/soviet narrative that "russian/soviet soldiers are the best soldiers, germans only killed civilians and captured soldiers and the great patriotic war was glorious and not at all shameful. with that conclusion here are the numbers to match..." the problem is those numbers don't add up.

  5. hey everyone. the statistic he used are largely from a russian propaganda book called *Kavalerchik, B. The Price of Victory: The Red Army’s Casualties in the Great Patriotic War. so keep that in mind. none of those numbers are correct. I bet you everything.

  6. +TIK but you rely only on one source. the soviets drafted 30 million men during ww2, in addition to the 5-6 million they started out with. your numbers don't add up to that number. no idea why you didn't even check such an obvious discrepancy.

  7. that last sentence doesn't make much sense to me. germans don't outnumber germans?
