@istinagy5835 I understand your argument and I don't disagree. I'm just pointing out that these kind of numbers are possible. The only hard numbers I have any trust in personally are Mediazona's numbers for Russian dead. BTW the classification of casualties was a huge issue in the British historiography of the First World War (which I did a masters dissertation on), British and German definitions of who is a casualty were different and raw casualty numbers led historians to underestimate the British success in battles like the Somme.

@istinagy5835 In this kind of static warfare, there will be a lot of casualties from shell splinters and at this time of year, frost bite. Most of these casualties will be quite minor. Not minor enough to safely stay in the line, serious enough to require treatment but minor enough to allow returning to duty after a few days. So it doesn't seem totally impossible.

@Ducks0420 Thanks! Yes Dima's channel tends to have more open minded, better informed listeners than most channels on the war.
