Not sure how you came up with that, but it seems pretty "off".

How about mentioning that the Luftwaffe Flak arm that was tasked to defend against the bombing campaign was the same size as the entire German Army's artillery park? Maybe mention the more than 1 million men it took to clean up German cities? Just to name 2 major issues among at least a dozen not mentioned.

It was less than 8 out of 10, and that accounts for Army Soldiers, not Luftwaffe, or Kriegsmarine. Also, what that stat doesn't consider is that the majority of German losses in the East came after the war was basically decided and they were collapsing. If you look at years 1941 through early 1944, the Soviets and Western Allies were more like 50/50. Details matter.

@not_retr0 Reality check. The Soviets captured 3.2 million German Soldiers, of which 1.92 million ever came home. The Germans lost 5.3 million men in the war or never returned, 4 million are from the Eastern front and that is the origin of the 80% fallacy. If 1.3 million of the 4 were POWs that didn't survive, that's only 2.7 million lost in combat. So now it's 67% of German Soldiers lost to the Red Army. Then there's the issues of when. The Germans lost 1 million men KIA defending the Eastern front and Berlin in 1945 alone, when the war was basically decided. So that's 1.7 million German Soldiers between 22 June 1941 and 31 December 1944. Its pretty close to 50/50 in terms of meaningful operations.

@petervote7914 Cool story, but just a piece of the pie and by no means anything more than just a piece.
