Someone here on FR pointed out that the Russians averaged losing 5000 men a day for the entire war.

I did not think that possible but did some quick figuring and it was true!

That is a low daily figure. It yields about 7,200,000 lost. The Soviets admitted to 20,000,000 lost and some more recent figures range up to 30-35,000,000 lost.

And quite telling was that the Soviets executed more of their own soldiers in ‘41 - ‘42 than we lost in Vietnam.

VDH says that an average of 27,000 died each day during the war. That includes civilians.

Wow! The rona doesn’t even compare!

That sounds about right.

Russkies lost at least 27m.

At some point, as the figures keep climbing and climbing, you'll utter "Mother of God" at the Russian losses.
