Maybe 10 million combat deaths; the 20 million figure for total Soviet dead is way old - and a product of Soviet propaganda. The actual figure, released after the USSR fell and the archives were opened up, was about 26 million. They wanted to hide their weakness, which was that they were utterly exhausted and bled white.
