Total casualties on the Eastern Front since the start of BARBAROSSA now number 266,352 with Army Group Centre having 88,400 of those casualties.

After six weeks. You were right about that, PzLdr. The eastern front is like no other.

Even assuming that 40% of these casualties are deaths it means in 6 weeks, over 100,000 German soldiers have been killed. That’s around one quarter of the total number of American military dead for the entire war. And right now, the Soviets soldiers are suffering even greater losses. The Eastern Front truly is a bloodbath.
