Yes but I've heard Russian casualties placed anywhere from 100K to over 1 million. I was always a little suspicious that some of the ever inflating numbers were intended to help generate/maintain sympathetic western views towards Soviet occupation.

Within the past two weeks, someone--henkster, if memory serves--wrote here that the Russians suffered 11 million casualties in all of WW2 (not just in the Berlin assault), if I understood correctly.

Thanks. The 11 million is about what I too understood Soviet military losses to have been for the war.
