You’re welcome. While those casualties are not as high as some inflated western sources, they are still around 15% of all of the involved forces. They are also considerably higher than the casualties suffered by the American army in the Battle of the Bulge. You cannot extrapolate these figures to determine what American casualties would have been if we had tried to take Berlin. The Americans and Soviets fought differently. And the so did the Germans depending on who they were fighting.
