3,000 casualties would likely be somewhere in the range of 600-800 killed. Not many cities with a population of 6 million have ever been taken from a hostile force with attacking casualties that low. None, in fact. I think you're wrong. There's always the French...and Paris.

The French in World War II surrendered before German troops entered Paris.
In August-September 1914 the Germans suffered over a million casualties just trying to get near Paris...which they never entered.
