I'm not meaning to give more credit to one side. Its just I was part of another forum with a supreme dislike for anyone who picked a German view point so it was hard to get anything out of it besides, Russia rules.

There is a lot of mis infomation out there from all sides, Russian, German, Allied etc. The point of this forum is to try to correct these myths and im sure that if you stick around here a for a bit, you will come to appreciate the tightly nit group of members we got here (with the exception of those damn Texans!
) who are commited to correcting these miss interpretations.....
Not sure what the tank kill ratio between the Germans and Russians really was. I would imagine that in the beginning of the war margine was far greater then it was towards the as the tides had turned and it was now the Germans who virtually suffered from all of the same shortages and set backs which the Red Army had in the beginning. I do know that the ratio of soldiers killed was more on the lines of 2:1 and not 10:1 which other forums claim.
Hope this helps and welcome aboard.
