1943 1442000
1944 2000000
For 1941:27 weeks :an average of 30000 a week
For 1942:20000 weekly
For 1943:30000 weekly (luftwaffe losses are not included )
For 1944:40000 weekly
About the Russian Casualties :my figures are from Krivosheev :Total losses minus sick and frostbites
I thin k it is wrong not to count wounded ,otherwise you have as German casualties in the East for 1941 only 22OOOO men,and that's is giving a wrong picture .
Of the wounded:a lot were mutilated and discharged from the army,ex a soldier who lost 2 legs is for the army the same as a death,others recovered but were unfit for front service and others were at the date in qiestion ,ex 31 december 1941 still in hospital .
The ratio between German and Soviet losses was (rough figures )
1941 :1:5
1942 :1:6
1943 :1:4.5
1944:1:3
For 1945 there are no reliable figures for the German losses
