Thank you for the link.
I have objections against the German losses Glantz is giving (probably from Soviet sources ):I think he is counting the Germans who became POW after the capitulation ,but that is meaningless :the whole Japanese army became POW in september 1945 ,I don't think one should count them as casualties .
Some additional figures of German CL(rough numbers )
1941 830000 of which 220000 death and missing
1942 1100000 280000death and missing
1943 1500000 500000 death and missing
1944 2000000 1000000 death and missing
The POW are included in the missing,but there are no reliable figures for the numbers of POW
Cheers
I have read one of the articles that you indicated. The 5.4 million casualties numbers are right since they fit with the replacements numbers and the numbers in the front for several time periods. I wonder if the soviets had casualties statistics with the same degree of precision.
