That the Russians in ww2 lost about 13 MILLION soldiers, and another 13 MILLION civillians..

While Germany, about 2 million.

I think you will find that the total loses for the Russians during WW2 was around 22 million, so you can understand that they got a bit ratty with the Germans. Most of the Russian POW were used by the Germans as slave labour and worked them until they died.

ok can somone pls tell me the death count because i thought that 6 million jews died but if 22 million russians died hows that possible if 22 mill died to save 6???? somone clue me in

Those Russians who died did not fight for the jews - they fought for Stalin and Russia. They didn't know about the jews until the first camps were liberated. I doubt the Germans did leak information about their KZ camps to other than the SS and those who needed that information in the HQs.

The Eastern Front was indeed a "no retreat" situation for either parts; fight to the last man, to the last round, fight for each square inch of soil.

The Russians lost 12 million military personal and 17 million civilians. But heres the catch these figures include not only Russians but countries under Soviet Rule, countries like Latvia,Estonia,and Lithuania,and people shot by Stalin and people sent to POW camps. In total the Russians and Russian controled countries lost about 29 million soldiers and civilians in the war. Germany lost 3,250,000 military personal,and 2,445,000 civilians, they lost 5,695,000 people in total, this includes Austria.It is hard to find the amount of just Russian and German deaths during the war.

hope this helps clear things up

any way you look at it thats a load of people.

Russia would not have lost so many if their troops were adequetly equipt and they did not use WWI style tactics of sending your troops running at a barrage of machine gun fire and shooting them if they retreat.

The Russians as well used "cut off troops" following their attacking infantry shooting anyone not following orders.

A Norwegian Legion soldier who fought at the Stalingrad frontline said in an interview they'd capture a 17 year old Russian soldier who didn't dare to return to their own lines (after a failed attack) due to the punishment they faced - that was either a neck shot or a one way ticket to the led mines in Siberia...

Yeah, 26 million is the number I use but I'm pretty sure the number varries a lot... hard to count 23-29 million dead bodies.

The Russians hated the Jews too. The Ukranian Jews where initially happy about the German invasion because they where hopeing the Germans would treat them better than the murderous Russians. Then when the Russians 'liberated' the Ukraine from the Holocausting Germans, they slaughtered entire villiages of Jews.

Like my friend said in gym class:

"You run like a Italian soldier! I run like a Russian, right at the guns!"
