Subdeacon Joe 24,757 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 How many made it back Roughly half. And a fair number were still prisoners into at least the 1950s. Soviet losses were appalling. Over 800,000 kia. Over 3 million wounded. And over 3 million captured. And over 21,000 aircraft and 20,000 tanks destroyed. Soviets taken prisoner by the Nazis had something like an 80% mortality rate. Link to post Share on other sites
