Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Right into the teeth of the Uzbekistan Bob Mosin-Nagant Brigade. Hurry back to the wire, Comrade Utah Bobski.
Subdeacon Joe Posted June 23, 2011 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.
