- Today, Reuters carried a small news-item on Soviet losses in the
- Battle of Stalingrad. According to RUSSIAN historians (this appeared
- in the TRUD newspaper, a trade union publication), 1.1 million
- Soviet soldiers perished (that's killed, not counting the wounded or
- POWs) in this epic and decisive battle. Also, 13500 Soviet soldiers
- were executed for cowardice. Any comments on these figures? They sound
- reasonable to me. If anyone can provide any more details (names of
- these historians, publications) please do so. Also, what are the
- estimated German (and allied - Italian, Rumanian, Hungarian)
- casualties in this battle?
