From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Okay, as requested by me on the Military History Project, I have started this article. I will get back to it and add to it over the coming weeks. Everybody else feel free to chip in. Andreas 13:16, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Soviet Commander
Tolbukhin and Malinovsky commanded the Fronts, but Timoshenko was the STAVKA representative, is that not correct? Andreas 18:44, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Casualties
Please, don't tell me you're saying Soviets lost only 13,000 KIA, while Germany and Romania would have lost 430,000 KIA as the template says. Yes, Romania's troops were quite bad, but Soviet having less casualties is rare. This much less? Impossible. Yeah the article says this also, but how was this possible then? Sources? --Pudeo (Talk) 00:18, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

- Actually the casualties are low the German ones that is by at least 50% and take notice that only dead and captured are listed not wounded if you add wounded you get +75% of 1.5 of the numbers listed. In 1944 the Soviet war machine was winning everywhere and hard too. 1944 is not 1941, in 1944 the Germans on all fronts lost 2 million men and that is just the Germans. It is possible if you look at what was actually happening in the war by then and Soviets have less casualties is not rare in 1994 but the rule only a few battle, small ones did they get more casualties and everyone of those has an article 50 pages long but the overall picture was highly favorable for the Soviets in 1944 and even more is in 1945. No one in the German cam wanted to write about what happened in 43 let alone 44 and 45 because those stories where neither memorable or glorious like the battles of 41 42 so most books of that time either apologize for the crimes that the Nazis’ did or blame everything on Hitler. The sources which are plain to see for anyone are at the bottom of the pagePotaaatos 14:27, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
