Based on what research? Another thing is this does not answer the KIA question and the deaths need to stand in a certain relation. The monthly average KIA for a German Army under high strain is 2,000-2,500, with an encirclement it will multiply by 3, during closure of such a pincer it might rise additionally by the same amount, which is fairly close to my estimate. The OP claimed that there were more than 100k German KIA in the city and did not state that he probably meant deaths - the classification is different and I see people mixing those up a lot. I gave an estimate of KIA for units that were potentially still able to put up a fight before getting captured. The total casualties are 100% because the units are unavailable to the Army, they will be left to their fate (and will most likely die in captivity or perish due to attrition).I hope this gives you an idea of what went on after the battle. This is my research and I stand by these numbers. For the full story....you must wait for my book
I have seen these numbers above they are based on very inaccurate reports, but they make sense in relation to the figure of 170,000 Overmans states, still these are dead not KIA.t was reported that after the battle, some 140,000 dead and frozen Axis troops were picked up from the Stalingrad battlefield and buried
Suffered a whole deal more than who, the Soviet forces? They didn't. It took the Soviets 1,690,500 (with an unknown amount of replacements) taking 1,129,619 casualties (478,741 irrecoverable losses) to fight 600,000 and encircle 300,000 Axis troops.But we should also remember the Axis units surrounded at Stalingrad suffered a great deal more
The average casualty infliction potential of a German soldier vis a Soviet was 6.25, in the face of an encirclement fighting power dimishes by a factor of 2, which yields 3.125. The SQRT of 3,125 is 1.76. Soviet irrecoverable losses were 478,741 divided by 300,000 Axis deaths gives a value of 1.6. Now you do not have to be a genius to see a correlation.
