Soviet casualties in fall of Sevastopol 1942
Hi, German claimed that they took 95,000 Soviet POW. But Soviet garrision numbered about 106,000 men and about 25,000 were evacuated plus some being killed, I guess at least over 10,000 were killed as German and Romanian had over 6,200 being killed. So did Soviet had statistics on their actual casualties in seige of Sevastopol during June 1942 ?

Common information is 106000 military personnel in Sevastopol on 1 June 1942 and 23500 reinforcements received during June. About 18000 wounded and 3000 non-wounded personnel were evacuated after 1.06 (seems like numbers from different sources vary a bit). So you can arrive to more than 100000 men that were killed or went missing including a large number of wounded captured at hospitals.

If I remember correctly the Soviets relied heavily on the Black Sea Fleet to shuttle in reinforcements to the garrison. That might have had some effect on the amount of casualties considering the amount of troops there fluctuated during the initial siege.
