Soviet casualties in the Nikopol–Krivoy Rog Offensive

[Virginian]

Is there a source where I could find information on Soviet casualties in the Nikopol–Krivoy Rog Offensive? Krivosheev lumps it into the Dnieper-Carpathian Strategic Offensive, and for ideological reasons no other Soviet secondary sources that I am aware of mention the figures.

[Der Alte Fritz]

You are either looking at Soviet sources, modern Russian sources or David Glantz's Forgotten Battles series.

The Dnieper-Carpathian Strategic Operation (covering 4 months) is the over arching terms for some 10 Operations (geographically seperated and each lasting a month) covering the first months of 1944. I do not think that there is anything ideological about Krivosheev using the Strategic Operation to cover this period, the famous battles are adequately covered while the less famous ones are not.

The Nikopol-Krivoy Rog Offensive is one of these and in Volume 6 Part III of Forgotten Battles, David Glantz says that this was a successful operation and that there are only two Operations in this series that have been forgotten. The number of Personal Reminisences would point to it being a successful engagement as well, so I just think that it gets lost in the mass of detail for this period:

There is no coverage in VIZh or Military Thought or the General Staff Studies (Sborniki materios or voenno).
