The above-linked page explains how Hitler was mind-controlled by British via Illuminati techniques. Hopefully I just spared several millions of your brain cells from needless death.

1-9 May 1945:
http://s47.radikal.ru/i115/1007/65/d9009a8680e2.jpg
These are the same data that were given on the first page of the thread.
For comparison losses for the period 1-10 April 1945:
http://s60.radikal.ru/i169/1007/8f/c21b91c21934.jpg
During the first 10 days of April the front lost 1277 men killed in action (+10 in the Polish Army), 3364 wounded (+43), 35 missing (+1), 4268 for other reasons - sick etc (+228), total 8944 (+282 in the Polish Army).

These numbers seem about right. Thanks for sharing.

Between this and the other figures on the new Tiger thread, I was wondering if there are detailed loss stats for Russian armoured units in 1944 like this on that site. Are there?

It depends on the individual case, uploaded docs are fragmented.

Can you check this kill claim?

http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=215545

It concerns the losses of the 11th Tank Corps on 7 & 8 July 1944. According the the reports by the 5th SS Panzer division, it destroyed 103 tanks of this unit for minimal loss on those days.

Personnel casualties of the 1 Ukrainian Front in April 1945
Killed in action - 20 050
Wounded - 74 339
Missing in action - 2 404
Other (non-battle) - 8 483
Total 105 276.
Source: appendix to the war diary of the 1 UF (TsAMO RF, f.236, op.2673, d.2583, l.314)

Personnel casualties 1 UF 10-20.04.45 (A. Isaev, 2007 with reference to TsAMO RF, f.236, op.2673, d.2508, l.41)
Killed - 6 024
Wounded - 25 204
Missing - 310
Sick and other - 2 925
Total 34 447 men

Personnel casualties 1 UF 20-30.04.45
(A.Isaev with reference to TsAMO RF, f.236, op.2673, d.2508, l.44)
Killed - 11 608
Wounded - 42 711
Missing - 1 967
Sick and other - 2 925
Total 59 211 men

One can calculate from the numbers above that casualties in ten days 1-10 April were about 12 000 including 9 000 battle casualties, which seems a reasonable number.

Casualties of the 1 Ukrainian Front 1-10 May 1945:
Killed - 5 086
Wounded - 15 774
Missing - 1 890
Other - 2 647
Total 25 397 men.
Source: appendix to the war diary of 1 Ukrainian Front (TsAMO RF, f.236, op. 2673, d. 2617, l.191)
That includes a considerable backlog from the previous period (see the number of missing, for example).

Sum of casualties in a month 10 April - 10 May 1945:
Killed - 22 718
Wounded - 83 689
Missing - 4 167
Others - 8 481
Total 119 055
That must include Berlin and Prague operations, and also fighting in Breslau and Silesia.

For comparison from Krivosheev ("Soviet casualties and combat losses") 1 UF losses in the Berlin strategic operation (16.4-8.5.45) were 27 580 irrevocable and 86 245 medical, total 113 825 men. 1 UF losses in the Prague offesnive operation (6-11.5.45) - 6 384 irrevocable and 16 999 medical, total 23 383. Sum of both operations - 33 964 irrevocable and 103 244 medical, total 137 208 men.
Conclusion: Kirvosheev's numbers are too high and must involve some double counting. Kirvosheev's stats for the Berlin operation look like casualties of the entire 1 Ukrainian Front From 15 April to 10 May 1945, which means a certain overestimation (inclusion of losses in Silesia, Czechia and Breslau).
