Wrong.
The tactic of Red Army was improving and developing all the war.
The desperate tactic of 1941 was determined by the shortage of everything, but MOSTLY the real lack of commander’s experience.
Facing the strongest army of the world, they tryed to do what they can. Very bad , but they tryed.
The tactic of 1943-45 was seriously differ from the previous battle.
The strong Mechanized Armor steamroller with intensive Artillery support.
of course you are wrong about Human wave attack- this was one of the Basic method , that if applied right, get the amazing great resault.
But this methods work ONLY in close interaction with Artillery support and Aviation.Like it stat to work enough perfectly since the 1944.
BTW the push from the Oder , is the Battle of Berlin i guess?
Relax buddy , the total death of the Red Army was about 81 000 from about 2,5 mln of troops imvolved.
Soviet had a total 3,5x1 advantage in strength
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Berlin
Just 3,2% of dead mortality.
For the comparition US lost about 12,5 from 500 000 in Okinawa, i.e. 2,5 %
Having almost 5x1 advantage.
SO as you see the mortality rate was a very close in both armies when the Battles were really hot.
You suggestion about 300 000 of lost is nothing more than simple “brain speculation” that indeed proves nothing.
May be you don’t know but even during the Agust storm ( the liqudation of Kwantung Army for few weeks) the soviet also used the Human wave attack agains suicidal mashin-gunners.But those mashine-gunners had not a much chances coz Soviet artillery fu…d them off before they could make the sensitive casualties
50,000,000 is the figure quoted by “Military History Quarterly”, a sterling publication that makes no attempt to fudge figures. Many of these people died of STARVATION, as the Russian industrial machine turned out only certain products in quantity, at the expense of FOOD.
The 50 mln is probably the total Demographic decrease of Soviet population during the 1941-45 , that include the people , that could be born if 26 mln killed , can survive.
You guys seek to justify such a butchers bill …there is no justification for a poorly mismanaged military force, one that was much stronger in many ways than the German Army.
You man seek the way to slander our brave ancestors.
So you have no any chance, honeslty.
Most SOVIET generals would have been pensioned off years before…too many political apointees and not enough practiced professionals…
Most of soviet generals would have been purged out of army ( as it really happened in 1937-38) But new generation of professional officers that has come on their places had no any chance to get such brillians experience lake Germans got in 1939-41.
The SOviet were prepeared well in materials, wearponry and ets in 1941.
But they still have a lack of serious practice work, thay probably can beat the any army ( even the Japanes in 1938) but they faced the MOST strong Army of the World in 1941.
Russians should be justly proud of the common soldier, and correspondingly damning of their leadership.
Brings to mind an old saying about the British Army…it applys equally to the Red Army of 1940-1945…
“LIONS lead by IDIOTS”
This is foolish point that indeed has any sense in practice.
Just do not tell that YOU CAN win without your Generals.
Each army is as much good as their generals.The even most brave soldiers can not stooped the enemy without correspond professional leadership.
And lack of Soviet High comman in 1941 has clearly demonstrated it.
there were the all sorts of Hight officers in Red Army - from the stoopid to the very professional ones( as in any other army of world).
And people actualy loved some of them- for instance Chyikov ( commander of 62 army that saved Stalingrad) , Chernijahovskiy, Rokossovskij and many others.
True the were a certain generals lik a a Zukov who was too harsh and direct. But in fact, the peoples oppinion didn’t consider him as a “butcher”. Many former soviet soldier in their memours remember their BEST commander with a good words.
This is not my oppinion but our veterans.
Many of soviet generals have been responsible for catastrophe of 1941, many have bee executed by the military tribunal.
But true is that the many of them lead by the Army in 1944-45 with great professionalism and success.
So your foolish rusophobia is just a paranoia.
Drop the shit at other people, your for instance, not at my
