Hi DJ,

I know you misses me :)

Crazy day in Helsinki. What do they say in Finland?  Helsinki just became a very famous city in the world.

obviously there are agreements on disagreements.
well you need someone covering your flank when China starts so you need us to be neutral at least...

did you know that even during the worst days of CW USSR had more units covering Chinese border than West border?
not much has changed since Wink.

but when I hear that some 1.000 US servicemen came to the Russian border to hold us (showing a flag is cool but won't help at all) I do understand that we don't hear anything about deployments in the Pacific...but where do you have all these Marines withdrawn from Afghan and Iraq?

But of course you love China:
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/china-waging-cold-war-against-u-s-says-cia-asia-n893411

but hate Russia unders sanctions:

well don't even look at the EU stats as somehow a turnover is higher in 2017 than in 2013 before scanctions.

or do they start to think?

but who cares Wink
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias
During World War II, the statistician Abraham Wald took survivorship bias into his calculations when considering how to minimize bomber losses to enemy fire. Researchers from the Center for Naval Analyses had conducted a study of the damage done to aircraft that had returned from missions, and had recommended that armor be added to the areas that showed the most damage. Wald noted that the study only considered the aircraft that had survived their missions—the bombers that had been shot down were not present for the damage assessment. The holes in the returning aircraft, then, represented areas where a bomber could take damage and still return home safely. Wald proposed that the Navy instead reinforce the areas where the returning aircraft were unscathed, since those were the areas that, if hit, would cause the plane to be lost.[10][11][not in citation given] His work is considered seminal in the then-fledgling discipline of operational research.

Cheers,

Just for information

12.SS didn't have Grille.
21.Pz didn't have pak38.
21.Pz didn't have PzIIIN
346.ID didn't have pak36(r)
346.ID didn't have STuGs in June
346.ID didn't have Marder I
if they use sFH13 for 21.Pz why not using Hummels for 12.SS and PLD? same indirect arty vehicles.

and so much more like where did they get Veterans in 21Pz or where did they take 3.7cm AA guns from in IDs but well no one cares though good to see BfC still influences a lot Wink

Dima, could you please share your sources?

mainly the Assault of Kenigsberg (January - April 1944) by E.Shilovsky and the G.Kretinin's research (posted by Stwa).

From Encyclopedia Brtiannica;

In World War II, however, it was virtually destroyed by the Red Army after a two-month siege ending in April 1945.


Would Otto Lasch's comment on casualties not been inclusive of atleast those two months? Why would he say 42,000 KIA in just those three days? With the total amount of men he had under his command surrounded in the pocket during the siege, if he lost 42,000 of them in three days and 92,000 surrendered on the 9th, it leaves very little room for casualties preceding the three day assault. Dima?

Hi Mooxe,

the active combat against the city of Kenigsberg ended in February 1944. After that the RKKA units were mainly clearing area north and south of it where the Germans lost even more than inside the city.
but all reports agree that before second half of April 7th the German command tried hard to keep communal services working, even factories were running so it's a good assumption that all the dead in those 2 months were burried well.

what I actually missed is that before the actual assault there was prelimentary artillery strikes for destruction for 4 days since April 1st:

1.169 guns (including 472 heavy - >152mm) in 39A for 8km of front.
1.289 guns (596 heavy) in 43A for 5km of front.
957 guns (471 heavy) in 50A for 5km of front.
1.584 guns (819 heavy) in 11GvA for 8km of front.

guess that led to a lot of casualties even before the actual assault on April 6th.

also the good portion of casualties could be inflicted by the Soviet aviation that started to bomb massively after the weather became good on the morning of April 7th:

Since 10:00 - 102 bombers with 338t of bombs dropped.
Since 13:00 - 506 bombers with 550t of bombs dropped.

altogether 1.248t of bombs on April 7th.

also on April 8th the garrison units got an order to break through to the west to connect with the German 4th army which was repulsed with huge German casualities by aviation and defending units of 39A.

So basically by April 8th there wasn't a solid defence in the city but mainly groups not connected to each other that were assaulted by assault groups with heavy artillery and tanks/SPGs.

Btw losses of AVFs were:

1) 43A:
T34 - 4 burned, 1 drove on landmine, 6 stuck.
ISU-122 - 2 burned, 2 drove on landmines, 1 stuck.
ISU-152 - 3 burned, 3 KO, 3 drove on landmines, 2 stuck.
SU-76 - 1 burned.

2) 50A:
T34 - 5 burned, 7 KO, 4 drove on landmine, 2 stuck.
ISU-122 - 3 burned, 2 KO.
ISU-152 - 5 KO.

3) 11GvA:
T34 - 5 burned, 3 KO, 10 stuck.
ISU-122 - 1 stuck.
ISU-152 - 3 burned, 11 KO, 7 stuck.
SU-76 - 11 burned, 4 KO, 1 drove on landmine, 1 stuck.

Doesn't look much either, does it?

What WW2 docs?

The references of the RA units. 10 days casualty reports.
if you have other documents proving the numbers I use wrong, please provide.

Quote:
You reference the rapes? You usually present a pretty good argument. This is not. The casualty numbers you listed are so lopsided that supporting references would be useful.

I don't have the explanation of only 4.500 wounded so I think they didn't take much POWs in the first days of assault.

funny thing is that the Russian archives were mainly digitalized in last years so generally you can trace all the casualties.
https://www.obd-memorial.ru/html/index.html - not sure if it works in English but you can just search for Kenigsberg and find all the casualty reports (something like that https://www.obd-memorial.ru/html/info.htm?id=4253236).

In 1942 it was ok for the Germans to loose 20-30men killing hundreds of RA soldiers and taking hundreds as POW, In 1945 it was just opposite.

I find the stats hard to believe to. Usually you have sources Dima, where are they? Why no wounded for Germans? Why so little stats for Russians?

btw altogether there were approximately 5.500 corpses buried in RKKA uniform but they were collected all around Kenigsberg.
and Otto Lasch the the commander of the Kenigsberg defence reported 33,8K KIA on first intorregation right after surrender of the city.

@Dima - yes Soviet Army was very efficient towards late war especially in '45 and did not have to rely on human wave attacks that were used in early war to end of Stalingrad. But I disagree with your stats.  Krauts were dug-in and well prepared with their defensive positions.  I highly doubt RA only suffered 3500 KIA.

you can disagree on whatever you want.
my stats are WW2 docs.
