Russian sacrifices were great. BUT due to the political systems envolved
U.S./British/German/Japanese troops were arguably better trained. (hense
russian=i.g. "cheap" troops) The gruops who could ill afford heavy losses
were Germans, Japanese, British in that order. The U.S. and Russian were not
short on manpower.
