The Battle of Stalingrad. Human losses of the Red Army and the Wehrmacht. Myths and reality

The victorious outcome of the Battle of Stalingrad was the result of unbending resistance, courage and heroism of the Soviet troops, supported by the heroic population of Stalingrad. It would seem that the superiority of the Red Army over the Wehrmacht in this battle is obvious, but all the post -war time former German generals, a number of Western historians and some domestic authors are stubbornly trying to sow doubts about the greatness of the Stalingrad Victory, to belittle the feat of Soviet troops mainly due to the exaggeration of our losses. In the publications of the latter, completely awkward figures of the ratio of losses of the Red Army and Wehrmacht in the Battle of Stalingrad are called. Thus, the doctor of philology Boris Sokolov in the books of the “Miracle of Stalingrad "and" Truth and the myths of the Second World War” claims that in the Battle of Stalingrad, the irrevocable losses of the Soviet troops were 9.8 times higher than the loss of the Wehrmacht.
In the proposed book, the existing assessments of human losses in the battles near Stalingrad and on a single conceptual basis are critically calculated the irrevocable losses of Soviet and German troops in the Battle of Stalingrad. The obtained estimates of losses refute the existing opinion about the “multiple excess of human losses of the Red Army over the losses of the Wehrmacht "in the Battle of Stalingrad.
Particular attention in the book is paid to the exposure of myths, falsifications and speculations in relation to human losses of Soviet and German troops in the Battle of Stalingrad: about the "huge" numerical superiority of the Red Army over the troops of the Wehrmacht, about the "inhumanity" of order No. 227, about " unsurpassed "military skill and the superiority of German military thought and practice of troops, as well as in detail the Wehrmacht crimes on Stalingrad land
