Presentations

The Rzhev Pocket and Kursk presentation showed me the huge scale that the battles on the Eastern Front were fought. In the Rzhev Pocket alone the Russian lost 300K plus men and do not forget about the material. The battle of Kursk was fought with about a fifth of the Russian Army at the time. I just find it amazing that the Germans could hold off these types of numbers. I think it all shows that if it was not for Russia’s huge resources they would have lost the war because it seems their main tactic was to overwhelm the enemy with pure numbers.
