I'm just wondering if anyone has any numbers on the total tank losses, and hopefully by kind besides the ones I found on the net.
From Zaloga's Red Army Handbook
He gives a total of 83,500 total tank losses during the war.
And some surmise that he got this info from "Grif Sekretnosti Sniat", from Krivosheev.
The list he had was
1941 - 20, 500 tanks lost
1942 - 15,000 tanks and 100 Assault guns lost
1943 - 22,400 tanks and 11,000 Assault guns lost
1944 - 16,900 tanks and 6,800 Assault guns lost
1945 - 8,700 tanks and 5,000 Assault guns lost
So if you add these together thats 83,500 tanks and 13,000 Assault guns lost.
I don't have these two books, but I am looking to find and buy them somewhere at the moment to double check this from the post I found that stated these numbers and sources.
But in the meantime is there any book or net site that might break down thse numbers further so I could find the losses for each type? And if anyone here has either ot both these books, are these the right numbers as stated in the books, and is there any other interesting info about theses figures?
Cheers, thanks for any help here in advance!!
Tom
