The lowest claimed lifespan I've seen for Stalingrad was 24 hours. Aside from it being a hard thing to calculate, they're meaning to tell me the entire warfront is that much more dangerous than the battle that leveled a city and had brutal room-to-room fighting throughout? This is as absurd at the claimed death-tolls of protesters in Iran.

    I don't even think the casualties announced by this CIA clown were that high on the first day of the Somme in 1916. You had people running straight into machine gun fire and artillery across open ground trying to overwhelm the enemy into running out of munitions.
