Yes, exactly. But just because Soviets poured more men against the Germans, does that automatically make their contribution FAR greater then those of the western allies?, say America or Canada for example. Not to mention, Americans and Canadians were fighting someone elses war. Now, just relating that to this Indo-Chin debate here, same thing happened with China, sure China did tie down the Japs, but does that automatically make their contribution more significant then India's which fielded the world's largest all-volunteer army and lost over a million people in a war which was not even ours?!
