the ratio 1 killed to 3 wounded in combat holds true for the axis minors considering the whole war not independent operations.
one thing that stands out is that even as devastating as it was, the battle of STALINGRAD only amounts to a small percentage of the total casualties suffered by the axis minors throughout the war.
another thing that gets overlooked is the fact that soviets took prisoners of war even after armed hostilities has ceased . for instance after 23 aug 1944 Romanian troops no longer fired on the soviets and were at a shooting war with German troops on our soil , the red army kept taking romanian pow well into September when the armistice was put in paper.
