Throughout the period June-November 1944, the Germans had on average about 3/4 of their divisions on the Eastern Front.

I can't believe anyone would seriously argue that the Russians did not carry the brunt of the ground war against the Germans.

You people seem to think that I'm denigrating our military. I'm not. The argument is primarily about British and French military history.

Of course they did. That is because of geography. The Germans had a great many troops right in Russia's doorstep. Russia had millions of troops also. For them to kill a couple hundred thousand is not out of the ordinary when looked in that light. The Allies had a little bit harder time of it to get troops into the field, there was no way they could kill so many Germans as the Russians did because the Germans came to them en masse.
