Wikipedia literally quotes Soviet archives. If that is center right, I’m curious to know what is left.
Okay, then go find other sources for these numbers:
Number of axis troops invading France Number of French and British commonwealth troops during the initial defense of France
Number of axis troops invading the Soviet Union Number of Soviet troops during the initial defense of the Soviet Union
I suspect that anything right of the Soviet archives won’t be good enough for you. And even those are embarrassing.
The point of this exercise is for you to find the numbers and experience a moment of self reflection. What I think of the credibility of the numbers doesn’t matter.
You won’t though. One has to wonder why?
I already did, first back in school and latest yesterday to check what sources the wiki used. Somehow the numbers haven’t changed in all those years.
And you think the numerically inferior soviet troops -who did better than the larger more mechanized and better equipped French and British troops- while also fighting a larger better equipped force demonstrates…
“better” lol
Have you actually studied ww2? France fell in weeks. So yeah the Soviets did better.
The soviets lost more than half of the total population of France, so hard to call it better.
