It is a mistake to look at just human casualties, it is like saying the Americans didn't do much fighting in the first gulf war because they only lost ~500 men. It lost the war when it failed to keep the sea lanes closed and the combined allied powers brought their overwhelming production down on it. The narrative that Germany lost the entire war on the eastern front is wrong. If you include the impact of (pre)production losses to the allied air campaign then an overwhelming majority of German production was destroyed by the western allies, even if you discount any land units the Germans deployed against the western allies.Īs an example: In the 2 months (July and August) that Kursk took place the German losses on the entire eastern front, in terms of operational aircraft and armored fighting vehicles, represented only ~3% of their total weapons output for 1943. The majority of the German airforce, almost all of it's navy both surface and submarine, the great majority of their anti air equipment and their V weapons program (which was way too expensive for what it accomplished) were directed against and destroyed by the western allies. Most of their total production was deployed against the western allies Equipment for the Germany land army was only a small part of their industrial potential. This map is interactive!
