Nazi Germany German:
67,675[12] casualties
(U.S. Estimate: 103,900[13][e] casualties)
527–554[14]tanks, tank destroyers and assault guns lost
c. 800 aircraft lost, at least 500 in December and 280 during Operation Bodenplatte[9]
These Avdiivka numbers are absolutely insane numbers even by any standards. And Russia has 2km to show for it.
