Hungarian casualties[edit]

The 20.000 casualties in the article seems too low and it is disturbingly looks like the classical number of 200.000 casualties without the additional 0.

"During its twelve months of activity on the Russian front, the Second Hungarian Army's losses were enormous. Of an initial force of about 200,000 Hungarian soldiers and 50,000 Jewish forced-laborers, about 100,000 were dead, 35,000 wounded, and 60,000 taken prisoners of war. Only about 40,000 men returned to Hungary, scapegoated by Hitler for the catastrophic Axis defeat. "No nation lost as much blood during World War II in such a short period of time." - Second Army (Hungary)

According to Hungarian articles (example in Hungarian - [1]) the 2nd army lost cca. 25000 men in the summer battles, so that means cca. 200.000 casualties in this offensive.

If this is not credible enough I will try to find a source with page number etc. in Krisztian Ungvary's monograph book about the Hungarian Army in the ww2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.132.184.132 (talk) 07:04, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
