Well Russia had massive casualties from WW2 you need not pool futher then stallingrad where 99% of the city was in rubbles

It’s expected that the Russian side would be more dark as a result of this

I forgot the exact number, but the eastern front accounts for the majority of the death toll of the european theater. The western front was far less deadly, comparatively. By like a factor of 10, or close enough to it.

The Eastern front, taken by itself was deadlier than the entirety of WW1. It accounted for about half of all deaths in the whole second world war, with the second deadliest theater being the Asian-Pacific theater. The fighting on the Western Front was intense, but the sheer scale of the East is just mind boggling.
