The Russians admitted 300,000 casualties with 75,000 dead. Their true number of casualties was certainly much higher, perhaps double the official numbers. The German casualties were estimated at 100,000 military or paramilitary including Volksrum and Hitler youth, along with an additional 175,000 civilian casualties, for a total of 275,000. Again the numbers are most likely low. Some authoritative estimates place the combined number of casualties for all combatants at over 1,000,000. No matter what the true numbers were two facts stand out. Urban warfare which becomes house to house and street to street fighting is extremely expensive in lives and always leads to horrific casualty counts.
