It was liberated on 6th November.

Liberation of Vasil'kov, 7 Nov. 1943

Same.

May be they were detached at the time, because during Zhitomir-Berdichev Operation only 20 SU-85 were burned or damaged.

Second - this book, page 164.

If you can't actually offer any anlysis, why bother to post? I think it is all true and accurate, and the reasons have been explained. I haven't seen any proofs, only unfounded statements. The part about 1941 or 1942 is that the Germans had to wear down Soviet manpower, which they did. Then, the So...

On 1st January 1944 1st Gds Army - 42 tanks (17 heavy, 25 medium), 9 SPGs 13th Army - 142 tanks (34 heavy, 108 medium), 59 SPGs 18th Army - 15 tanks (15 heavy) 27th Army - 4 tanks (4 heavy) 38th Army - 18 tanks (8 heavy, 10 medium), 7 SPGs 40th Army - 42 tanks (17 heavy, 25 medium), 9 SPGs 60th Army...

This all seems reasonable to me. It helps explain mysteries of the war, such as why the Soviets made such extensive use of supposedly shoddy British and American tanks.

What about AA units? Anyway in the Soviet figures personell of VVS are present.

They are not mentioned at comparison of opponents' forces. For example "Kursk 1943: a statistical analysis" table 1.2.
I will say more, in the same table in German manpower on Eastern front is counting only ground forces (Heer) w/o LW and KM.

There is no my problem, there is problem that Pak (sf) in most researches is not mentions.

Do you know number of LW personell?

Jan-Hendrik

So what? On Soviet side this type of vehicles is counting.

Interestigly, why usually is not counting Panzerjaegers (Marder etc.)?

May be 30? There were 26 T-34 in DR and 1 in 6 PD.
