Chapter 193
< World War II - Liberation(Wyzwolenie) (6) >
May 6, 1941
Northern Germany, Berlin – Dietrich Schacht's Mansion
Ten days since the start of Operation Liberation.
As dawn broke, I sat on the sofa, reading reports from the front lines.
To date, the losses incurred from Operation Liberation are 160,000 for the German Army and 90,000 for the Polish Army. The estimated losses and isolated military force of the Soviet Army are around 2 million.
The casualty ratio is 1:8. You could call it an overwhelmingly great victory.
In the previous battle, the Soviet Union was prepared while we were not, but this time, we fought with the utmost preparedness while the Soviets, unaware of our true strength, were caught off guard.
Charles de Gaulle's French Army and Mannerheim's Finnish Army are also steadily pushing back the Soviet Army on the Kola Peninsula, so at a glance, the war situation seems to be progressing very smoothly.
