German POW figures
The Russians in the 1990's published figures for Axis POW losses that are significantly lower than German sources. Some historians like Overy cite the Russian figures, others like Taylor, Ferguson and Beorn maintain the German estimates are correct. In any case on Wikipedia we have a neutral point of view NPOV and present both sides of the argument. Send me an email at berndd11222@gmail.com and I will be glad to send a jpg of the page from Overy. The c.700,000 prisoners not in the Russian figures are surrendered personnel that never made it to the POW camps.--Woogie10w (talk) 17:40, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

BTW another editor made the edit re. Overy, I was not responsible for any misrepresentation of the source. --Woogie10w (talk) 18:00, 6 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I actually do not have much more to add, the previous reference to Overy's "The Dictators: Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia" was deliberately misleading. Thanks for the corrections. Ambirose (talk) 18:34, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * German prisoners of war in the Soviet Union - you have created a red comment. Please correct.Xx236 (talk) 08:09, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
