If you have men to spare, but you're short on equipment then it is a valid tactic.

Mowing down inbred Nazis would be fun as fuck

Literally both, if you think about it

Goy's life not worth a tenth of a sheckel; why to spare it when goyim are fighting other goyim???

You realize that the Red Army's combat performance substantially improved after 1943, right?

The Russian population was completely and utterly fucked by that tactic. The only men left and lazy, fat, low IQ vatnik drunks. If you want to win and ruin your chance at longevity in the future sure it works.

Soviets really didn't use human waves too much, that was more of a China during the Korean War kind of thing.

TOPIC IS FUCKING OLD
AND
FUCKING GAYYYYYYY

Soviets never used human wave tactics, at least that wasn't their tactical doctrine. Lack of artillery ammo or bad coordination earlier in the war meant their infantry sometimes attacked unsupported (or tanks attacked unsupported), but that's not human wave, just shitty tactical performance.
Most of Soviet casualties were civilians. Overall, some 7-8 million Soviet soldiers died in combat, opposed to 5 million Axis soldiers.
Soviet Union didn't have a massive manpower advantage compared to Germany and it's allies. For start, they lost the populous Ukraine and Belarus early in the war.


Any more retarded claims?

I too watched enemy at the gates

Never happened.

Not only that, but the 7-9 million military deaths also counts Soviet POWs worked to death and executed

You're retarded for basing your opinions on Enemy at the Gates.

Quantity will always win desu

Russia has a smaller population than the US or the EU.

According to this only 2 million Wehrmacht soldiers must've been killed in war and not as POW

The largest manpower advantage the Soviet Union ever had was 2:1
the reason the USSR is "famous" for outnumbering the enemy is because massive secret concentration of force was a core part of their strategic doctrine

The Russians would draw forces away from other areas of the front and quietly concentrate them in order to win key victories (such as Kursk, where the Germans expected the Soviets to have

what? they searched through the archives of the ussr in 1991 until now for informations regarding ww2 and the soviet union before that published many propaganda books that reached the west about ww2 from their perspective.

7-9 million is without POWs.

The damage was already done by 1991; the idea of Russia paying for victory with blood is an old one, and cold war misinformation only served to reinforce a lot of myths about WW2.

>human wave
>Russians

Never happened.

And that Germany and her allies had the numerical advantage until something like the turn of '42-'43.
Just throwing people at them would've been suicide, as you'd run out of men.

The cold war era soviet tactic of concentrating force and then rushing in hard seems reckless until they're up in you rear eschelon fucking up your shit.

It's why the absolute madmen at Textron developed the cbu-97/105

It’d be more fun to rape them

>Is the human wave tactic a valid strategy or are Russians retarded?

Retarded tactic that was phased out quickly.

It was more like "don't go prone under fire so you won't stay in a killzone" but it did not account for enemy firepower that much.

They learned VERY quickly it's bad and changed it very fast.

There are much older and more thoroughly debunked ideas about WW2 that are still around user :)

People are cheap, artillery and planes are not

>le Nazeis zergrushed us while we where just minding our own business and dindunuthing

You realize thats a myth based on the same source that claims Soviet economy was booming and no one ever starved?

>People are cheap
Oh user...
Years worth of training, and during that training sustaining the soldier and paying him. Producing modern soldiers is an expensive process.

worst fucking countryball memes ever

nothing to like about them, they're just without any kind of humor or anything else

>without any kind of humor
Just look at the face of that fucking tiger.

Shalom

Still buying fake memes?

Russia can't afford to lose massive amounts of young men in their military their demographics are crashing and can barely maintain 1million people in their army. If anything china can lose 300million and it would improve the country.
