Almost half of European countries - Spain, Italy, Denmark, Norway, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Finland, Croatia - joined the war against the USSR together with Germany, sending their armed forces to the Eastern Front

In addition to the losses of the German Armed Forces themselves on the Eastern Front, it is necessary to add the losses of the satellite countries, and this is 850 thousand (including those who died in captivity) people killed and more than 600 thousand prisoners.

This too is often overlooked, when the Wehraboos strike again. Yes, the USSR suffered 1.3 times the losses of the Wehrmacht, but only because these 0.3 had to fight against the other axis members. All in all, a good summary
