It's easily understandable why a strategy that boils down to zerg rushing with poor or missing equipment would result in heavy losses.
It is also understandable why a country that subscribes to an ideology that places very little value on the individual and has a large population would pick such a strategy.
Believing that such a strategy is a morally correct thing is another matter entirely.
What this chart does show is the discrepancy between the different war conducts. Namely that the Ostfront was a horrific meat grinder where life had no value, and there was no point in taking prisoners.

Does the total for the Russians include retreating soldiers that were shot by their commanders?
