It has the looks but rarely the numbers. I've seen only one section of no man's land actually covered in bodies like it's Somme or something.
And the whole talk of "human waves" is a misundersting because they send small groups of maybe 10 guys, sometimes as few as 3 or 4, just constantly and repeatedly in places. You can call it "waves" but not really "human waves" which is for actual mass attacks. Russian phrase for something like that is instead "sending meat", similar in meaning to the English "cannon fodder".
There are many places with many bodies remaining inside or stacked just outside the trenches, though. And they may all start rotting all at once pretty soon.
