I do think some people are selling the Eastern Front short. 3 out of the top 5 highest casualty count battles in human history are from this front. Like Stalingrad:
Axis:
Strength by Soviet Counteroffensive: 1,040,000
Casualties (killed/wounded): 734,000
Captured: 108,000
Returned Home: 198,000
Soviets:
Strength by Soviet Counteroffensive: 1,143,000
Killed in Action: 478,741
Wounded or Sick: 650,878
Survivors not Wounded or Sick: 13,381
Initial Civilians in the City: 400,000
Surviving Civilians at End: 10,000-60,000
I can't imagine worse than that, really for both sides.

Agreed. That wasn't even the worst of it for them. The bolshevik revolution was sparked as a result of the war. Russia/USSR had a rough go for a good 40 year stretch

The Eastern Front was a meat grinder but the individual experience for each and every soldier was similar to any other soldier in the war. So, while the body count was extremely high, the conditions weren't any worse than what the British in South East Asia experienced.
