Took my attention this….
"…A Belgrade resident looks at a dead German soldier. Brothers Jugovic Street (city center). 19-20 October 1944. In the battle of Belgrade itself the defending Germans, Italians, Chetniks lost 18,000 (killed) men. The loss of the Red Army – about 900 men, People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia lost (though they actually were in the second tier) – about 2,200 men…."
Defending; 18.000 casualties.
Attacking: 3.100 casualties. Hum…!

IIRC didn't Dupuy find that, very counter-intuitively, in urban fighting the defenders generally lost 4 times as many men as the attackers? |

Well the figures you mentioned would sort of bear out that he was right. Unless they lied, naturally. |
