Editing on Continuation War article

You are aware that Krivosheyev's values are not in any way representative of the Soviet casualties of the Continuation War. There are several critical omissions which are obvious if you look at the data both from his approach which concentrates to the specific 'operations' instead of continuous time period as well as due to the oddly selected termination times of the operations. First the 'defensive operation' ends sometime in October 1941, in reality Finnish offensive continued until December 1941. Second, during the 'operation' Soviet reorganized and part of the Finns actually faced new Leningrad Front whose losses are absent. Third, all the losses suffered between October 1941 and June 1944 are omitted, for both Leningrad Front, Karelian Front as well as for the Soviet Baltic Fleet. Fourth, somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the formations actually taking part to the offensive against Finland in summer 1944 are omitted in Krivosheyev's list. Fifth, one whole Soviet army, the 59th Army is omitted from the list. Sixth, Leningrad Front (21st, 23rd and 59th Army) continued the offensive until mid July, it did not end in Karelian Isthmus at 20 June 1944 - instead several major engagements were still fought on Karelian Isthmus by Leningrad Front after that 'deadline', starting from Battle of Tienhaara (sov. 21st Army), Battle of Tali-Ihantala (sov. 21st Army), Battle of Vyborg Bay (1944) (sov. 59th Army) and finally Battle of Vuosalmi (sov. 23rd Army). Until these points can be addressed using Krivosheyev is not what should be done. - Wanderer602 (talk) 15:50, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
