The problem of the loss of military personnel of the Red Army and Fleet in the Kerch-Feodosian amphibious operation and battle at the jumping-off place (January 1942)

Abstract

Studying operational documents from military archives, an analysis was made of the number of personnel losses during the Kerch-Feodosiya landing operation (December 25, 1941 – January 2, 1942) and further battles on the bridgehead captured by Soviet troops with the participation of navy forces. The current assessments of the irretrievable losses of servicemen have been criticized
