Looks like a cold war stereotype. Info about losses moved by several ways. It wasn't possible to hide the losses. And military archives (TsAMO, TsVMA) contains huge amount of documents with info about losses, and they suitable for cross-checking.
Documents with personal losses are available on-line, in contrast with German NVM, which still unavailable after the closing in the end of Eighties.
