All they need to do is cloth them...transport them to the front lines and force send them forward to fight or die.
Life can be awfully cheap at times.
Does Putin and his Regime have the power and Will . to do that in the current War in Ukraine?
They also calculated the Germans maximum rate of fire, times that by the time to cross the ground, then added a couple of hundred to the figure and sent that many across, so even killing one per shot the Germans could never kill them all.
Those that failed to take positions etc were put in punishment battalions and marched at gunpoint across minefields etc, those wounded were deemed to have served the motherland.
