Over the course of the war, more than 34 million people served in the Soviet land, navy, and air forces; every second Soviet citizen who had been engaged in industrial or agricultural work before 1941 went to the front between 1941 and 1945. In 1945, the armed forces had close to 13 million people. See G. F.
