AP Photo. 1941. An estimated 650,000 soviet troops were caught at Vyazma and Bryansk. The US Holocaust Memorial Museum estimates a rate of 5,000 POW deaths per day in October of 1941 due to starvation rations, disease, exposure, and shooting. There were several soviet captures that numbered over 100,000. Stalin instituted penalties for the families of those taken prisoner.
