There was also the issue that a wounded soldier consumed more resources than a dead soldier. In those days, & today in most cases, wounded soldiers were retrieved & treated. That consumed resources that would be denied the enemy to add more soldiers to the battle. Not too relevant today with Naplam, Nukes, Cluster Bombs, and do not forget Human Wave Attacks.
