Sorry but which sources?
250,000+ on on each side sounds about right for total army strength including garrison units, maybe high because many units were below strength, but it's extremely high for field army strength. 50,000 casualties would represent the complete destruction of at least two, probably three, field armies, but it might be the cumulative total for the entire war.
