Why did the Red Army continue to suffer massive casualties in 1944/45 even when facing a Wehrmacht that was degraded by years of losses on various fronts and wasn't at its fighting best?

According to Wiki the Soviet Union suffered 6,878,641 total military casualties (including deaths) in 1944. In 1945 it suffered 3,013,507 casualties (not including the Far East). That means in both years they suffered more casualties than the WAllies did for the entire war combined. That's insane.
