killmore Posted March 15, 2000 Share Posted March 15, 2000 Please help! I am looking for numbers like: Size of 1945 figting army of USA, Britain, Soviet, German, Canada, Poland, France etc. I need some fighting strengths. Anyone can give me this data? Or refer me to some webpages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted March 15, 2000 Share Posted March 15, 2000 You'll have to be more specific. Pick a month AND which arms of the service you want counted. In 1945 the USAF was still the Army Air Corps IIRC and so their officers were army officers. Should they be counted? Also do you want to count Marines. Do you want to count Soviet troops on the Asiatic frontier etc etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killmore Posted March 16, 2000 Author Share Posted March 16, 2000 Gee... Lets say 1945, any month. I don't care really about Air/Marines/army I was interested mainly in total fighting personel number (all branches). (Something that would not include biurocracy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hundminen Posted March 16, 2000 Share Posted March 16, 2000 Check out www.euronet.nl/users/wilfried/ww2/ww2.htm which has some good info and links to statistics on sizes of armed forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted March 16, 2000 Share Posted March 16, 2000 LOL, saying ANY month and not specifying if you include the Army Air Corps or not pretty much makes your question meaningless. If we compare the size of the US Army (including Air Corps) to the Soviet Army (not including Air Force_ we end up with an unfair comparison.
