Now to the gutted man power. I will point you to the stated strengths of the combatants during 44-45. Only the USSR and the US were still creating new divisions at an accelerated pace. Actual British man power curve was almost flat, although there was a marked increase in mechanized units. Her colonial contributions were still on an up curve, but the percentages are too small to carry much weight. Then take England’s losses, killed, wounded and captured as a percentage of male population from the conscriptable Category and you will see that it was the third largest known percentage. Italy may have actually been third, but their figures are skewed and not reliable. The US percentage is much less, and was enough of a problem that pacific casualties were being delayed and under reported by 1945.
One figure of note is the armored strength of Germany at the time of surrender. The Panzerwaffen listed 2023 tanks, 738 assault guns (self-propelled artillery), and 159 Flak Panzers. This is almost exactly the strength of the armored armies that invaded Russia. This is from the book “SS: The secret Archives Western Front” that I am reading now. No secrets in it, but hundreds of previously unpublished photos. It’s by Ian Baxter. The other figures you can look up on your own. Just look at the growth rates for late 44 into 45 and you will see the trend. Then look at the demobilization rates, they will give you a picture of the true state of the victors countries. Of the victors, only the USSR maintained a troop strength that was even close to the figures of 45. Even the US gutted its forces, and it had by far the strongest economy. But such is the down side of popular democracy.
