Combat Strength Ratios

Post by Michel »

Can anyone help me with the average ratio between combat troops and support troops in a typical German Division?

Was it different for SS divisions?

Was it different for Allied Divisions?

Thank you!

That page is a study of the "bayonet strength" (combat personnel) of formations of various armies throughout the war.
