Re: German Army 1st september 1939
More over - some of the German papers on casualties of their units (for example - 8. Infanterie-Division, 5. Panzer-Division) does not exist (some of them were destroyed yet during the WW2). The majority of them were destroyed yet during the WW2 - so I suppose that these casualty figures are not in...

Re: Breakout of the German casualties in Poland 1939
Somewhere in you're above rant you mention something about statistics of the germans. Well, my experience is, that they were a lot better than that of most armies in wwII. Well - small quotation which - I hope so - can open your eyes for some new facts: Niklas Zetterling and Anders Franksson discus...

As you can see losses were rather heavy, mainly because this...

Re: German Army 1st september 1939
Thanks ericv!
Is there anything more in this book (except that which you have already posted) about this specific combat, in which that Polish battalion was destroyed - and maybe also about events which took place soon before this combat and soon after it?
