German Military size 1935 to 1939
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2016 3:06 pm
My name is Zoe. I study International Affairs at Lewis and Clark University. I'm currently in the process of collecting date for a senior thesis about the conditions under which states choose a strategy of appeasement. One of my measurements requires comparing the absolute size of British and Germany military's from 1935 to 1939.
I'm measuring this in total number of enrolled personnel for the army, navy and air force. I believe for Germany this was known as the Wehrmacht. Some of the statistics on this website seem to utilize this data for Germany. However only data for 1939 is provided. Thus far I've had no luck either online or in print research finding data for 1935 to 1939. I was hoping someone could point me to a source that could provide them. Ideally this would mean a value for each year.
Thank you for your help.
