Greetings, gentlemen.
I was woundering if someone has data about Ostheer and W-SS strenght on the Eastern Front. Would be great, if you post it here.
Btw, I have piece of data from 7/1/1944 to 7/1/1944 ( someone allready posted it here somewhere)

I've tried to reconstruct it myself.

All data prior to July 1943 are my estimates, derived from various data points and calculated on the same basis as the official figures for 1943-44, so as to be directly comparable.

01.01.1942 / 1943 / 1944: ............ / 2,845,000 / 2,528,000
01.02.1942 / 1943 / 1944: ............ / 2,702,000 / 2,366,000
01.03.1942 / 1943 / 1944: ............ / 2,754,000 / 2,391,000
01.04.1942 / 1943 / 1944: ............ / 2,835,000 / 2,340,000
01.05.1942 / 1943 / 1944: ............ / 2,967,000 / 2,444,000
01.06.1942 / 1943 / 1944: ............ / 3,072,000 / 2,620,000
01.07.1942 / 1943 / 1944: 2,818,000 / 3,138,000 / 2,235,000
01.08.1942 / 1943 / 1944: 2,820,000 / 2,985,000 / 2,104,000
01.09.1942 / 1943 / 1944: 2,716,000 / 2,676,000 / 2,022,000
01.10.1942 / 1943 / 1944: 2,655,000 / 2,568,000 / 1,833,000
01.11.1942 / 1943 / 1944: ............ / 2,641,000 / ............
01.12.1942 / 1943 / 1944: 2,766,000 / 2,619,000 / ............

This is all the data I have that is either official (7.43-10.44) or are estimates in which I am highly confident (7-10.42, 12.42-6.43). I have some preliminary estimates for 1941 as well as the missing months of 1942, but those are on much shakier ground so I didn't post them.

@KDF33 - I came across some nifty sheets in NARA T78 R432, thought you might like (if you haven't seen them yet).

Does anyone know what the acronyms stand for? I can guess but surely someone (Art?) knows the exact wording.

Difference between this one and OP's (small) is that everything after Feb '44 is projected (per my bad German). Ostheer was reinforced by Summer '44 to a greater extent than foreseen that winter.
