Bab 1307: Chapter 953: Sovereignty over Antarctica

The Germans had given everything to launch the battle of Stalingrad.

To avoid the troop disadvantage that had occurred in the Moscow campaign, the German government had even issued a total mobilization order.

This so-called total mobilization far exceeded any previous German mobilization efforts.

Germany hoped to increase the size of its military from 5 million to at least 10 million, which also meant that the numerical disadvantage of the German Army could be quickly remedied.

Of course, such a mobilization policy was not without its drawbacks.

Though the military could surge to a level of ten million, for a German population of just over eighty million, this was the equivalent of one in every eight Germans heading to battle.

It must be known that out of those more than eighty million Germans, nearly half were women, and among the remaining half, there were also a large number of elderly and children.
