1 Oct 1941

enthusiasm for the New Order, doubt of Germany's ultimate victory and increasing will to resist. 5. The German Army. on the most conservative calculation Any estimate of German casualties is difficult, but/a figure up to the middle of October of 1,500,000 including an unusually high percentage of dead and severely wounded, seems likely. Even more serious is that the heaviest losses are among the specialised troops. Evidence of Germany's desperate need for fighting men can be seen in her demands on allied and associated countries and recent comb-outs in Germany itself, including even men from the mining industry, and this despite the acute shortage of industrial labour already referred to.
