Russian Strength at 1st March, 1943. Report by J.I.C.

1 Mar 1943

(d) Strengths. It is now estimated that the Russian Armed forces, that is to say, the Army, Navy Air Forces and. N.K.V.D., amounted last autumn to some ten or eleven millions. Of this figure, the Army (comprising the formations set out in subparagraph (a) above, ancillary troops, labour battalions, training units and recruits) is between eight and nine millions. The 1925 class, much of which has already been called up, may produce about one million men, but these will be required for replacements.
