Quoting Alfred Jodl's "Strategic situation in spring 1944" presentation. The total given for German forces in the west in May 1944, prior to a slight upgrade of forces in the west in preparation for Operation Overlord, was 1,873,000 personnel.

- ^ MacDonald 1993, hlm. 478. "exclusive of prisoners of war, all German casualties in the west from D-day to V–E Day probably equaled or slightly exceeded Allied losses". In the related footnote he writes the following: "The only specific figures available are from OB WEST for the period 2 June 1941 – 10 April 1945 as follows: Dead, 80,819; wounded, 265,526; missing, 490,624; total, 836,969. (Of the total, 4,548 casualties were incurred prior to D-day.) See Rpts, Der Heeresarzt im Oberkommando des Heeres Gen St d H/Gen Qu, Az.: 1335 c/d (IIb) Nr.: H.A./263/45 g. Kdos. of 14 Apr 45 and 1335 c/d (Ilb) (no date, but before 1945). The former is in OCMH X 313, a photostat of a document contained in German armament folder H 17/207; the latter in folder 0KW/1561 (OKW Wehrmacht Verluste). These figures are for the field army only, and do not include the Luftwaffe and Waffen-SS. Since the Germans seldom remained in control of the battlefield in a position to verify the status of those missing, a considerable percentage of the missing probably were killed. Time lag in reporting probably precludes these figures' reflecting the heavy losses during the Allied drive to the Rhine in March, and the cut-off date precludes inclusion of the losses in the Ruhr Pocket and in other stages of the fight in central Germany."

Only includes those wounded who were not captured after, and only records wounded up to 31 January 1945. Likely to be drastically underestimated considering the corresponding figures for the Eastern Front on the same document.

Tahun 1944, ada sekitar 69 divisi Jerman di Prancis dan 19 di Italia (jumlahnya tidak pasti karena adanya pemindahan dan peletakan baru) Keegan, John (1990). The Second World War. Menurut David Glantz PDF Diarsipkan 2011-07-09 di Wayback Machine., pada bulan Januari 1945 pasukan Poros telah mengerahkan 2,3 juta melawan Tentara Merah. Namun, akibat kurang persiapan pada musim dingin, mereka mengalami kekalahan dengan 510.000 tentara terbunuh di Timur dan 325.000 di Barat. Bulan April 1945, 1,96 juta tentara Jerman menghadapi 6,4 juta pasukan Tentara Merah di perbatasan Berlin, Cekoslowakia, dan beberapa daerah di kawasan timur lainnya. Di sisi lain, 4 juta tentara Sekutu di barat menghadapi tentara Jerman yang kurang dari 1 juta orang. Bulan Mei 1945, Soviet menerima 1,5 juta tentara yang menyerah, sedangkan di sisi lain 1 juta tentara Jerman lain menyerah pada Inggris dan Amerika.
