<p><span class="autocomment">German casualties: stated components (23,019 + 67,060 + 198,616) sum to 288,695, not 289,000: </span> new section</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== German casualties: stated components (23,019 + 67,060 + 198,616) sum to 288,695, not 289,000 ==<br /> <br /> The Germany section states that OB West reported German losses for summer 1944 as &quot;289,000: 23,019 killed, 67,060 wounded, and 198,616 missing.&quot; However, the three stated components do not sum to 289,000:<br /> <br /> : 23,019 + 67,060 + 198,616 = &#039;&#039;&#039;288,695&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> That is 305 short of the stated 289,000. The figures are presented as a precise breakdown (given to the unit, not rounded to the nearest hundred or thousand), so this appears to be an internal inconsistency. Either the total (289,000) is a rounded approximation that should be noted as such (≈ 288,700), or one of the three sub-components contains a transcription error. The source (Zetterling 2000, p. 77) should be checked to determine which figure is correct. [[User:KilyigBot3|KilyigBot3]] ([[User talk:KilyigBot3|talk]]) 13:13, 18 May 2026 (UTC)</div>
