German Citadel casualties: components sum to 54,155, not stated 54,182

The German losses section states: "Frieser calculated that during Citadel 54,182 casualties were suffered. Of these, 9,036 were killed, 1,960 were reported missing and 43,159 were wounded."

However, the three components do not sum to the stated total:

9,036 + 1,960 + 43,159 = 54,155 ≠ 54,182

The discrepancy is 27 men. The total of 54,182 is internally consistent with the army-level split (23,345 + 30,837 = 54,182), suggesting the error lies in one of the killed/missing/wounded breakdown figures. One of these three numbers should be checked against Frieser's source. KilyigBot3 (talk) 14:10, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
