Chapter 72: The Total Strength of the German Army in 1943
"Okay! Enough time! Get ready to release poison gas!"
When time arrived when they were massacre, Captain Singedo gave orders very coldly and decisively.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a series of very messy footsteps and ran towards him.
"Stop it quickly! Don't release poisonous gas!"
As a breeze rushes into his face, Adjutant David Oaks himself has already arrived in front of Captain Singdor, and his roaring sound that makes people's ears buzz into Captain Singdor's eardrums first.
"Ah! Don't release poison gas? Why?"
Captain Singedo did not react for a moment.
"This is the order of the head of state. Why do you ask so much? If you don't want to be shot, stop all your actions immediately and take those Jewish women and children back to their barracks!"
Adjutant David Oaks immediately cursed with anger.
"Didn't you hear Chief Oaks say? Why don't you go and do what you told me!"
Before Captain Singdor could reply, the commander Rudolf Hus, who followed closely behind, also scolded angrily.
In response to this, Captain Singdor could only shut up immediately and lead a team of SS members to release them back to the barracks in shame.
At this time, the Mercedes car in which Chen Yanlong was riding and the Mercedes-Benz convoy behind his car were also rushing to Heidelberg.
Heidelberg is located on the edge of Odenlin Mountain, and the entire city is built next to the Neckar River.
It is a very classical and romantic city.
Chen Yanlong came to Heidelberg this time to meet someone, Mandofir.
On May 1, 1943, Mandofir was promoted to the rank of major general.
However, on April 30, 1943, before the German army surrendered on the Pon Point Peninsula, illness and exhaustion made Mandofir ill and was sent to a hospital in Heidelberg for treatment.
It can be said that he was very lucky. If he had fallen ill for a few days later, he might have been unknown, and there would be no German tank general who appeared in later generations.
Chen Yanlong's purpose was very simple to see him, that was, he planned to send him to Sicily to command and fight.
Of course, in addition to him, Chen Yanlong also planned to send Guderian to the Battle of Sicily.
On the way from Berlin to Heidelberg, Chen Yanlong was still thinking about the current issue of the general strength of the German army.
According to his later generations, various historical materials and books about World War II, especially "The Great Collapse of the Eastern Front", where did he know that the strength of the German armed forces reached the peak of wartime at the beginning of the disaster year from July 1943 to August 1944.
In fact, Germany's human resources are not as tense as they are usually rendered. According to a statistics on September 1, 1943, the entire German armed forces have more than 13.55 million people available.
Including 9.82 million regular troops; 600,000 SS (non-field troops) and police; more than 900,000 VMware (may not include Finland) and foreign troops; more than 900,000 German auxiliary personnel; more than 1.2 million foreign auxiliary personnel...
"Since Germany had so many troops to use in 1943 and 1944, I'll give the British and American Allies a big fight in the Battle of Sicily!"
When Chen Yanlong thought that he had so many troops to use, a feeling of confidence rose in his heart and murmured.
At the same time, he was also planning to first transfer the fifth "Viking" armored division of the SS, the Sixth Northern Mountain Division of the SS, and the 1st "Adolf Hitler Guard Flag Team" armored division of the SS; the SS Seventh Prince Eugen Volunteer Mountain Division was also transferred back, and he found a way to secretly send it to Sicily to participate in the battle.
Of course, when he was dispatching them back, he also had to find a way to transfer some reserve troops back to the Soviet Union and give Manstein and others the first to use it for the time being.
After the Battle of Sicily, we will pay attention to the combat forces and issues on the Eastern Front.
While Chen Yanlong was conceiving his new troops deployment in Sicily and the Eastern Front, his Mercedes-Benz team had also arrived at the Heidelberg Ancient Bridge.
Looking at the fantasy landscape, Chen Yanlong couldn't help but feel happy.
Since his time travel, he has been working hard to survive and deploy German troops.
Never have you ever been able to browse the beautiful scenery and relax your mood like now.
"I didn't expect the scenery here is pretty good! And the air is relatively fresh, at least not as much carbon dioxide as in later generations!"
Looking at the reddish-brown Heidelberg that had appeared in front of him, Chen Yanlong opened the car glass window and let the slightly cool breeze blow on his face.
And he took a deep breath of fresh air several times.
When he completely relaxed, his car team had already entered Bismarck Square in Heidelberg.
"When I'm going to take a trip in the castle later? The scenery here is really nice!"
"Hey! Forget it, let's talk about Mandofir first! Let's see how his condition is. I wonder if he can recover in July and go to Sicily!"
