It wasn't that bad, only several million German men died. But of course many more were injured.

https://www.quora.com/If-a-large-proportion-of-German-men-were-killed-in-World-War-2-how-did-German-women-find-partners-after-the-war-How-many-German-women-stayed-single-as-a-result-of-not-being-able-to-find-a-partner-after-the-war

David Glantz in his book "When Titans Clashed" puts the total German casualties (including wounded) at over 11 million (6 million wounded, 5 million dead). 11 million was 75% of the entire German Army and 46% of the German male population in 1939.

As I said, wounded and not just dead.

Also German population in 1939 was 86 million people. Do you seriously believe the females outnumberer the males over 3 to 1 before the war?

(And yes, by 1945 they conscripted the teenagers and the grandpas too. And also whoever calculated it underestimated just how many were just taken prisoner.)

I await your sources on what the numbers would since you believe my sources would be wrong.

Source "German population 1939", look it up.

Also many of the German soldiers were not from Germany, but from Austria and various other countries (the Volksdeutsche, like my grandfather conscripted in Poland).

That's not even counting all the soldiers who weren't even actually Germans at all. Like the many foreign SS units, the Ost Legions, or the Soviet "helpers" as they called them.

Also in 1939 they had precisely 38.7 million men.

One doesn't need sources to point out that the numbers you posted make no sense.
