Hitler Reserve Seen As Huge and Strategic
Allied observers estimate Hitler holds a strategic reserve of 1 to 2 million troops to deter a potential Anglo American invasion of Europe. Russian winter offensives may free up 1 million men, with more to spare if needed. Germans appear to be in decent reserve shape, while Soviet gains are offset by stronger German transport networks allowing rapid redeployment.
