Chapter 968: Bombing the Ruhr District_2

"Currently, the number has reached 450,000, and it is expected to break through 500,000 next month," reported Kurt Zeitzler, the German Chief of General Staff.

Speaking of the reserve forces currently in training, Kurt Zeitzler's face visibly relaxed somewhat.

Thanks to the high approval ratings of the German Chancellor among the civilian population, as well as the German public's desire not to relive the shadow of war defeat, Germany's new mobilization policy was welcomed.

Every day, a continuous stream of civilians change their status, becoming members of the glorious German reserve military forces.

The ever-increasing number of reserve soldiers is also one of the reasons Germany is confident in launching the Stalingrad campaign.

Should the Stalingrad campaign fail, these continuously increasing reserve forces could also be dispatched to stabilize the defenses at both the Eastern and Western Fronts, vying for Germany's last chance.
