The greatist theory on military history ever

[the_tyrant]

老匪once said：3 Japanese divisions is as good as a million strong German army(in WWII)
the reasoning:
in the Nomonhan Incident, There was 10000 active Japanese combat troops(1 B standard division), verses 70000 soviet troops(August 20)
According to Soviet sources, the Soviet Union used around 920 tanks and armored cars.
the japanese army destroyed around 300 tanks and around 100 armored cars
300 tanks and 100 armored cars destroyed per 10000troops
in comparison, at Kursk, the German army only destroyed 2200 Soviet tanks and an unknown number of armored cars
so, on average, the German army destroys 22tanks per 10000 troops
therefore, 1 Japanese division is about as good as 15-20 German divisions
on average, each German division has around 10000-20000troops
therefore, 3 Japanese divisions are as good as 1 million German troops
