An essential element of waging war, is the education of the troops, the quality of the various weapons and the ideology and moral of an army. Every unit in the field army had a smaller spare unit as a reserve. Thus an infantry regiment, had an infantry battalion as a spare unit. The battalion trained the new-drawn soldiers carefully and transferred them when required from the reserves to active duty. This system worked just fine, until extra materials and reserve troops finally ran out. This film shows a cross section of the divisions from the German Wehrmacht, during 1939 till 1945.
