what if instead of creating the garbadge luftwaffe field divisions and the volksgrenadier corps the surplus personel released from the luftwaffe and reserved occupations where fed into the regular line infantry as replacements
the luftwaffe field divisions didnt have as many heavy weapons as the regular heer divisions... as well they had a severe lack of experianced officers and nco's
the volksgrenadiers absorbed a lot of equipment and men that could have brought the regular divisions up to full strength
i read somewhere that these groups absorbed enough manpower to bring over 75 german infantry divisions up to full strength
