By how much would the imperial German army have been increased in divisions and corps had it followed a French stile mobilization scheme,before ww1, for example I think this would increase the total amount of males mobilized in each age class from about 55% to 80%.

The best I have been able to find to help me answer this was the English translation of the official Bavarian army's history of the battles of alsels and lorane and in its prologue section describing the Bavarian army it clams that if the Bavarian army had followed a French mobilization scheme it would have added a extra active divition and an extra reserve corps, but I doubt this works for the rest of the German army as Bavaria seems to have recuted 62% of each age class compared the the German average of 55% and I don't know how this would factor into the other German nations army's (especaly Baden, wüttanburg, and Saxony) which seem to have much larger army's compared to there size when compared to Prussia. So curious to see if anybody here more or better data on this then I was able to find.
