By mid-1943 Germany had lost its ability to replenish the manpower losses in its infantry divisions. Many units reduced the number of infantry battalions in each regiment from 3 to 2. The average infantry battalion combat strength was 425 troops out of an authorized 860. One major exception to the sorry state of the infantry divisions was the 78. Sturm (Assault) Division. The 78th Infantry Division was raised in August 1939. In January 1943, the unit was withdrawn and reorganized as the 78. Sturm division, a trial division for various organizational changes.
