So germany should have 1650*1=1650. But it gets 1676 which is a difference of 26.
Where do that 26 come from?

Note (1) Includes Axis Czech and Poles, but only ten percent of this manpower (by location) is actually placed in the German pool.

Okay, so it should be: So Germany should get at least 1650+56,2=1706,2

But there is another thing:

Living Manual 1.21 p.510 wrote:Manpower recruited from Luxembourg is allocated at the normal rate as if it was a German nationality manpower centre.

LUX has 4+1+1 Factories, so 6 overall.

But then there is also the "Occupied Pool" (note the two flags): Note, this Pool sometimes gives 14, but may also give 34 or something in the 20's. Why?
Here the same applies. CZ+POL won't be 14. Substracting the LUX 6 we get 8 and guessing the 10% multiplier on POL and CZ is supposed to be applied twice we would get 6+5,62=~12.

Even if we'd add 26+14 we end up with 40 which is still less than allCZPOL (56,2).


What am I missing?

AFAIR production multipliers are applied to individual factories so a size-10 cze/pol manpower fac will produce one manpower point, anything below zero. I believe there's a minimal chance a size-8 or 9 fac production will round up instead.

Thanks, yes I guess that's that "(by location)" part I wasnt sure about that term and how it's being used in english. Somehow that feels wrong but I am not sure about historical influx of manpower from CZ/POL so I can't complain.
