Maybe he met some cute mail order bride from Minsk who turned out to be a partisan.

Few more

Germany's casualty statistics:

* By D-Day, 35% of all German soldiers had been wounded at least once,
11% twice, 6% three times, 2% four times and 2% more than 4 times
* The average officer slot had to be refilled 9.2 times
* Germany lost 136 Generals, which averages out to be 1 dead General every 2 weeks
* Germany lost 110 Division Commanders in combat
* Air attacks caused 1/3 of German Generals' deaths
* 84 German Generals were executed by Hitler

* Germany lost 40-45% of their aircraft to accidents

The sheer scale of casualties is difficult to comprehend.

The far most majority of those 223 is divisional leader aka below game command level and there for not applical to this game engine deaths.
The other fronts naturally toke their toll too.
Since i did some research into this, using the actual generals in game.

I'd point u too post 57 in this thread

Interesting that you brought this up. I recently raided a German HQ and I got a message that a general got killed. :)
