This is one of the silliest non-arguments in this discussion. Military commanders always want more of everything they need.
What commander says: "Stop sending me supplies and men. We are winning."?
Perhaps, it makes sense once the war is won.
I have been reading many claiming the Russians have already won, while simultaneously calling up more troops, sending more equipment and ammunition to the front, etc. etc.
Nazi apologia
When the Germans were being rolled up in WWII, the Army slowed down it’s equipment, and stopped sending men over. Instead, the moved men from administrative positions toward more forward positions.
Who says “Stop sending me supplies and men. We are winning.”?
The US government said that in late 1944 when “The war will be over by Christmas” mood was prevalent and began cutting back on the amount of ammunition and other rapidly consumable supplies needed for battle. And that also included the number of troops, but the high casualty rates caused the ‘cannibalization’ of trained stateside divisions to send the soldiers to Europe as individual replacements, rather than as complete units. The 106 Inf Div was one of those “cannibalized” divisions that had to be rebuilt and then shipped over, as well as the 75th Inf Div.
