I find these numbers interesting .... especially the suicides .... though I suppose most of the WW2 ones were at the end of the war !! From The Decline and Fall of of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan Hans Dollinger1965. The death of German Generals - tabulated on pg 422 - WW1 Killed 70 Suicide 3 Died 103 Total 166 Total number of Generals serving 2,530 WW2 Killed 287 Suicide 108 Sentenced to death(German courts) 25 Sentenced to death(Allied courts) 57 Accidental deaths 49 Died 310 Missing 65 Total 901 Total number of generals serving 3,363
There was another thread here, which I can't find, that quoted a higher figure. We did find that number rather erroneous and not backed up with evidence. The above numbers do seem more feasible
