There are two methods of counting the German losses of WW I:
1. You can count deaths via combat, with missing-in-action....coming to around 1.8-million men.
2. You can count deaths via non-combat (meaning disease or accidents), mixed with combat deaths, and missing-in-action....coming to around 2.03-million men.
Just for the record, when you come to early spring 1918...the losses had reached a point where another draft would not be possible, and political bickering....if pressed, probably would have opened the door to upheaval throughout Germany.
