The Great War Facts

It took 2300 British pounds for the Germans to kill each Allied soldier
It took 7500 British pounds for the British to kill each German soldier
The Germans killed 35 % more men than they lost
And they captured 30 % more men than they lost through capture
But in the end they got tired of the Great War first and lost
It was a near thing but not a stab in the back as Hitler made out.
