Replacement rate for frontline units in WW2

[Aeraaa]

Slightly off topic question, but can anybody show me a link describing replacement rate for say a division in WW2? I know that this differs from branch to branch (infantry probably suffering more casualties than artillery) or country to country, but if anyone could show me a document telling how many days it took for a combat unit to replenish it's manpower I'd be much obliged.

As far as I know there is no rough guide it would depend on the situation at the moment & also very much the country & even time period, Brits evacuating France for example.
Could be days or months esp if your talking say German vehicles in which case the replacement could well be anything similar or nothing at all.
On the Russian front German tank formations regulary operated at about 2/3rds to 3/4 strength.
Russia uses an entirely diffrent doctrine you would be lucky to get a trickle of replacements. They fight till the unit is at 1/3rd strength then disband it as a general rule.
So taking Russia generally no replacements but of course when it was defending its citys would often get a daily resupply. Tanks roling straight out of factorys into combat & conscript troops with a couple of days training doing there bit to save their familys.
So no hard & fast rule in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure the only hard and fast rule about replenishment rate is Not Fast Enough.

There's an appropriate Bill Mauldin panel about replacements, where the supply sergeant is telling his captain "So, I told Company K they'd just have to solve their own replacement problem." Meanwhile there's a pair of hands reaching through the back of the tent ready to grab the sergeant.
