Friedrich, Ive found my source

In John Tolands book "The Last 100 Days" he cites a Colonel Dollmann as having said "Germany was in too good a bargaining position to bow to unconditional surrender. There was still an intact and undefeated army of 1,000,000 men in Italy." Perhaps the Colonel was exaggerating, but this is definetly where I got the figure from. Perhaps 1 million men total, including 400k on the Gustav line, but thats the figure I got.
