Ah.
When the Wehrmacht invaded.... That I'll buy as 80%. But, as you note in your own entry by 1943 it is down to about 60% reflecting the increasing threat to Germany from the West. Of course, this does not downplay the significance of the war in the East, it just notes the reality of Germany having to deal increasingly with the US and Commonwealth forces.
