Thank you for bringing my site up. I hope it is useful. I am however compelled to make a few comments.
In regards to the numbers of German generals then the number of army generals during the war was well over 3000. I've got the information but just hasn't had the time to add them yet.
Regarding China then please remember that it includes generals back to 1935.
Yet the number is still way to small. The Chinese army had over 4000 generals in active service in January 1944.
Regarding the British and Commenwealth please notice that I have include Brigadiers, who at the time was not considered generals.
As for the Soviet please remember that I have also include officers with ranks equivalent to generals such Commissars of State Security of the NKVD or political officers like Brigade-Commissars.
Finally I would like to add that I am constantly working on the site adding new information and new generals.
So in shorth - the database is not complete and you can't really compare the numbers of the differnt nations. Yet I hope you find it use full.
