Why did the Soviets choose to create more and more new divisions rather than reinforce he ones they had ?
I've read in Glantz's When Titans Clashed, that an average rifle division is supposed to have around 9.000 men or so however more often than not they'd have around 7.000 men, a lot would even have around 2.000 men. But despite suffering from a pretty bad manpower crisis that's almost as worse as the Wehrmacht the Red Army created tons of new divisions, and reforming the destroyed ones. Why did they do it ? The British for example often cannibalized their divisions late in the war.
