Douglas,

You are correct. I was depending on memory, and had too many numbers going through my head. At the time of the reduction mandated by the Allied Commission, the Provisional Reichswehr had approx. 400,000 personnel. By 1924 the official reported strength of the Reichswehr was 99,086. (Ref: "The Reichswehr and the German Republic 1919-1926" by Harold Gordon).

Thanks for the correction...

Ron
