The author states that the Sanitats were never upgraded after initial reporting and thus did not include wounded who later died nor MIA who later turned out to be KIA. However the Sanitats include lightly wounded, and thus give an accurate overall casualty figure for the German forces on the western front comparable with how the allies recorded casualties, even if the specific's such as KIA and WIA are not reliable in the Sanitats.
