Yeah, by manpower Germany’s was definitely larger, by budget though, our annual military spending blows theirs out of the water.

At the height of the war, Germany spent about 380 billion dollars adjusted for inflation to the year 2021

In 2021, the U.S. spent about 700 billion dollars on it’s military.

Though to be fair, the U.S. has a lot more of an economy and population to work with and isn’t investing nearly as much, far more was spent on the military by Germany as a percentage of their GDP, and their military had more people per capita than the U.S. does today.
