The addition by Edmonds of c. 30 percent to German figures, to make them comparable to British criteria, was criticised as "spurious" by M. J. Williams in 1964. McRandle and Quirk in 2006 cast doubt on the Edmonds calculations but counted 729,000 German casualties on the Western Front from July to December against 631,000 by Churchill, concluding that German losses were fewer than Anglo-French casualties but the ability of the German army to inflict disproportionate losses had been eroded by attrition. Sheffield wrote that the calculation by Edmonds of Anglo-French casualties was correct but the one for German casualties was discredited, quoting the official German figure of 500,000 casualties.

⇒エドモンズによるドイツの数値への約30％の追加は、彼らを英国の基準と比較できるようにするためだが、1964年にM. J.ウィリアムズによってそれは「胡散（うさん）臭い」と批判された。マクランドルとクァークは2006年にエドモンズ計算に疑いを投げかけたが、チャーチルは、7月から12月までの西部戦線におけるドイツの犠牲者を、631,000人に対して729,000人と計算した。そして、ドイツの損失は英仏犠牲者よりは少なかったが、ドイツ方面軍は（自然漸減したのだから）、それに相応して損失を負わせる能力も磨耗・侵食された（はずだ）と結論した。

＞Sheffield wrote that the calculation by Edmonds of Anglo-French casualties was correct but the one for German casualties was discredited, quoting the official German figure of 500,000 casualties.
⇒シェフィールドは、英仏犠牲者のエドモンズによる計算が正しいと書いたが、ドイツの犠牲者の数値は信用されなかった。彼は、ドイツの犠牲者を500,000人とする公式数値を引合いに出したのである。
