By this point in the war, the Germans were simply running out of men. Real soldiers were simply dead. Billy notes that he has been cought by five "irregulars" Two were old men who were farmers, two were teenage boys, and their commander was worn out and had been wounded four times.

Five "irregulars" Two were old men who were farmers, two were teenage boys, and their commander was worn out and had been wounded four times. The makeup of this group tells us that the German army had almost no good soldiers left to fight at the end of the war.
