The answer to your questions here

[phil andrade]

By the histories that I’ve read, close to one million Germans were taken prisoner by the Armistice of 1918.

 On the Western Front, 1914 -18,  if memory serves me, 770,000 were captured, half of them between mid July 1918 and the Armistice.

 

On all other fronts, 154,000 were taken prisoner .

 

Hope that helps.
