Yes it does. But it sucks otherwise. The right side of the mobile brach is way better for killing things.

It really depends on what you want out of life.
Most people see extra manpower from Mobile Warfare and think: "I have more manpower to spend as Germany."
But some people see extra manpower, and think: "That's 12 more months until I need to nerf my industrial output as Germany by swapping to service by requirement."
I've seen it played both ways by competent human opponents on Germany. I prefer the bonuses to actual divisions over the manpower, but I wouldn't tell someone who did it the other way they were wrong.
It's one of the few tougher strategic calls in HOI4, I feel.

Maybe not so tempting now that you can get millions of collaborators into your army.
The reason behind my logic is thus. As Germany you basically will win or lose by end of 1942. While it happens it is rare for Germany to win if they don't severly cripple or knock out Russia by the end of 1942. Now doctrines are almost always completed before the end of 1942 and you most likely made the choice in 1940 on which branch to take.
So what you actually do is cripple your offensive operations now for a possible future usage of more man power. Germany doesn't need the man power in 1940-1942. It already has all the MIC it needs at that time. What you must do is destroy Russia and that means getting the extra offensive punch.
What good is the extra man power when Russia will simply out produce and out number you if you don't basically win by end of 1942? All that MP does is delay the final loss date.
And while some players might pick it, that doesn't mean it's a solid logical choice. The choice is really do I want to decide the game by 42 or postpone my defeat by a few months?
