That number is certainly fictitious. Germany was engaged in WWI for ~1500 days and suffered ~2,000,000 total deaths (twice that wounded). The average German daily death toll was ~1350. While this obviously did not occur evenly, any day that saw 37,000 deaths would represent a massive battle with hideous losses. For comparison, German casualties (killed and wounded) for July 1-10, 1916 - the initial ten days of the Somme - were only 46,319.

The German was apparently "Im Westen nichts Neues" it was a book, and that's all of it that I remember.
