The toilet paper that the German Soldier uses are
indeed very good for cleaning your rifle barrels and also wiping off the dirt and mud that the rifle
accumulates. That is one reason that they use so much. Anyway, it is not 100 rolls a day, but 100 SHEETS per day!!

Did you miss this bit in the story?? :
A team of military accountants was set to work. Computers whirred. Worried phone calls were made to battalion commanders, and an answer was found: the figure was wrong.
Eight hundred million sheets - not rolls - of lavatory paper were used last year. There had, apparently, been a slip of the pen. That equates to about 5.3 million rolls for the ministry’s 360,000 uniformed and civilian employees, although precision still eluded the officials. “It is difficult to say exactly how many sheets are in a roll since some are three-ply,” an official said. Ministry accountants are working on the basis of a 150-sheet roll.

I was in Germany in the mid 70's. The TP I experienced off base could be used to wash your car or sand a floor. They must be selling it to carpenters!
