Well Polish army squads were 13 – 14, Japanese Army squads 14. Italian Army 18.

US para squads were 12, even ‘standard’ UK and German squads late war were 10 (bigger Early War).

6 men isn’t a squad, it’s a ‘fire team’ to use current terminology.

So an infantry platoon with two compulsory squads ranging in size, isn’t really (for example) the Japanese platoon of 3 squads of 14 plus the grenade discharger team..
