The table above has been compiled from three sources:-

1. Alan Bullock - Hitler and Stalin: Parallel Lives pp987
2. The Times Atlas of the Second World War pp204,205
3. Richard Overy - Russia's War pp288
The highest estimate for each country was selected during compilation - in the case of ref.3 the figures for military deaths are given as recent official figures and the civilian deaths are those estimated from a 1996 study by B V Sokolov - although the author points out that an accurate figure is difficult to calculate.
*The figures for these countries were very different in the three sources

** The military deaths for Spain, a neutral country during the war, are attributed to volunteers in the Axis (4500) and Allied (7500) armies. According to source 2, above, 10,000 Spaniards died in concentration camps. These figures may be very inaccurate and may be reviewed later.

*** This table does not take into account the 3 million Indians who died due to famine in 1943.

Answer 2

a million.) Human casualties of the conflict and immediately following The Stalin purges places Russian loses at round an envisioned 50 million people. This huge style isn't appropriately shown by using lack of documentation from the Russian authorities on the time. 2.) protection rigidity progression leaped ahead with the German engineers captured in the course of the conflict and tank, airplane and small palms production higher dramatically (form T tanks, AK-40 seven, MiG planes) quite a number of those advancements stemmed from guns study in the course of the conflict 3.)

Answer 3

As with all wars, it is impossible to calculate exactly how many people have passed away. But here is an approximation for WWII:

About 63 million people, or 3% of the world population, died in the war (though estimates vary): about 24 million soldiers and 38 million civilians.

Answer 4

Not the exact amount.

It's estimated around 60 million, with 55 million dying in the Europe theatre of war. More were civilians than soldiers.

Answer 5

I don't know that exact amount of people, but it's estimated that 62 million died.

Answer 6

That's a heck of a lot of people when compared to the 3000+ deaths so far in the War on Terror.

Putting it into perspective, I mean.
