Millions and millions. I believe that 20 million died in the battle of Stalingrad alone.
In WWI, 60,000 British soldiers died in the Battle of the Somme.
"I KNEW a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
No one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you’ll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go."
Siegfried Sassoon
