Answer 6

~In raw numbers, the Soviet Union leads the parade with 23 million, followed closely by China at 20 million. Germany lags in at a distant third with 7.5 million with Poland's 5 million chomping on the Krauten heels. The US comes in with a dismal 418 thousand, but hey, we got Audie Murphy and John Wayne so what do the numbers mean? By percentage of population, we have as the blue ribbon winner the Poles at 18.5%, a nose to nose race between the Soviets and Lithuanians at, respectively, 13.4% and 13.7% with the Latvians nipping at their hooves with 11.4% and, 47 lengths behind and falling fast, is the USA at 0.32%. Japan checks in with 2.6 million (about 1 million of which were civilians killed by US firebombs before Hiroshima and Little Boy) and 3.75%

US involvement in the war was a joke. So was the British contribution. The war in Europe was contested between the Germans and the Soviets. The war in Asia was contested between China and Japan. France checks in with half a million and 1.3% - it's a bytch to get in the way of things, isn't it Pierre? The Brits had a whopping 450 thousand and 0.9%.

Common sense and any rudimentary knowledge of little skirmishes like Leningrad, Smolensk, Stalingrad, Kharsk or Kursk should have answered this one for you. Unfortunately, the myth taught in US history books that the weather beat the
Wehrmacht in Russia causes one to ignore what the Red Army did, and then there is the joke about the Asian war having had anything to do with the naval war or MacArthur, ignoring the real fight that started with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937. So much for the winner writing the history. No problem with that, except the truth gets lost in the fog.

I'm not sure where Lisa got her cut and paste from, but her numbers do not jibe with the official tallies from government and International Red Cross totals. And kia, just for your general edification, the Soviet Union came into being in 1922.

Given the answers you are getting here, like the US or New Zealand finished anywheres near the top 20, either in raw numbers or as percentage of population, don't you think you should do your own research. Or, you can take the word of those who know nothing and perpetuate the myths which they have been taught and go forward in your ignorance. That's how Hitler, Mao, Castro, Saddam and their ilk garnered and retained their power. Doesn't that give you at least some pause for concern when ask me to do your homework for you? If not, Georgie the Younger and the neocons thank you and bless you - and mark you as cannon fodder for the next invasion.
