Notes: |
| |
1. The above table shows only
deaths not wounded. |
| |
2. Figures are rounded to nearest
1000 |
| |
3. The table above has been
compiled from three main 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.
Also: for
Australia |
| |
*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.
