Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
$288 billion dollars


and in todays value

that would be over 5 Trillion dollarsWww@QuestionHome@Com

The U!.S!. spent the most money on the war, an estimated $341 billion, including $50 billion for lend-lease supplies, of which $31 billion went to Britain, $11 billion to the Soviet Union, $5 billion to China, and $3 billion to 35 other countries!. Germany was next, with $272 billion; followed by the Soviet Union, $192 billion; and then Britain, $120 billion; Italy, $94 billion; and Japan, $56 billion!. Except for the U!.S!., however, and some of the less militarily active Allies, the money spent does not come close to reflecting the war’s true cost!. The Soviet government has calculated that the USSR lost 30 percent of its national wealth, while Nazi exactions and looting were of incalculable amounts in the occupied countries!. The full cost to Japan has been estimated at $562 billion!. In Germany, bombing and shelling had produced 4 billion cu m (5 billion cu yd) of rubble!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The total financial cost of the war is estimated at about US$1 trillion!.
And this is the most accurate value!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
