Question: How many people died in WWII!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
60,000,000 is a good estimate!. It was the most devastating war in human history!.

But the range is basically anywhere between 40,000,000 - 72,000,000!. 40 million is the conservative, early post-war estimate!. 60 million is more probable based on newly released records of the past few decades!. Wikipedia puts it at 72 million, but it includes 12 million famine deaths!. It's debatable to which degree those should be included!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, let me see!. If you start with the 6 millions who died in concentrations camps, then add in the 15 to possibly 30 million from the U!.S!.S!.R!. Then add in the ones from the allied nations plus the Axis nations such as Germany, Italy and Japan!. Plus the civilian population and armies of the countries occupied by the Axis nations, possibly another 3 to 5million or more!. You get a total of at least 25 million and as much as 40 to 50 million!. Certainly a lot more than the populations of North and South Vietnam yet alone the number of American deaths in the Vietnam War!. The only thing that is greater during the Vietnam War has the tonnage of bombs dropped on Hanoi during December 1972 was more than all the bombs dropped in World War 2 by all the countries involved!.

Have a nice day!. There are probably website where you can get more exact figures on deaths during the Second World War!. For example Wikipedia!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The exact numbers are not, and will not, ever be known!. However, estimates range from 40 million to 80 million killed!. Personally, I believe it was about 70 million killed!.

The Soviet Union suffered the most casualties with about 10 million soldiers killed and 25 million civilians killed!. China was after that, with a grand total of 20 million dead!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The estimated total, both military and civilian, is 48, 321,700 lives!. Presumably it would include victims of genocide as well!.
