68 I'm uncertain about how to answer this one.
Six US Civilians were killed by Japanese Balloon Bombs in Oregon.
Fifty-five Civilians were killed at Pearl Harbor (most probably by "friendly
fire").
At least seventy civilian contractors on Wake Island were killed before it
was surrendered to the Japanese and I don't know how many died in the
Phillipenes. (At least another 98 of the civilian contractors on Wake were
slaughtered after they became prisoners.) Should they be added into the
total?
And then there is the larger question: where do you account for the
Merchant Marines? That would add between 5,500 and 8,000 more to the
civilian death toll.
There were also US civilians living in places like London and elsewhere in
Europe.
