The actual total death count for World War II will never be known. The estimates range from 50 million people to 80 million or more. Military deaths, including those who died while being held prisoner is estimated to be between 22 and 25 million.

Unfortunately, there can never be an accurate world war two death toll, as more and more victims are being found every year from grave pits used in the Holocaust and cities that were bombed flat. Historians agree that the WWII death toll is at least 60,000,000 though there are almost certainly many more.

The numbers are highly disputed. Wikipedia puts the highest figure out, 72 million people. Lowest figures reach 50 million. As a middle number, most people will say they're were approxamtely 60 million deaths in WW2.

Estimates for the total casualties of the war vary, because many deaths went unrecorded. Most suggest that some 60 million people died in the war, including about 20 million soldiers and 40 million civilians. Many civilians died because of disease, starvation, massacres, bombing and deliberate genocide. The Soviet Union lost around 27 million people during the war, including 8.7 million military and 19 million civilian deaths. One of every four Soviet citizens was killed or wounded in that war.
