How many people did tanks kill in WW2?

No one can say for sure, because those kind of statistics were not kept by either side. It is likely that tanks killed less people than aerial bombings, or artillery or infantry combat or starvation/disease. Also the Nazi Death Camps killed several millions of civilians, whereas tanks killed maybe a few hundred thousand soldiers at the most, primarily on the Eastern Front in Europe.


What was significant about the battle of wounded knee?

It included one of the earliest documented examples of "friendly fire" by trigger-happy US troops. About half of chief Bigfoot's 350 followers were killed in the fight, along with 25 of the US soldiers. 39 more soldiers were wounded. The troops were firing rifles and small artillery pieces (Hotchkiss guns) from all four sides at once, meaning that they had no chance of missing their own men on the opposite side of the camp. It is likely that practically all the US casualties were caused by US soldiers.

Why were the machine-gunner crew more likely to be killed by the enemy than the footsoldier if they were captured?

I think that the machine-gunner crews were more likely to be killed by the enemy than foot soldiers, if they were captured because of the simple fact that they thought they should bring it among themselves to kill them instead of capturing them because that would be even harder.
