North Vietnam: 500,000 to 1,000,000 dead US: 58,000 dead South Vietnam: 1,000,000

Total U.S. deaths were approx. 58,000 (about 48,000 combat-related, 10,000 non-combat-related).

South Vietnamese Army deaths are estimated at over 200,000.

North Vietnamese and Viet Cong deaths are estimated at over 1,000,000.

Vietnamese civilian deaths estimated 500,000 to 1,000,000.

Some of the latest figures put the total number of Vietnamese killed at upwards of five million. That's one million soldiers and three to four million civilians when measuring from the beginning of the French movements to retake their colonies after WW2. One in five Vietnamese were either killed or wounded during the wars. The communists of Vietnam withheld the true numbers for a long time in order to create the illusion of power for their military.
