What was the total number of deaths in world war 2?

Answer 1

It is estimated the death toll was 63-60 deaths in World War 2. Half the death toll is was of the Soviets who lost about 20-25 million people. The Jews had a death told 6 million together with other people like homosexuals, gypsies and members of resistents groups in concentration camps suffered the most in WW2.

Second Answer by editor: The total death toll has been recounted using computers. So far the death toll of World War 2 world wide is 71-72 million worldwide. It has been hard to get an exact death toll because some people were vaporized in bombs, fires and the atomic blast. There were so many people who never had their deaths recorded too. The Soviets lost 20 million people when the Nazis invaded their nation. The Jewish death toll is 6 million and the death toll of the "undesirables" that the Nazis killed is 5 million. It is not included in the Jewish death toll. Anyway many web sites show a figure between 65 to 70 million and you should use those figures for now until the recounts are done. It may never be accurate.

Answer 2

A completely accurate World War 2 Death Count is an impossibility. Any figures that you see are going to reflect the sources and methodology of the author. Most published figures are between 50 million and 75 million. In some nations, the number of civilian deaths was far higher than the number of military deaths. China had roughly 10 million civilians slaughtered; civilian deaths in Poland, Germany and elsewhere included millions of death camp inmates. Massacres and death camps resulted in over a million civilians dead in Yugoslavia. Japan's total losses are thought to have been between 2 and 3 million. The USSR's total losses (perhaps 20 million) were a staggering 14-15% of the population. It is widely agreed that the largest numbers of military deaths were troops of the USSR (over 10 million troops dead) and Germany (3 to 5 million troops dead). All together there may have been as many as 25 million military deaths and nearly 50 million civilian deaths. Roughly 15 to 20 million of those civilians were victims of systematic Nazi murders using death camps or outright massacres.
