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.

Here are some estimates:
The total civilian deaths were as many as 45 million from all causes, the vast majority in China, the USSR, and Eastern Europe. China may have had as many as 16 million killed from all causes including famine.
Examples:
Soviet Union - 13 to 18 million
China - 10 to 16 million
Germany - 1.5 to 3 million
Japan - 1 million
France - 0.3 million
US - (12,000 including 9500 Merchant Marine)
Great Britain - (67,000 including civilian seamen)
These totals do not include the 6 million Jews and other ethnic groups killed by the Nazi regime.

The total military deaths were over 24 million.
Examples:
Soviet Union - 9 to 14 million
China - 4 million
Germany - 5 million
Japan - 2.1 million
France - 200,000
US - 407,000
Great Britain - 384,000
It's estimated that around 46 Million civilians were killed during World War 2. 11 Million was due to the Holocaust and around 12 Million (not including Soviet POWs) were killed, so this made the civilian death toll quite high.
38,573,000
It's estimated that 32,166,500 to 49,952,200 died in 'Allied countries.' Then, 958,700 to 3,228,700 are estimated to have been killed in the Third Reich.
Over 60 million people were killed, which was over 2.5% of the world population.
*There were eight civilian casualties at Pearl Harbor from friendly fire and airplane crashes during the melee. *There was another civilian on the West Coast who was killed by a Japanese "baloon" bomb. *There were certainly more killed at sea by Japanese and German submarine/ship attacks upon non-military ships but it'll take a bit more research to obtain an exact, or approximate, number of deaths.
Around 48.2 Million Civilians were reportedly to be killed during World War 2, 84% were Allied Civilian Deaths and most of it were USSR Civilian Deaths with 14.6 Million.
418,500 US Citizens were killed during WW2.
5.53 Million German Soldiers were reportedly to be killed during World War 2.
Around 5.8 Million Poles were killed during World War 2, 5.5 Million being Civilian Deaths. with that 5 Million were killed in the Holocaust.
Approximately 10 million killed, and a total of about 20 million injured.
They did not keep count of how many people were killed by the bazooka in World War 2. They don't have that luxury during battles to do that type of counting.
