With the casualties of civilians taken into accounts, estimates range from 60,000,000 to 260,000,000. As you can see, the aftermath was devastating.

Reliable top-end estimate are 70 million for WW2, not the 260 million quoted above. Assuming one includes the various conflicts in the run-up to WW2 (such as the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Spanish Civil War), and also include the deaths immediately after the end of the war (i.e. through the end of 1946, for things such as POWs), the high estimate would be under 80 million, with the mid-range estimate 65 million.

Do remember, that the world population at the time (circa 1940) was 2.2 billion.
