What people died in World War 2?

Answer 1

To start with are easy ones like Ernie Pyle, Carole Lombard, and Glenn Miller, as well as ones who are better-known today like Ann Frank, the Dutch priest Titus Brandsma, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Sister Teresa Benedicta (Edith Stein). Determining which deaths are war-related and which are not may not always be easy; it has been difficult for the current writer to find information about major cultural figures in the UK and Europe who died as a result of air-raids or enemy action (some, like the elderly composer Emil Reznicek in Berlin, and the young Anton Webern in Vienna, died in the difficult conditions after the war's end). Famous people often had the financial mobility, property and connections that allowed them to seek a safe environment, though for whole regions this option became universally inaccessible, so there must be many deaths of the famous people of the early 20th century that happened in the War, and most of the world has forgotten. The level of destruction in London, Germany as a whole, Poland, the Baltic States, Italy, and the eastern Soviet Union was positively epic--and then there were the concentration camps. How's about some help on this from other history mavens?
