[править] Combined total
The total estimated human loss of life caused by World War II, irrespective of political alignment, was roughly 62 million people. The civilian toll was around 37 million, the military toll about 25 million. The Allies lost around 51 million people, and the Axis lost 11 million. (Note that some Axis countries switched sides and reentered the war on the side of the Allies; those nations are included in the Allied count, regardless of when the deaths occurred.) There was a disproportionate loss of life and property; some nations had a higher casualty rate than others, due to a number of factors including military tactics, crimes against humanity, economic preparedness and the level of technology.
[править] Casualties by country
The casualties of World War II were suffered disproportionately by the various participants. This is especially true regarding civilian casualties. The following chart gives data on the casualties suffered by each country, along with population information to show the relative impact of losses.

Military Deaths Losses include deaths of regular military forces from combat as well as non combat causes. Whenever possible the losses of Irregular military, Partisan (military) and Paramilitary forces have been included with military losses. The deaths of prisoners of war-POW in captivity and personnel missing in action are also included with military losses. The armed forces of the various nations are treated as single entities, for example deaths of Americans serving in the RAF are included with the UK; Austrians, Soviets and French in the Wehrmacht are included with German military losses, the exception being China because some factions supported the Japanese.
Prisoner of war deaths in Nazi captivity totaled 3.1 Million[17,Table A] and in Japanese captivity 540,000[4,Chap3]
Civilian Deaths - Includes civilian losses from military action and war related deaths caused by famine and disease; deaths due to the Nazi Holocaust which totaled 12.1 million, plus 5.7 million Jewish Holocaust victims that are listed separately [17,Table A]. Victims of Japanese war crimes totaling 5.4 million [4, Chap.3]and deaths related to the Soviet annexations in 1939-40.

Tadeusz Piotrowski Professor of Sociology at the University of New Hampshire has provided a reassessment of Poland’s losses in World War Two. Polish war dead include 5,150,000 victims of Nazi crimes against ethnic Poles and the Holocaust, the treatment of Polish citizens by occupiers included 350,000 deaths during the Soviet occupation in 1940-41 and about 100,000 Poles killed in 1943-44 during the massacres of Poles in Volhynia by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. Losses by ethnic group were 3,100,000 Jews; 2,000,000 ethnic Poles; 500,000 Ukrainians and Belarusians.[70](go to note on Polish Casualties).
The official Polish government report prepared in 1947 listed 6,028,000 war deaths out of a population of 27,007,000 ethnic Poles and Jews; this report excluded ethnic Ukrainian and Belarusian losses. However historians in Poland now believe that Polish war losses were about 2 million ethnic Poles and 3 million Jews as a result of the war. This revision of estimated war losses was the topic of articles in the Polish academic journal Dzieje Najnowsze # 2-1994 by Czesław Łuczak and Krystyna Kersten.
Another assessment Poles as Victims of the Nazi Era prepared by USHMM lists 1.8 to 1.9 million ethnic Polish dead in addition to 3 million Polish Jews [71]
Losses by geographic area were 3.3 million in present day Poland and about 2.3 million in the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union-[72] The Polish contribution to World War II included forces fighting with the western allies and the U.S.S.R. after the Polish September Campaign in 1939. The Warsaw Uprising of 1944 cost the lives of 200,000 Poles including 150,000 civilians. Military losses were 66,300 in the 1939 Polish September Campaign, 10,000 in Polish Army units with western allies, 24,700 with the 1st Polish Army alongside the USSR and 60,000 Polish resistance movement fighters; POW deaths totaled 250,000; in Germany (120,000) and in the USSR (130,000).[3,49-50]The genocide of Roma people was 35,000 persons.[13,183]Jewish Holocaust victims totaled 3,000,000[14,244] - ↑ Portuguese Timor
Officially neutral, East Timor was occupied by Japan during 1942-45. Allied commandos initiated a guerilla resistance campaign and most deaths were caused by Japanese reprisals against the civilian population. - ↑ Romania
Military casualties with Axis were 72,291 killed, 242,425 wounded and 283,322 missing and POW (only about 80,000 survived Soviet captivity). Losses as USSR allies were 21,035 killed, 90,344 wounded and 58,443 missing[10,216-217] An estimated 15,000 POWs died in German captivity out of a total of 50,000.[3,51]Figures do not include an additional estimated 40,000 to 50,000 dead in Hungarian Army.[8,58-60] Civilian losses during Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and Bukovina in 1940-41 totaled 20,000[3,51].The Romanian Fascist genocide of Roma people was 36,000 persons.[13,184]Jewish Holocaust victims totaled 469,000 including 325,000 in the territories annexed by the USSR in 1940[73].[14,244] - ↑ Singapore

The losses listed here are those reported by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Total deaths were 11,902 which included Army(8,782), Air Force(2,706), Navy(349), Merchant Navy (0) and civilian deaths(65). These losses include war related deaths during 1946-47 (878)[22]The preliminary 1945 data for South African losses was killed 6,840, missing 1,841 wounded 14,363 and POW 14,589.[20] - ↑ Spain
Military deaths were of volunteer soldiers in Germany Army.[16,515].The unit named the Blue Division was withdrawn by Spain from the eastern front in 1943. R. J.

The official total of military deaths is 8,668,400; including 6,330,000 killed in action/died of wounds and 556,000 dead from non-combat causes[7,85] plus an estimated 500,000 MIA and 1,283,000 POW dead out of 4,059,000 total POW[7,236]. However, the estimate by western historians of Soviet military POW deaths is about 3 million(out of 5.7 million total POWs).[17, Table A] Richard Overy has noted that " The official figures themselves must be viewed critically, given the difficulty of knowing in the chaos of 1941 and 1942 exactly who had been killed , wounded or even conscripted".[21,XV] The official statistics do not include an additional estimated 1,500,000 conscripted reservists missing or killed, primarily in 1941, before being listed on active strength,150,000 militia and 250,000 Soviet partisan dead. [3, 20-21]Total Soviet population losses included approximately 13 million men aged 17 to 39.[11,78]
Civilian losses presented here are for USSR in 1939 borders. Total deaths in the USSR exceeded the pre war level by 26,600,000 from 1941-45.[11,78], including 3,300,000 civilian dead in the territories annexed by the USSR in 1939-1940 [12,83-84][74] , in this schedule they are not included with USSR losses nor are the 215,000 Soviet war dead in the German armed forces.[7,278]-[24]. Civilian losses in territories annexed by USSR are included in totals of the Baltic states, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Romania. Civilian losses are poorly documented and may include victims of Soviet as well as Nazi repression. Contemporary Russian historians estimate 2.5 to 3.2 million civilian dead due to famine in Soviet territory not occupied by the Germans, these deaths are included in Soviet civilian losses.[12,158]
A Russian historian Vadim Erlikman has detailed Soviet losses totaling 26.5 million war related deaths plus 1.7 million victims of Soviet repression. Military losses of 10.6 million include 7.6 million killed or missing in action and 2.6 million POW dead (out of 5.2 million total POWs), plus 400,000 paramilitary and Soviet partisan losses.

UK casualties include losses of the colonial forces which are the topic of the following BBC article- [75]The losses of colonial troops include 3,700 African war dead which are detailed by V. Erlikman.[3,83-99]. U.K. colonial forces included units from Africa, Malaya, Burma, Ceylon, TransJordan, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Malta and the Jewish Brigade
The official U.K. report on war casualties of June 1946 provided a preliminary tally of war losses. This report listed the war deaths of 357,116; Navy (50,758); Army (144,079); Air Force (69,606); Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service (624); Merchant Navy (30,248); British Home Guard ( 1,206) and Civilians (60,595).

The U.S. Bureau of the Census published a report in 1954, The Population of Yugoslavia, p.23, that concluded that war related deaths were 1,067,000. A recent study by Vladimir ŽerjavićYugoslavia manipulations with the number Second World War victims, - Zagreb: Croatian Information center,1993 ISBN 0-919817-32-7 [81] and [82]lists total war related deaths as 1,027,000 including 237,000 Yugoslav partisans, 209,000 Ustaše and 581,000 civilians.
