-Caveat Lector-
FWIW, according to R.E. and T.N. Dupuy's _Encyclopedia of Military
History_, 2nd Revised ed., p. 1198, the number of WWII *military dead*
was:
USA--292,100
Britain--397,762 (less than half their WWI loss)
France--210,671 (less than 1/6 their WWI loss)
USSR--7,500,000 (includes @ 2,000,000 POWs died in captivity)
China--500,000 (undoubtedly higher but most Chinese dead were civilians)
Germany--2,850,000
Italy--77,500
Italy--1,506,000
All others--1,500,000
Total civilian dead is estimated at 26-34,000,000
I've seen somewhat different figures for many of the above. Calculations
can vary depending on whether or which categories of "non-combat" deaths
(disease, death in captivity) or missing are included or excluded.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
