The table above has been compiled from two sources:-
1. Alan Bullock - Hitler and Stalin: Parallel Lives pp987
2. The Times Atlas of the Second World War pp204,205 The
highest estimate for each country was selected during
compilation.
*The figures for these countries were very different in the two
sources
** The military deaths for Spain, a neutral country during the
war, are attributed to volunteers in the Axis (4500) and Allied
(7500) armies. According to source 2, above, 10,000
Spaniards died in concentration camps. These figures may be
very inaccurate and may be reviewed later.
*** This table does not take into account the 3 million Indians
who died due to famine in 1943. |
