As part of a digital humanities project, I am seeking the most reliable and current estimates of total casualties during the second world war by country (inlcuding countries in North Africa if possible). I have consulted books and online resources, which tend to be at least a decade old, but I am curious if the H-German community can recommend specific works or sites that offer the latest estimates, Thank you.

Hi Jonathan, I'm also curious about this and have struggled to find numbers. Would you let me know if anyone gives you any tips? For what it's worth, I found the (online) Encyclopedia Britannica article on this to be very thorough.

Hi,
my original reply seems to have gotten lost somehow, so I am posting it again. There are stats on Statista on this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1293510/second-world-war-fatalities-...
It discusses the problem with sources on these figures.
Best,
Alex
