Second Approximately 70 million people died directly in the world wars and from war-related causes (such as disasters caused by wars, famine, lack of medical treatment, spread of infectious diseases, conscription, labor recruitment, massacres, etc.) (approximately 70 million people died in the European and African battlefields) Accounting for two-thirds, one-third of those who died on the battlefields in Europe and Africa died in Nazi concentration camps or were massacred and tortured by the Nazis. They accounted for 80% of the total number of civilians and prisoners of war who were deliberately massacred and tortured by all warring parties in World War II. %above).

Among these 70 million people, the Soviet Union accounted for 26.6 million (from 1941 to 1945, soldiers accounted for 35%. The number of injuries and illnesses caused by the war in the Soviet Union was also extremely huge. Only the injuries and illnesses of registered soldiers The cumulative number is as high as more than 18.3 million), and China accounts for about 18 million (from 1937 to 1945, of which soldiers accounted for about 15%. In addition, the cumulative number of sick and wounded caused by the war is about 16 million, so the total number of casualties is about 3,500 Ten thousand people. Henan Province was particularly disastrous. Just two disasters resulted in 4 million deaths. In the "Huayuankou Embankment Burst Incident" in 1938, 320,000 of the 890,000 people died in Henan. In 1942, the famine caused by a severe drought also occurred. Resulting in more than 3 million deaths).

The 70 million people can be divided into three categories according to the cause of death: first, soldiers who died; second, civilians and prisoners of war who died from massacres; third, people who died from war-related reasons. The total death toll of soldiers from various countries in World War II was about 18 million (excluding dead prisoners); the number of civilians and prisoners of war who died from deliberate killings by all warring parties was probably more than 18 million (more than 80 of them died at the hands of Nazi Germany) ; The number of people who died from war-related reasons, such as disasters caused by war, famine, lack of medical treatment, spread of infectious diseases, conscription, labor recruitment, etc., ranged from 15 to 30 million (this is quite subjective and depends on the country where it is located). After defining the scope of the relevant causes, countries such as China and the Soviet Union later significantly increased their respective death tolls. Because of this, the death toll in World War II varied from 50 million to 70 million). For example, the number of casualties currently listed in China is 35 million, of which 18 million are deaths. Among the 18 million people who died, the number of people who fell into the first two categories of death accounted for about 20%. In the Soviet Union, the number of deaths in the first two categories accounted for 20%. More than half of the total, the 18 million people who died in China also include more than 3 million people who died due to famine caused by the severe drought in Henan in 1942, and abnormal deaths from various causes in other non-occupied areas. The war caused the inability to rescue and the disaster expanded. , it is also reasonable to include these deaths. Shortly after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the death toll announced by China was more than 8 million, and the statistical standards have changed.

The losses (attrition) of the army in war generally consist of death, injury, capture, missing, etc. The death of soldiers also includes death in battle, death due to injuries, death due to other reasons, etc. Take the losses of the Soviet army in the Soviet-German war as an example: the cumulative losses of the Soviet army were 29.593 million. Among them, 6.817 million died (76% killed in action, 16% due to injuries, 8% due to illness, accidents, etc.), 4.456 million were captured or missing, and the cumulative number of injuries and illnesses was 18.32 million (82.9% injured, Attrition due to illness accounted for 16.6%, frostbite accounted for 0.5%). In addition, depending on the war situation of the army, the composition of its losses will be greatly different. Taking the Soviet army during the Soviet-German War as an example, the Soviet army's average monthly losses over the years were: 710,000 in 1941, 614,000 in 1942, 655,000 in 1943, 573,000 in 1944, and 700,000 in 1945. The difference is not too big. The ratio between 1941, the year with the worst losses, and 1944, the year with the lightest losses, is only 1.24 times. However, the losses over the years included deaths, injuries, The composition ratio of prisoners was very different. The monthly average number of dead and captured and missing persons in 1941 was 496,000, 271,000 in 1942, 192,000 in 1943, 147,000 in 1944, and 186,000 in 1945. The difference was as high as 3.37 times or more. Generally speaking, the attacking side has a larger proportion of wounded, while the losing side loses more because its wounded cannot be evacuated in time, or eventually become prisoners, or die due to lack of effective medical treatment. The proportion of dead and captured personnel is generally large, and the encircled troops are the most typical among them. For example, among the 280,000 German troops encircled in Stalingrad, in addition to more than 30,000 wounded soldiers who were airlifted out of the encirclement, the remaining Those who were killed were either dead or captured. Japan also encountered something similar in the Pacific battlefield. Each island became a death trap for the Japanese troops who had lost control of the sea. Death became the fate of most of the Japanese troops defending the islands.
