    country with the largest number of WWII causalities was Russia, with over 21 million.[9]
    For every five German soldiers who died in WWII, four of them died on the Eastern Front.[2]
    It is estimated that 1.5 million children died during the Holocaust. Approximately 1.2 million of them were Jewish and tens of thousands were Gypsies.[9]
    Eighty percent of Soviet males born in 1923 didn’t survive WWII.[2]
    Between 1939 and 1945, the Allies dropped 3.4 million tons of bombs, which averaged to 27,700 tons per month.[2

    With a total of 65 million deaths in WWII the number of future man years and generations lost is almost immeasurable. If the average person killed in WWII had 30 more years of life expectancy thats roughly 2 billion man years lost. When you add the generations of people who never existed youre looking at an astronomical number of man years lost. If half of the 65 million created the non exsistance of 4 generations with 3 children each thats 360 million wirh a life expect of say 60. That's over 20 billion more man years not counting the offspring of the generations themselves. Immeasurable anf beyond conprehension

    80% of the German armed forces were deployed in the east so one might expect as much.

    When you add in the "cream of the crop"from WWI, It is hard to see how the Germans lasted as ling as they did in WWII.

    Good point. This is an aspect that is seldom addressed. As time marches on it becomes haunting. A soldier who died in battle or an offspring that nevrt was could have been someone that changed the world we live in. We will simply never know.

    The Marines wore fatigues. The Army wore uniforms complete with ties.
