[QUOTE="D. Hargrove, post: 3141907, member: 41761"] The atrocities of WWII were truly astonishing on many, many levels. From the attack on Pearl Harbor to the attempted systematic elimination of an entire race (civilian) to the loss of life on the Japanese mainland (civilian) to the horrors inflicted by Russian Soldiers in the "Rape of Berlin" to the Japanese "Rape of Nanking". The civilian toll of the War was much higher than their respective Military. The results of the Atomic bombings of the Japanese mainland were without a doubt brutal and costly, but still less than half that of the estimated civilian casualties of Germany on the whole. [SIZE=5][B]WORLDWIDE CASUALTIES WWII* [/B][/SIZE] Battle Deaths 15,000,000 Battle Wounded 25,000,000 Civilian Deaths 45,000,000 *Worldwide casualty estimates vary widely in several sources. The number of civilian deaths in China alone might well be more than 50,000,000.
