Here’s a link to the death and casualties of WWII. Not that these are particularly helpful to you in your project but do illustrate some interesting realities of the war not often discussed in the West. Especially the Russian numbers relative to the US and the level of suffering which this clearly entailed and goes along way to dispel the saviour narrative we’re so inclined to perpetuate in the west.

Here’s also a US military staff officer perspective of many of the internal challenges of both sides of the conflict who offers some interesting and challenging insights. He’s also a Substack author and his latest article offers some very different interpretations on who sought peace during the conflict and why it was stopped. If nothing else he does not

offer up the typical saviour analysis most western history offers on the subject. Cheers and look forward to the publication.

Thank you Medium Bad! Yes, those numbers are just so beyond comprehension. I get shocked all over again every time I see the number of deaths in the Soviet Union and China. Had no idea there were that many deaths in Indonesia.
