The greatest invasion in the history of warfare took place when the Allies attacked the beaches of Normandy in the push to liberate Europe from Hitler.
Yet what a price to pay for war as the following excerpt from the book, Saviors of the 20th Century - Hitler & Stalin - The War of Annihilation Between the Nazis and Communists points out.
Deaths in the European War
Russia
25.6 million
Poland
6.8
million
Yugoslavia
1.7 million
Romania
1.0 million
Germany
7.0 million
Deaths in the European War
Between 1942 and 1945 the
mass killings of millions of Russians, Poles, Catholics, Jews and others took
place. Himmler and his death squads generated staggering death
totals. While it took many years to assess the death totals for various
countries, the following military and civilian deaths are the most accurate and
current to this day.
European Campaign
Allies
1.5 million
Besides these numbers
another ten million Soviets were missing after the war. The combined
death toll of the allied alliance, the United
Kingdom , United States and France , was
just 1.5 million, military and civilians.
The death total for all
nations was 18.4 million military and an astounding 41.6 million civilians, for
a final count of 60 million deaths. The staggering results of the
campaigns of extermination undertaken by Germany , Japan and the Soviet
Union are clear in the incredible record of war casualties.
