- German_casualties_in_World_War_II abstract "Statistics for German World War II military casualties are divergent and contradictory. The wartime casualty figures compiled by German High Command are often cited by military historians when covering individual campaigns in the war. The German High Command figures cannot be considered definitive because they cover the period up until January 31, 1945, leaving out major battles at the end of the war, also they include prisoners held by the allies who survived the war. A 1946 estimate by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. put German military dead at 3.250 million, a figure that still appears in many reference works. By the end of 1954, the West German military search service Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt) had identified approximately 4 million military dead and missing. In 1969, the German military historian Burkhart Müller-Hillebrand estimated the total dead and missing at 4.0 million men. These figures were to remain unchallenged until the 1990s when the German historian Rüdiger Overmans conducted a statistical survey of the records at the military search service Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt). The Overmans study put the total German military war dead at 5.3 million. Overmans found that the wartime casualty figures compiled by German High Command were incomplete because the reporting system broke down during the chaos of the war.Estimates of combined military and civilian German war dead range from 5.5 to 6.9 million, the lower number are losses in 1937 borders, the higher figure includes losses of the ethnic Germans in east-central Europe. German military losses also include ethnic Germans outside of Germany and Austrians conscripted during the war. According to a 1956 West German government report total losses due to allied strategic bombing within the Third Reich borders of 1942 were 635,000 including 570,000 civilians, 39,000 foreign workers and prisoners of war and 26,000 police and military personnel. A 2005 report by the German Red Cross put the death toll due to strategic bombing at 500,000. The German figures have been disputed by Richard Overy in a 2013 study that estimated 353,000 persons were killed by British and American bombing of German cities. Overy maintains that the official German estimates of air war dead for the last three months of the war are based on incorrect speculations.The West German government estimated 300,000 Germans (including Jews) were victims of Nazi political, racial and religious persecution and that 200,000 were murdered in the Nazi euthanasia program. Civilian deaths due to the Flight and expulsion of Germans (1944–50) and the Forced labor of Germans in the Soviet Union are sometimes included with World War II casualties. During the Cold War the West German government estimated the death toll at 2.225 million during the wartime evacuations, forced labor in the Soviet Union as well as the post war expulsions. This figure was to remain unchallenged until the 1990s when some German historians put the actual death toll in the expulsions at 500,000 confirmed deaths. The German Historical Museum puts the figure at 600,000 dead, they maintain the figure of 2 million expulsion deaths cannot be supported. However, the position of the German government, the German Federal Agency for Civic Education and the German Red Cross is that the death toll in the expulsions is between 2.0 to 2.5 million civilians.".
