dont listen to this they dont know what there talkin about
^ya, coming from someone who doesn't know the proper use of "there"
As is typical, there are multiple amounts cited. According to the Oxford companion to Military History, casualties were as follows:
Killed in action: 291,557
other deaths: 113,842
total dead: 405,399
Total wounded: 670,846
Total dead or wounded: 1,076,245
Missing: 30,314
Note that the Washington World war two memorial indicates 404,800 dead, so there are small discrepancies between sources.
