Civilians killed totaled from 40 to 52 million, including 13 to 20 million from war-related disease and famine. Total military dead: from 22 to 25 million, including deaths in captivity of about 5 million prisoners of war. Over 14% of the Soviet Population perished; about 8% of the German population perished; only.032 of the U. S. population perished; Next to the Soviet Union, China suffered the most deaths at 20 million, about 4% of the total population. Dollar costs for the war ($288,000,000,000 for U. S. alone in 1940 dollars; it would be $5,000,000,000,000 today); U. S. S. R. spent about 9,000,000,000,000 rubles in today’s purchasing power. The total cost of war in today’s dollars is $15,000,000,000,000-$20,000,000,000,000.
