Luxembourg's numbers are wrong
hi, the numbers of luxembourgish casualties are a little wrong. As often described in multiple books, the percentage of casualties compared to the total 1939 population of luxembourg is around 2%, making it the highest loss suffered by a country in western europe. this is mainly due to the battle of the bulge ravaging half of the country. Anyway i have the following numbers out of this book: Michel Pauly : Geschichte Luxemburgs , 2013, ISBN-978-3-406-62225-0 p.102:
2848 dead luxembourgers forcefully serving in the german Wehrmacht
2048 dead civilians due to military actions (mainly Battle of the Bulge)
1208 dead deported luxembourgish jews (in concentration camps)
791 dead deported luxembourghish political prisoners (in concentration camps)
154 dead luxembourgish civilians who were forcefully resettled in the east
57 dead luxembourgers due to military actions serving in various allied forced
7106 total casualties -> which brings it to 2,45% of the total prewar population of luxembourg, like described in many books: highest perecentage loss of any western-european country.
This information is in my opinion very important, because the very high death-toll luxembourg had to endure during WWII made the allies recognize Luxembourg's important contribution to the allied war effort and with it Luxembourg's independence was never questioned again. (like after WWI when Belgium and France questionned the commitment of luxembourg to the Entente cause.)
Can somebody please put this right ?
Thank you very much Letzebuergerr
Update citations
hi, citation #11's link is actually http://necrometrics.com/20c5m.htm instead of the one that's currently on the article. the website switched domains and I would like to see an edit reflecting that.
The Graph #2
Placing Lithuania and Latvia into Allied nations is dubious at best. Nazis were welcomed as liberators[1] and the resistance was almost entirely foreign (poles and russians along with Jewish partisans) [2]. Casualties numbers are completely unreliable as the only census data available was from 1923 (nearly 20 years before the war) and 1959 (15 years after the war) [3]. The only point of consensus is that vast majority of casualties were Jewish, Polish and Russian.
- I agree. The independent states that existed pre-Soviet annexation were not recognised by the Western Allies of 1940 as belligerents and there were no defensive alliances made by the Baltic states with these Allies (then UK, France, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Holland and Luxembourg).Cloptonson (talk) 07:17, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
Civilian deaths due to Japanese persecution (Semi-protected edit request on 11 February 2025)
Template:Edit semi-protected "change the blank in Approx. Totals of Civilian deaths due to Japanese persecution in the Table Human losses of the Japanese Empire in World War II to 7,750,000 to 8,500,000"
"change 3,100,000 in Approx. Totals of Civilian deaths due to Japanese persecution in the Table Human losses of the Japanese Empire in World War II to 10,980,000 to 11,730,000"
Hello there, I noticed that in the table "Human losses of the Japanese Empire in World War II (included in above figures of total war dead)." under "Japanese Empire" under "Human losses by country", the the "Approx. Totals" number of "Civilian deaths due to Japanese persecution" is blank. But there are numbers in the "Country" block above (China: 7,500,000, Burman and India: 250,000 to 1,000,000). That lead to the "Approx. Totals" of "Total deaths" is wrong. I don't have the right to edit it currently, could anyone see this help confirm and correct this? Thank you very much.

Categories for China and Poland?
Figured China and Poland need their own specific categories like the US and the USSR, as they suffered some of the most casualties Safetypinzz (talk) 05:18, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
