I have been working on a new video project to map the losses in the European theatre.

Each bubble is 10 000 men lost. White is deceased. Yellow is missing (mostly taken prisoner).

I guess. There's no official breakdown of civilian deaths available yet.

Eastory

Yes, military losses that could be located in the data. It is 11.4 dead and missing out of which 8.7 million are dead. Some claim that the figure is larger.

Coast Guard #1

How did that one bubble end up at the Inari village in Finnish Lapland? Is it misplaced data from the Petsamo-Murmansk area?

Eastory

It represents the Soviet pursuit of the retreating Germans in 1944 the Petsamo–Kirkenes offensive. You are right that it is misplaced. Should be more in the Petsamo area, where most of the fighting was.

The Civilians are even higher (12-13 mil), but I've yet to see a study that breaks it down. If you know of one in Russian, I'd like to hear.

What about tracking the movements of the SS & Polizei units in the Eastern Front & their killings (most are available in Gilbert's Atlas). That will be very appreciated

I will make my own post about that soon.
