<P> The sources for the casualties of the individual nations do not use the same methods, and civilian deaths due to starvation and disease make up a large proportion of the civilian deaths in China and the Soviet Union . The losses listed here are actual deaths; hypothetical losses due to a decline in births are not included with the total dead . The distinction between military and civilian casualties caused directly by warfare and collateral damage is not always clear - cut . For nations that suffered huge losses such as the Soviet Union, China, Poland, Germany, and Yugoslavia, sources can give only the total estimated population loss caused by the war and a rough estimate of the breakdown of deaths caused by military activity, crimes against humanity and war - related famine . The casualties listed here include 19 to 25 million war - related famine deaths in the USSR, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and India that are often omitted from other compilations of World War II casualties . </P> <P> The footnotes give a detailed breakdown of the casualties and their sources, including data on the number of wounded where reliable sources are available . </P>
