  • The Soviet Union suffered the greatest number of lives lost during World War II. Estimates vary, but it is generally agreed that the total was over 20 million people, a number that includes both military and civilian deaths.
  • The massive scale of the Eastern Front and the brutal tactics employed by both the Axis and Soviet forces led to catastrophic losses. The siege of Stalingrad, the Battle of Kursk, and Operation Barbarossa were especially deadly campaigns.
