World War II Losses

In all branches Of the armed forces
there were about thirteen million
men and women, which, roughly

killed, wounded or missing.

598,935 wounded in action and l0,-
S97 missing in the army: 45,572 dead
24678 wounded and l,648 missing
in the navy; 20,237 killed, 55,408
wounded and I18 missing in the
Marines, and 800 killed. 213 wound
ed and 80 missing in the coast guard,
Fatalities in all branches of the
service for the four years were ap-
proximately twice the highway
deaths in the United States for a
like period, and the difference with
respect to injured is even less. At
that, however, it is staggering toll
to pay, but is written down as the
price of preserving liberty.
American losses are small by COM
parison with some of the other war
ring nations, but nowhere is the loss
felt more keenly than in the United
