∙ 13y ago418,500 Americans and 7,343,000 Germans were killed, so the ratio is about 17.5 Germans per American.
Measured in only military deaths, the numbers are 407,300 American soldiers and 5,533,000 German soldiers, or about 13.6 Germans per American.
(These are only total numbers, i.e. not the number of Germans killed by Americans, and vice versa, but the total amount of Germans and Americans killed respectively in WW2.)
........
If you were to look at the War in Europe as a whole (British Commonwealth, American, and Soviet forces), the German armed forces inflicted a 2:1 kill ratio. They were outnumbered 3.5:1.

∙ 12y agoThe accepted figure for American military personnel killed in World War II is 418,500. The total casualty rate is roughly ten times that number. "Casualty" in military use means "wounded and bleeding". Someone who's finger was nicked by flying shrapnel is a casualty. So is someone who was killed, and everyone in-between. In other words, all deaths were casualties, but only about 10% of casualties resulted in deaths.
