"It's difficult to conceptualize excessively large numbers, particularly when they pertain to human tragedies. But this highly-engaging animated data visualization by Neil Halloran makes WWII-related deaths all too comprehensible. The 15-minute video (it's well worth the time to watch), titled "The Fallen of World War II," is divided into three sections. The first is an analysis of soldier fatalities by nation, while the second tackles civilian deaths (including the Holocaust). The final section provides a fascinating and illuminating overarching perspective of WWII in the context of previous conflicts and those that followed." See here

fascinating indeed. Should be seen by a lot of people, if not everyone. |

I saw this last week and shared it on my FB page. A sobering piece of work. If I had the power, I'd make it mandatory viewing for every high school student not just in the U.S., but every other country on the globe. The ignorance of WWII history is pathetic world wide. BTW, There's a FB page called World War Two Buffs. Lotsa good info there daily. Thats where I saw this doc. |

I actually ended up feeling optimistic after seeing the long peace in which I grew up in. But I still can see the Soviet dead fly by and wondering when it would end. |
