I would not be sure of the accuracy of these statistics, especially with regard to the USSR and Germany.
This figure of the USSR losses includes those who died as a result of an increase in the natural pre-war mortality rate, as a result of a deterioration in the quality of food, medical care, stress, etc. Are similar losses included in figures for other countries? I doubt. It is also strange to me that the losses of the Baltic countries are deduced by a separate figure. The Red Army included the Baltic national corps, later – the national Baltic divisions. Is it possible to be sure that their losses are excluded from the total losses of the USSR? I also doubt it.
Does the loss of Germany include Austrians, Alsatians, Poles, Czechs, called up to the Wehrmacht from the territories annexed to Germany (like the new citizens of Germany)? Also from the territories of occupied countries (at least in the East), Volksdeutsche was called to the Wehrmacht, i.e. local citizens of German nationality. Do they participate in these calculations?

I posted this before. It is US-centric but it is a good "snapshot" however as I said it is not as detailed as I would like.

I saw somewhere the Japanese had the highest enemy civilian to Japanese soldier kill rate. It was 11 to 1.
