    Yes civilian deaths were higher. But military deaths are able to be counted more reliably so they are easier to compare.

    Estimates are that 38 million civilians died in WW2, so there you go. That number is way higher too.

      Oh so if you just don’t count civilians your original statement seems true. I’m sure the million dead are consoled by that.
