was the most costly and bloody military conflict in the history of the wars, from September 1, 1939, until September 2, 1945, lasted 6 years and 1 day. It is called global, because a large part of the nations of the world intervene, primarily the great powers, and military alliances.
This analysis will include figures so that we can realize the disproportionate investments of time, resources, weapons, science and the most lamentable human lives.
More than 100 million military mobilized. 3.75% of the world's population died, more than 72 million lives. A total of 58 concentration camps built by the Nazis are registered. Discriminated in the following way.
35 million civilians: 22 million Russians. 09 million Germans. 06 million Jews. (in concentration camps) This last 03 nations with the highest number of casualties.
30 million wounded, 3 million missing.
70 countries fought in seas, land and air.
1 million unarmed German soldiers died of starvation.
2 million German soldiers died in Russian concentration camps.
Regarding the weapons used we can mention the following:
1,400,000 tons of pumps were launched from 1,940 to 1,945, on Germany and Great Britain.
92,610 aircraft were manufactured in Germany for the war.
2.007 Watercraft destined for war.
746 huddled German submarines, 5,151 allied submarines sunk.

I will mention the most outstanding Battles of the Second World War (Approx.39);
- Invasion to Poland (1,939)
- War of winter (1.939.1.940)
As we can see that the amounts of human lives lost, military deployment, moral and economic cost, are brutal and disproportionate, friends, we need peace as an emblem of our nations, if these forces and resources were used in giving prosperity to humanity, We were living in space or under the earth, to prepare ourselves for any natural phenomenon that could affect our race, that we strive to destroy each other by the unhinged caprices of the few.
I will continue doing this line of publications, for the analysis of wars, especially for the youngest who swim in this tank, and know numbers and manage to see the past with certainty of where we come from and who we are, supporting peace, above all. all the differences, racial, ideological, religious, territorial and any difference that could be the trigger of a war.
We have seen many films from the Second World War, which show, some performances that were lived in the war, but the truth is that the horror lived by these nations, has no comparison. I mention some films that I recommend about this: "the Pianist", "Apocalypse Now", "the iron cross", "Saving Private Ryan", "Schindler's List", among others.
The exact figures of the deaths, square meters of construction destroyed, disappeared, contamination of the environment, we will never know, what we do know is that every death that occurs in a war is the decadence of our species.
