Erwin, please note that the Romanian flag presented is the current Romanian flag.

Before Communist Era we had (including in WW2):

Also for sure the actual Australian flag it wasn't in WW2.
http://www.ausflag.com.au/info/flagsact.html

Also I suppose that New Zealand, South Africa, Canada together with Australia had Union Jack in WW2.

Hey Erwin, is it possible to list your sources? do you remember? If not, its ok.

This work is a recopilation between internet pages.
The flags are linked from various sites,so,they haven`t the same size.

you`re not going to find a source identically as my work,at least,some differences.

but if you want,i can search for you one like this :D .

Erwin- where's the country that suffered the greatest number of war dead, China? My research turned up this- "In China as many as 20-35 million perished, 9 million in Korea, 4 million in Indonesia, 1.5 million in India, 2 million in Indo-China (Vietnam) alone and another 1 million over the remainder of Southeast Asia." The low estimates in China are 10-15 million. :shock: :(

Oh yeah- the totals account from 1931 when Manchuria was 1st invaded. 1941-45 figures are worthless since there was lots of killing going on in Asia before that.

Good Point, but i guess he didn't list them because they weren't a major player once conquered, but from i know they lost about 25-30million ppl in this area, the majority being civilians.

13.3 million Russian soldiers killed... that takes some thinking to get around. Man that is deep really deep and really comitted.

Another truly appalling tally is the death count in Poland. The horror must have been un-imaginable.

Great post Sturm!

When you have but one infantry tactic (human wave assault), and believe your "human resources" to be inexhaustible, and a complete and utter contempt for human life, you end up with figures like that.

That's not really true, Their still were battles and fighting and don't forget the Cairo conference as well as Burma and Indo-China.

The reason is because China was overshadowed by what was happening in Europe and ultimately was considered the "backwater" of the second world war.

Not to mention there's not much information about the subject in the west.
