The WW1 Soldiers KIA in a Single Day on the Western Front

Check out our New Biography Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics Modern warfare casualty numbers are often deceiving as they record how many soldiers can no longer fight not how many were killed. Casualty figures include those Killed In Action (KIA) but they also count those Wounded In Action (WIA), Missing In Action (MIA) and those taken Prisoner of War (POW) as these soldiers are no longer on the unit’s roll call. This is further complicated because a lot of nonfatal wounds that occurred on one day will eventually days later kill the soldier. Prisoners offer the same difficulties as POWs often die in the horrible conditions of the prison camps. For example, during World War II the Nazis were particularly brutal to their Soviet prisoners causing 3.3 to 3.5 million deaths, or 57% of all Soviet POWs. →Subscribe for new videos every day! https://www.youtube.com/user/toptenznet?sub_confirmation=1 Help us translate our videos: https://www.youtube.com/timedtext_cs_queue?msg=10&tab=0 - Learn more why you might want to help: http://ift.tt/1l7FnjV Find more lists at: http://www.toptenz.net Entertaining and educational top 10 lists from TopTenzNet!
