It is currently listed at 550 000 IIRC though 4 independent events,with wikipedia statistics used, amount to at least 400 000 civilians dead.
Operation Meetinghouse - multiply sourced civilian dead number of 100 000, higher evaluations are common but stay in the range except a single 200k one Battle of Okinawa - 100 000 civilian, a higher number is estimated by the US army (125k-150k= Hiroshima Bombing - 120 000 civilian Nagasaki Bombing - 80 000 civilian
Used the higher ranges for the atomic bombings due to increased rate of death from radiation post hoc (though estimates are in the low thousands) and the destruction of the infastructure causing further casulaties later on in the year.
Though this may have been the 4 single largest instances of civilian death in Japan, the most powerful of them (Meetinghouse) was just one of many firebombing raids.

I replaced the top most image, as it appears to depict bodies of dead soldiers used as barricades, which I don't think is appropriate. K.e.coffman ( talk) 20:36, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
Something I notice not mentioned in the footnotes for French casualties: are total casualties known for French who served in the Nazi German forces, notably the Legion of Volunteers against Bolshevism (LVF)? So far all I have seen, in the article on the latter (cited source Littlejohn, David (1987), Foreign Legions of the Third Reich Vol. 1 Norway, Denmark, France, Bender Publishing, p.149, ISBN 978-0912138176) is that the LVF battalion of the Wehrmacht (2,271 strong) lost half its strength in action or through frostbite in the Battle for Moscow but losses through further actions in the war are not mentioned in the article. They were serving in the German forces but they did not renounce their nationality, at least nominally of the Vichy state. Cloptonson ( talk) 09:59, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
