adding a new source for number of murdered during the time period of the Holocaust https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/documenting-numbers-of-victims-of-the-holocaust-and-nazi-persecution Jack90s15 ( talk) 03:57, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
Add it, go for it. Be bold-- Woogie 10w ( talk) 03:59, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
put the source in it but it went below where it says World War II on the bottom so I put the link next to where I put the estimate if it needs fixing up and go ahead thank you still getting used to Wikipedia editing properly Jack90s15 ( talk) 04:27, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
The opening mentions three separate 2005 estimates. Are these related? Was there a major effort at the time to determine casualties? If so, should that mentioned? -- The Vital One ( talk) 18:38, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
I made an edit to clarify the issue. The Overmans project was sponsored by a private German foundation, he was given access to the personnel files of those who served during the war. His estimate of 5.3 million was made using statistical analysis. The Overmans study was published and endorsed by the German military authorities. The 2005 German government figure is based on 3.2 million confirmed dead and 1.1 million adjudicated dead in legal proceedings. It does not represent an enumeration of the total war dead.
