A fascinating visualization of the deaths suffered by each country during WW2. Lot's of things I didn't know. For example, Ethiopia suffered as many losses on a per capita basis as the US. India lost more than the US, UK, Italy, Korea, and France combined. I knew about the massive Russian losses, but didn't know that China had lost nearly as many.
What's the Chinese "Saving Private Ryan"? Or the Ethiopian "Bridge on the River Kwai"?
