Tim: Your question can be confusing. It was simply World War 2. The "Great" refers to World War 1 i.e. The Great War. In Russia it is called the Great Patriotic War. We in the west cannot comprehend the losses when you consider that the USSR lost about 800 dead every minute and that this is equivalent of the entire US population in 1940 living west of the Missouri River.
Thanks, Peter. It was a great war. It has quite a distinctive hallmark. Thanks for taking the quiz.
Sir:
My father was in WWll he said the old guys called WWl the big war. But he said that any war you are in is a big one.
After serving in Vietnam war i agree any war is a big one if you are in it.
Thank you all you veterns for your service.
Pretty sneaky! All of the answers are a different way to express the same number!
Perspective is not taught in high school these days.
Lessons of appeasement are lost.
A simple chart shows a glimpse of the epic story of massive civilian deaths experienced overseas in WW2.... most before we engaged, or understood.

USA eventually lost 400,000+ military of 16 million who served.
We won decisively. Only because of total commitment at unprecedented cost.
Imagine if we were called to do that today.
That's why men like Tim's dad must be remembered, their stories repeated to our grandchildren.
One thing's certain, the Greatest Generation was those who served during WWII.
I have a deep respect for those who served whether they enlisted or were drafted...in all wars. It's a shame when a few people deviate and cause the world extreme pain. I took note of the "Hitler" stamps on that letter from your father (I presume).
Hopefully, the world will never again permit such a character to wreak havoc such as Hitler did. I fear, however, history often repeats.
