History is my favorite subject. Here are some world war 2 facts:
- The first German serviceman killed in the war was killed by the Japanese (China, 1937)
- The first American serviceman killed was killed by the Russians (Finland 1940).
- 80% of Soviet males born in 1923 didn't survive World War 2.
- 40,000 men served on U-Boats during World War 2; 30,000 never returned.
- Germany lost 40-45% of their aircraft during World War 2 to accidents
The US Army had more ships that the US Navy.
