Sixteen million Americans served in World War II. Of these, over 120,000 lived out part of the war behind barbed wire. In the European theater, 93,941 Americans were held as prisoners of war (POWs). These âKriegies,â short for Kriegsgefangener (German for POW) counted the days until liberation and created dream worlds for themselves inside the camps.
During the war, the United States lost 58,220 military personnel, in which 47,434 were killed in action while 10,786 died by other causes 3. All of them were listed on the Vietnam War Memorial located in Washington D.C. Among the allies, South Korea suffered the highest casualties with 4,407 killed in action 4; Australia had 500 5; Thailand, 351; and New Zealand, 83 4. Compared to the solid estimates of U.S. casualties, estimates of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) casualties vary. A low figure is 110,357 killed in action, while other figures range as many as 184,000 or even as high as 250,000 6.
