Summary/Abstract: The aftermath of the Second World War on the territory of Croatia, and Yugoslavia, included massive material damage, while the death toll was likewise staggering. On the basis of the most significant archival sources, historiographical and other literature, as well as statistical/demographic and victimological works, this article discusses the human losses visited upon Croatia during the course of the Second World War by the “occupiers and their accomplices”. The article begins by presenting the initial calculations made, most often arbitrary estimates and conjectures concerning demographic losses, followed by a presentation of far more reliable statistical/demographic estimates, and finally concludes by presenting singular and enumerated indexes of specific categories of human losses substantiated by systematic research.
