Did Greece make the biggest sacrifices in ww2 in terms of population?

by [deleted]

I read the percentages of losses per population were

Greece 10% Soviet Union 2.8% Holland 2.2% France 2% Poland 1.8% Yugoslavia 1.7% Belgium 1.5%

Are these numbers correct? Thanks in advanced.

No, Poland did, Poland lost 5.5-6 million people dead out of a pre-war population of around of around 35 million, meaning that around 16% of its total population were killed between 1939 and 1945.

The soviet union lost way more than 3%, where are you getting your figures?

If you want to go by ethnic group not nation, then over 50% of Europe's Jews were killed in WWII, across all nations.
