C. 40 million + people died in the European theater of World War II.

Death toll totals for World War II are debated somewhat, and have some ranges within which estimates occur. Using figures provided by the National World War II Museum, the death count in the European theater of the war (both military and civilian deaths) totaled between 41 and 45 million people. The Soviet Union bore the heaviest casualty count, with 24 million who died. The Holocaust, which Germany carried out against Jews and others, is another dreadful part of the death count in Europe.

And then there was the Asian-Pacific theater of war as well. About 20 million Chinese persons and 3 million Japanese persons lost their lives in World War II.

Worldwide in the horrific conflict between nations that was World War II, there were approximately 15 million battle deaths (plus another 25 million wounded), and 45 million civilian deaths.
