Under Hitler's leadership and racially motivated ideology, the Nazi regime was responsible for
the genocide of at least 5.5 million Jews and millions of other victims whom he and his followers
deemed Untermenschen ("sub-humans") and socially undesirable. Hitler and the Nazi regime were
also responsible for the killing of an estimated 19.3 million civilians and prisoners of war. In addition,
29 million soldiers and civilians died as a result of military action in the European Theatre of World
War II. The number of civilians killed during the Second World War was unprecedented in the history
of warfare.
