War's losses less than are thought
Insurance analyst Edward A. Woods argues that wartime mortality is overestimated by German propaganda and public fear. Using British Canadian and French data, he estimates actual deaths among casualties around 7 to 12 percent for various units, with disease deaths very low. He notes life insurers gauge risk starting overseas service and that many claims are lower than sensational reports imply.
