The German surrender on 8 May 1945, and the Japanese surrender on 15 August 1945, together marked the end of World War II. Of the estimated 16 million Americans who served during the war, 406,000 had died and almost 79,000 were missing. The war with Germany resulted in roughly 24,000 unaccounted-for, and with Japan over 54,000. Of these, almost 16,000 individuals were lost in Europe (this number includes those lost in the Battle of the Atlantic). An additional 4,000 were lost in the western waters of the Atlantic. Also lost in the war with Germany were almost 4,000 servicemen serving south and west of the Mediterranean in North Africa and the Persian Gulf. In the east, over 54,000 were lost in the Pacific and in Asia. This includes American casualties lost during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Over 400 additional servicemen were lost in U.S. mainland Pacific coastal waters[2]. http://www.dtic.mil/dpmo/special/2000_wwii_report.htm
