Is there any reports made by the allies and soviets concerning body count?

    Okay, I am NOT here to question the holocaust toll. I firmly believe that 5-6 million Jews perished along with another 6-11 million non-Jews. But is there any paper or report that talk of the number of people that died?

    I hear of estimates, and I understand no one will ever know the true body count many were cremated at the hundred during a single time along with many shot and then buried in indiscriminate places.

    Has anyone took a count by counting the bodies? I understand some 2 million were identified by the photos.

    Body counts are meaningless. Many of the dead were cremated, buried in pits, or were simply listed as "missing". Estimates are all we have. We can never know about body counts since so many were reduced to ashes.
