They did publish notices of those killed but as the numbers increased the amount published was reduced for propaganda/morale purposes.

Of course, getting accurate figures when a country is collapsing can be a challenge, as evidenced by today's Ukraine figures.

Thanks guys, I'm only looking for the 1940-1942 period but even so, thats a vast sea of death to try search in.
