Things I didn't know: More British civilians died in WWII than in Royal Navy

In a footnote in the Orwell
diaries, I learned that more British civilians were killed by enemy action
during World War II than were members of the Royal Navy (60,595 vs.
50,758). 

Meanwhile, in other news related
to World War II, for the first time in nearly 70 years, there is not
a single American tank on German soil.
