If the conscripts were forced to fight that means they were pointing and firing weapons, that makes them soldiers not civilians. How many of the boy's pulling up on Omaha beach 'wanted' to fight, but that didn't make them civilians, so I really don't get your point.
You're right, splitting up a figure of those who should have died and those who did die is pathetic, that would be like trying to split up Nazi's and Jews then wouldn't it? Let's just lump them together.
All I'm saying is that there can't be an accurate number in a war where conscripts, real soldiers and civilians wear no symbol to differentiate them. The lines are blurred more then a 30pt gaussian.
Wheather we should have been there or not is a different story.
