@gav @CrustyB @Fash-E @Robert_Edwardly @Waldbrand I've heard estimates of around 100,000, which puts it above the 1940 campaign casualties of 75,000. Even wikipedia puts it at "at least" 68,000. The other thing is that the (((French))) "resistance", which did almost no fighting during the actual war, were empowered to kill just about anyone they saw fit by the allied armies. Since they were communists, they killed people who had little relation to the Germans but were just "class enemies". That's easily another 100,000 that died by their hands.

Here: "But according to Huddleston the American leaders estimated there were at least 80,000 “summary executions” in just the first few months after Liberation, while the Socialist Deputy who served as Interior Minister in March 1945 and would have been in the best position to know, informed De Gaulle’s representatives that 105,000 killings had taken place just from August 1944 to March 1945, a figure that was widely quoted in public circles at the time."
