By December 1945 it was estimated by French authorities that 2,000 German prisoners were being killed or maimed each month in accidents.[32] In Norway the last available casualty record, from 29 August 1945, shows that by that time a total of 275 German soldiers died while clearing mines, while 392 had been maimed.[33] Death rates for the German civilians doing forced labor in the Soviet Union ranged between 19% and 39%, depending on category.
