Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1999), p. 138. Kantowicz adds that the
total population loss for Europe was 48 million, including 15
million "swept away" because their run down health made them
vulnerable to the post-war influenza epidemic, and because of the
reduction caused by the steep drop in the birth rate consequent on
these disasters. Hobsbawm estimates that France lost almost twenty
percent of its men of military age, Britain lost one quarter of its
Oxford and Cambridge graduates who served in the army during the
war, while German losses reached 1.8 million or thirteen percent of
their military age population. (See Eric Hobsbawm, _Age of Extremes:
The Short Twentieth Century, 1914-1991, op. cit._, p. 26).
