Some notes about this table:
- The table is here sorted alphabetically according to the victim category.
- The Soviet POWs probably include soldiers captured during war operations. As such they may not all fit the category of those not killed "in warfare".
- The list does not include Roman Catholics, people of color, various "political" victims (communists, social democrats, socialists, etc) and other smaller groups.
- The categories do not directly map to the categories used on the prisoners clothing (as described e.g. in an answer to this SE question).
