Albania's total population in 1938 was 1,048,000. I'll call it 390k to capitulation. 37.21% of Albania's total population in the war was killed, wounded, captured, crippled, or missing. That's almost halfway to the Paraguay War in which nearly 60% of the population was killed. Jesus wept, Albania deserved better than that lol
