Possibly more shocking, more than 60% of men who were born in 1923 and still alive in 1941 would die during the War (assuming I've understood the article correctly and my maths is sound).

No. Surviving to 1941: 1,800, wartime mortality: 700, surviving to 1946: 1,100. 700/1,800 = 38%

  Oops. You're right, I took the 1946 figure as the 1941 one (700/1100 > 60%). Still, 38% is pretty bad.
