How many civilians died during the Warsaw Uprising?

Estimates regarding the number of civilian deaths during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 vary among historical sources. While some accounts indicate that as many as 250,000 civilians were killed during the insurrection, other records estimate the death toll of the city's residents to be between 150,000 and 180,000.12

It is important to distinguish these figures from the broader loss of life in the city throughout the war. Between 1939 and 1944, it is estimated that some 600,000 to 800,000 residents of Warsaw died due to the German occupation, which included the siege of 1939, the systematic destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto, and the subsequent uprising.32
