R.J. Rummel estimates the death toll in the Rheinwiesenlager as between 4,500 and 56,000. Official US figures were just over 3,000 and a German commission found 4,532. The source of the high figure of 56,000 also reported the notation "probably much lower" in Rummel's extracts. Extremely high figures of up to a million are sometimes quoted, but these seem not to be based on any hard evidence, and are generally regarded as latter-day propaganda.
