WW2 marked the greatest loss of young male lives in history.
Most of these men fathered children before they were deployed.
The Baby Boomer generation is one of the biggest in history.
And a significant number of them grew up without fathers.

The United States lost only about 1/2 million, an insignificant number compared to its population. Ditto for France, and the British Empire. Most of what you are saying does apply to Germany and Japan.

And many more were drafted.
