[THE UNCONFIRMED AND UNCOUNTED]<\/span><\/h2>\n

Although I have counted them, technically every German killed at the Turkish border except the two Richter shoots in a rage can be attributed to either Wright (who ordered the train to keep going) or Demchuk (who was the one driving it), but I was uncertain how responsible either would be since the Germans both inside and outside the crashing train would technically just be collateral damage. In any event, Wright and Demchuk were less concerned with killing the Germans and more concerned with getting off the train, so none of the deaths were intentional on their part except perhaps the 10 Nazi officials who had been held prisoner in one train car, whom Wright deliberately left behind. However this is still fairly ambiguous and the Nazis could’ve gotten off (no indication is given that they were executed prior to the Americans bailing) but since they weren’t also shown bailing I count them as dead.<\/p>\n
