The second cited website says this. 2. The German military command in Serbia listed the number of executed at Kragujevac at 2,300. After the war, the Communist regime inflated the figure to 7000, for propaganda purposes. A more accurate estimate for the total number of Serbian civilians executed in Kragujevac and the nearby villages and towns is about 5000.

I'm changing from "7000" to "2300-5000" civilians killed.ColombianConservative 06:57, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't see the point in citing Cohen's highly biased book that "It is a commonly held Serbian belief that the Germans had threatened to shoot 50 Serbs for every wounded German soldier and 100 for each killed. However, such an order was never given. Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel issued an order applying to all Europe to kill 50 communists for every wounded German soldier and 100 for each killed on September 16, 1941.[2] " We already have enough verifiable and credible sources to link German losses with massacre of civilians, exactly after the proclaimed policy of 100 for 1. I'm affraid I don't see the point in quoting Cohen, besides further attempts to discredit Serbian anti-fascist resistance. That's why I deleted it, but I'm leaving my remark here.
