Abstract

top
In the memoirs of Professor Hugo Steinhaus the problem of estimation of the war casualties of German Army during the SecondWorldWar on the base of contemporary press obituaries is mentioned.A ssuming the inflated geometric probability distribution function for the size of German family, introducing some transformations of this random variable and taking into account the probability distribution function of the contens of obituaries we propose in the note a solution of the problem.
