How do countries hide their losses during wars?

I know it is normal for countries to deflate their casualty numbers during war, but how do they do it? If for example 1000 soldiers are killed in a month, how could a government claim only 400 were killed without the public discover this to be a lie? Surley the families of the killed soldiers are promptly informed.

collection on data is problematic, especially in war. Consider: if you right now were to check how many people live in your town, and how many of them that dies during the next month, without using the government official numbers, how would you do it?
