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.

Say 1000 die and they actually inform all 1000 families.
And then publicly say it was 400. How would the families know their child was one of a 1000 instead of 1 of 400.
They are not exactly giving you a list of names to check.
You can’t just check with the family of each soldier to know if their kid died and the numbers are solid.
