To determine how many troops joined the military from 1942 to 1943, we can subtract the number of personnel in 1942 from the number in 1943.
According to the data:
- In 1942, there were 3.9 million personnel.
- In 1943, there were 9.1 million personnel.
Now, we calculate the difference:
9.1 million (in 1943) - 3.9 million (in 1942) = 5.2 million.
Therefore, approximately 5 million additional troops joined the military from 1942 to 1943.
The closest answer from the options provided is **5 million**.
