Number of Catholic priests in the world 1945?
What you need to do is find a good Catholic university with a catholic library.
You need to find the book
"Statistical Yearbook of the Church" in Latin "Annuarium Statisticum Ecclesiae" to the year 1945. This is the current title of the publication of the Vatican and could have gone through a different name in 1945.
Books can contain data from previous years 1945, if the copy is not available. Talk to a research librarian at a University Library in charge of Catholic theology. Often you can call the library to help you find what resources you need, AND IF YOU DO A LOT or research related to their work.
Here is some information I found.
The estimated number for 1957
Welles, Sam. The great religions of the world, New York: Time Incorporated (1957), pp. 207.
"… Pope Pius XII, exercised spiritual authority - through 62 cardinals, bishops 1427, 400,000 secular priests, 300,000 priests and lay religious brothers, sisters and 970,000 - more than 484 million people served by some 410,000 churches in the world " . http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/

Hmmmm.
Easy to find this. There is an equation of the police use. Take the total number of children in a particular country from a census, divide by 6 (that's choirboy figures) and then subtract 7, then divide by 12. This will give you the number of priests in their freedom to do evil deeds in the altar boys and other innocent souls.
if this is the real number is a very interesting years for the Second World War
I do not know if anyone knows the answer to that. These two quotes are from the following link.
"In February 1944, the Times presented a partial list of the Catholic Church property confiscated by the Reich. Reported by the British Broadcasting Corporation, it was claimed that the May 1, 1943, over 3,400 monasteries and Catholic institutions of office in Germany had been confiscated by the Nazis. 16,495 Catholic priests and seminarians were induced into the German army. Of these 1597 were killed in the front, 593 were missing and some 100 were wounded so severely that they could not resume his priestly duties. (NY Times, February 29, 1944, p. 9, 1) The arrests of priests continued throughout the year, especially in Bavaria and in the most industrialized areas of Germany. (NY Times, November 19, 1944, p. 24, 6) In November, the Times claimed another 400 priests have been seized by the Reich in Germany since early October. (NY Times, November 19, 1944, p. 24, 6) was reported more priests imprisoned at Dachau in the summer of 1945. (NY Times, June 24, 1945, p. 27, 7)
…. and ….
"There was also the arrest, deportation and murder of thousands of priests and religious camps. (NY Times, June 3, 1945, p. 22. The document is complete all of pages 1 and 22) reports on the bombing of the Vatican by the Nazis on November 5, 1943 was (NY Times, 2 July 1945, p. 5, 3). In September 1945, were discovered documents reveal that in Berlin the Times calls "a secret struggle between the Gestapo and the German Catholic hierarchy, which lasted from the rise of Nazism in his downfall. "The Times said that agents of the Gestapo stole, bribed and worked to gain access to the messages of the Holy See to the Catholic bishops in Germany and Western Europe during the war years. The clergy were seen as enemies of the new order of Hitler. (NY Times, September 26, 1945, p. 10, 4) The meaning of the late disclosure earlier attempts to slander the Pope and the Catholic hierarchy by Nazi regimes and later by the Soviets. "
