    I'll add that it's common for these people to only count the Jewish victims of the holocaust who died specifically in the various death-camps, and leave out everybody else that the Nazis killed (most notably all the soldiers and civilians of the countries they invaded). So, they'll often arrive at only a ~6 million figure for the Nazis.

      In addition to the genocide at home, the Nazi army basically had shoot-to-kill orders for all Eastern Europeans - but those deaths get lumped into general Soviet deaths, which is part of the reason why their number is so much higher than everyone else's.
