    It's important to note that Nazi Germany mobilized something like 18 million people over the course of the war and saw over 5 million military deaths. When Stalin suggested that the Allies would need to execute 50,000 Nazis after the war, he was talking about a small sliver of Nazi leadership and those most directly culpable for atrocities.

      Just discovered that only 13 Nazis were actually executed, along with 20 life sentences. There were also 100 or so who ended up serving 5-10 years. Always thought it was much higher, seems like the execution number should have been at least 1000.

    Weird how the "Holodomor" is definitely an intentional genocide but well documented decisions of Churchill to let the Bengalis starve don't count.

      The lives of Europeans and Europeanb emigrants matters more than the lives of the people of color. That is why Pax Americana always avoid discussion about the continued imprisonment, planned starvation, and chemical attacks against Native Americans in federal reserve concentration camps until the prisoners surrender all the fruit of their labor and the reparation for the 150 years of fake school death camps that became the Nazi death camps.
