Death Toll
Aug 22, '07 4:48 PMfor everyone
Hitler sent Jews to death camp, eliminating 6 million. The same number of Germans were killed at the end of war.
Hitler eliminated 10 million Russians. The same number of Russians were killed by their leader Stalin.
Japanese troops are said to kill 10 million Chinese. 2 million Japanese people were killed at war.
In battle of Okinawa, 200 thousand people were dead in 80 days. In Nanking Massacre, 300 thousand people were killed in 42 days.
In atomic bomb, roughly 70 thousand people were dead in each two cities instantly. About 100 thousand people were dead in Tokyo incendiary air strike at one night.
Crime doesn't pay, let alone war.

The same number of Russians were killed by their leader Stalin. Minor nitpick...Hitler's death camps killed about 11 million. Most of the other 5 million killed were Slavs, but homosexuals, communists, the mentally ill, etc. are part of that number as well.I've seen estimates of Stalin's death toll in the to be at least 20 million, maybe even 40 million.

24 years ago I read one book called 'Starlin's Secret War' in which I remember it says Starlin killed the same number of people as the number of the dead at war in Russia. I checked at Wikipaedia about the number of the dead at WWII, which was 23.6 million. Probably the description of the book was something like at WWII Russia lost 20 million people and Starlin killed the same number of people in execution, purge, sending them to gulag, etc.
According to Wikipaedia the number of the dead at WWII in each country was China; 19.6 million, Germany; 7.5 million, Japan;2.6 million.

You are right. He killed the same number of his nationals as the number of the dead at war to maintain his regime.

It's funny how we don't normally count the Communists and Slavs killed by the Nazis. Maybe we basically agree they were bad guys and it was like normal warfare the kill them. And of course there's the estimated hundreds of millions of Natives in the Americas, whose killing we generally treat as a "tragic necessity".

It is more that Israel has a powerful lobby, and Communists and Slavs do not, so the Holocaust is portrayed as simply anti-Jewish.As for the Native Americans, there are two parts to this. Most of them were killed by pandemic diseases which spread throughout the continent after first contact with Europeans. This can't truly be blamed on anyone since people were a long way off from developing the understanding that this was even possible.The Spanish and Portuguese later enslaved Native Americans, and the English and Americans pushed them off their lands even after making treaties with them, in some cases attempting to eradicate their culture. Certainly this could qualify as intentional genocide.

briangriffith saidIt's funny how we don't normally count the Communists and Slavs killed by the Nazis. It's only for you Americans and British. The battle between German and Russian was merely a poison to poison for your country. Humans evolve. If some people in humans remained to be obsolete in system, they are to be eliminated by other people who succeeded in embracing more advanced technology. History is a repetition of the very survival of the fittest. War was a necessary evil.
