Nast ppl indeed, but Hitler would be above Stalin
Today, after two decades of access to Eastern European archives, and thanks to the work of German, Russian, Israeli, and other scholars, we can resolve the question of numbers. The total number of noncombatants killed by the Germans–about 11 million–is roughly what we had thought. The total number of civilians killed by the Soviets, however, is considerably less than we had believed. We know now that the Germans killed more people than the Soviets did. That said, the issue of quality is more complex than was once thought. Mass murder in the Soviet Union sometimes involved motivations, especially national and ethnic ones, that can be disconcertingly close to Nazi motivations.
It turns out that, with the exception of the war years, a very large majority of people who entered the Gulag left alive. Judging from the Soviet records we now have, the number of people who died in the Gulag between 1933 and 1945, while both Stalin and Hitler were in power, was on the order of a million, perhaps a bit more. The total figure for the entire Stalinist period is likely between two million and three million. The Great Terror and other shooting actions killed no more than a million people, probably a bit fewer. The largest human catastrophe of Stalinism was the famine of 1930—1933, in which more than five million people died. |

Uncle Joe,helluva guy.
Took properties of the people away from them for the glory of Russian State .
Killed a few million but it was probably down the the west .They must have antagonised them .
Churchill had his number which is why Ike s delay in getting to Berlin first created the Iron Curtain behemoth,the one Contro loved.
Still,Putin doing his best to retrieve the old lands that bowed the knee |
Actually, the west did antagonise him, Hitler invaded and killed millions of Russians, destroyed cities, towns and villages.
The delay in Getting to Berlin was because Russia got there first.Eisenhower called a halt to the advance eastward and didn't tell Churchill. Britain had become the junior partner by then.
Eisenhower was correct, because there was no stopping the red army as they were intent on avenging the damage the Wehrmacht did to Russia.
Any further advance may have resulted in a confrontation with the red army with disastrous results | | | |
