@dddawson.bsky.social(Please note that the above figures do not include allied soldiers killed in action defeating the Nazis. Including them would add another 10-12m - the great majority Soviet - dead, another two holocausts worth of lives taken by the Nazi regime. Again, you do not, cannot, despite Nazis enough.)
Show PostSo though I know that the forum Nazis are not available to be persuaded, but nevertheless I feel the need to insist: apart from the Holocaust - that greatest of all crimes - the Nazis also did basically two whole other holocausts in scale. You do not, cannot, despise these modern Nazis enough.
Show PostAnd so we end up at the horrifying reality that the Nazis murdered so many people that the Holocaust - with all of the soul-crushing weight the word rightly has - represents 'only' about a third of it. Crimes so vast, I always worry talking about one that I might be taken to minimize the others.
Show PostThen the Nazi mass murder of non-Jewish Poles (~2m), of Roma (~0.5m), disabled and gay persons (hundreds of thousands), and on and on. The Nazis murdered *so many people.*
Show PostBut alongside the Nazi mass-murder of Jews (~6m), there was also the Nazi mass murder of non-Jewish Soviet civilians (estimates from 6m to 10m to 15m), as large if not larger in number. Then there was the mass murder of Soviet POWs, smaller than the first two, but massive (~3m).
