I believe more Germans died from Russian communist in WW2 than Jews died. Nobody likes to talk about the German loss of life in those war years.

when they dug up the mass graves, the adults and children were shot but the babies were just thrown in alive.

killed far more Soviet citizens, both soldiers and civilians than the Soviets killed Germans. In excess of 10 Million people is the lowest estimate, it is generally accepted to have been much closer to 20 million. Only 8 million Germans, including soldiers were killed, and many were killed by bombing by the USAAC and the RAF. Hamburg alone accounted for nearly 300,000 in the week it was targetted. 6 million Jews, most of them from outside Germany were killed by Einsatzgruppen, and by local militias enlisted by the Nazis in the Ukraine and the Baltic countries, and in concentration camps. There were Germans killed in Poland, in France, in Yugoslavia, in Greece, and in the Western Desert of North Africa, and then Sicily and all the way up the Italian boot. At least 3.5 million were killed by forces other than the Soviets. Belgians really enjoyed killing German soldiers, so long as they could do it away from populated areas, because of course, Germans really loved wiping out whole villages a practice they had carried over from their behaviour in the First World War.

From the tone of what you say James, you appear to think that the Soviets didn't have the right of self defence.

It's a shame you know so little about the history of the groups whom you invoke so freely, be it the Soviets or the German Nazi Wehrmacht and SS. And as for all that, "We didn't know what was happening" guff. The British had a number (3 at least) of enormous country houses equipped with listening and recording equipment. The Wehrmacht and even Luftwaffe personnel admitted to participating "for fun" in the exterminations. There are 50,000 pages of transcripts of German soldiers talking unguarded to other German soldiers after their interrogations finished. The British, right from the early part of the war (the Battle of Britain), had found the best way to learn information was to release the soldier or airman from his interrogation into a room with 1 or 2 other Germans, to unburden himself, so to speak, of all the things he had been trying to keep from the interrogators. It's part of the reason that German bombing accuracy remained so poor despite some of the best equipment in the world. The British knew in advance about all the radio devices about to be used, before they actually went into use. Of course countermeasures were not always applied correctly, hence Coventry. But the guy who got the tone wrong in the jammers despite having it clearly indicated, found himself guarding an empty building in the winter of 1940 on the Shetland Islands, night after night and was then posted to North Africa where it may have been hot during the day, but it was freezing at night. Serves him right.

Might subtract about 10 million Ukranians from the Soviet Union side, since they weren't part of it by choice.
They were under subjection and suffered since WW1
Still, seems more Russians died in the war than Germans, unless they counted those of Germanic blood who were living in Soviet Russia at the time as Russians.

"
Nazi Germany with its allies invaded the Soviet Union in 1941. Many Ukrainians initially regarded the Wehrmacht soldiers as liberators from Soviet rule, while others formed a partisan movement. Some elements of the Ukrainian nationalist underground formed a Ukrainian Insurgent Army
that fought both Soviet forces and the Nazi. Others collaborated with
the Germans. In Volhynia, Ukrainian "fighters" committed a massacre
against up to 100,000 Polish civilians.[27] Residual small groups of the UPA-partizans acted near the Polish and Soviet border as long as to the 1950s.[2 "

and quit diverting off the subject.

that was Diana.

Children raised not to hate, killed by those who were raised to hate.

there are a lot of "Christians" that are raising their children to hate.

There are a lot of Muslims that do not teach their children to hate.

I'm a practical person. I don't go around making up excuses for other people's failures nor crimes.

You are now an expert in the Koran as well?

I'm impressed.

Another apposite quote from 2000 years ago.

Who is concerned for those in between? Or, should I say, is any religion concerned?
