Rapers of 3 million german female. I don´t go to details but my country has really felt the kindness of this Great Comrade. During last 800 years more than 100 years of war. Our losses in WW2 equal if US would have lost 18 million men instead of 440k. Finland was NEVER occupied and the commies losses were astronomous , thanks a lot to our german counterpartis and their arsenal . Dear bahsgrl

DeNucci, Sr. Tue, 24 Jan 2012 05:59:37 +0000 #comment-787410 I found this article very informative but also found one glaring error: the author incorrectly referring to the German Army as the Wehrmacht. The German Army was not the Wehrmact but was the Heer. The Wehrmact is the name for the entire armed forces of Nazi Germany. The Kriegsmarine was the German Navy and the Lufftewaffe was the German Airforce. It is amazing how many author's continue to make this mistake.

This fact can be contributed to the removal of God in these socities. Communist Russia, Nazi Germany, Red China, Imperial Japan all either removed organized religon or held their leaders up as devine. When a socity has no higher moral code to answer to...there is no end to the level of inhumanity they can inflict on their fellow man. The 20th century has been the most brutal in recorded history.

In everything else you are wrong, especially: "during the war Stalin was very popular and he generated big consensus. At the end of the day he won this war. I am sorry but Stalin's crimes although terrible are a different matter and not a topic of this article." 1. Stalin as much responsible for starting WW2 as Hitler. If you would like me to explain I would be happy to do so. 2. Stalin didn't win the war, Soviet people did. Stalin was more if incompetent. There is a theory that he in fact wanted that war. 3. By Stalin's orderWW2 Soviet POWs were considered to be traitors of USSR and sent by Stalin to concentration camps (camps were as bad as nazi's were), so by this only reason Stalin's crimes is a topic of this article. My grandfather was one of them. Private, called to Red army in 1941, captured by nazi in July 1941, from 1941-1945 in Mauthausen, experienced all Nazi atrocities you hear about Holocaust (though he was Ukrainian), liberated by US Army, went back home and spent next 8 years until Stalin's death in Soviet concentration camp. Such examples are counted by millions. 4. Stalin was the one who refused to sign Geneva convention, so he is ultimately responsible for what happened to any Soviet POW. 5.If you truly empathize with Russian people to close your eyes on what happened to them because communism came to power is wrong thing to do. The only way you can assure that such thing doesn't happen again is to speak the truth about everything what happened in Soviet Union including crimes committed there toward anybody and speak loud.

Paul Buhler, I don't know if you are able to try and walk in their shoes...It requires certain empathy. Germans started this brutal war on Russia why do u expect Russians to adhere to international law when Germans didn't?????? Totally agree with Russian. my grandad was in that war too and he reached Vienna. so many of my friends alo lost their grandparents in this war. ok Stalin was horrible but Russians and other USSR nations were not fighting for his sake! they were fighting for the sake of their families and their land. in Russia it is called great Patriotic War. during the war Stalin was very popular and he generated big consensus. At the end of the day he won this war. I am sorry but Stalin's crimes although terrible are a different matter and not a topic of this article.
