~88% of the males in Russia born in 1922 were killed in the war, and a huge percentage of the cohorts on either side of that for a few years out.
Nowhere near those casualties came out of WWII for us.
No, ours were self inflicted.
I wouldn’t be all that surprised to find that 88% of the “baby daddies” in some subgroups have no input into the raising of their spawn.
Gee. Between 88% of their men killed in the war, and the millions of their own people they killed...who would be left for fighting the enemy, killing more of their own people, or even procreating with women?
Alternate answer:
Russia lost 88% of the fathers in The Great Patriotic War.
America lost 88% of the fathers in The War On Poverty.
