So powerful were Nazi Germany’s occult ideas... exorcising them from the planet took six years, ... nearly 4 million men under arms

Methinks somebody has mislaid a decimal point somewhere. The Red Army alone conscripted upwards of 30M men during the war.

Yes, and about 5 million of them died. Compare that to the 450,000 American service men lost in both the European and Pacific theaters. (We had more than 12 million men and women in the service at one time during the war. More over the whole duration.)

No wonder the Russians have no love for the Germans.
