Sorry pal, but I think you're starting to go a little nuts on me here. You need to calm down and take a breath... What did I say? Did I not say the Soviets were uncivilized brutes, not to be forgotten or lightly forgiven? And yet you instantly want to forget that the Germans in cold blood killed many more Europeans than they themselves suffered. So my question is: who was more brutal and uncivilized -- Soviets or Germans? I'm saying, judging by the number of dead, the Germans were several times more brutal than the Soviets EVER EVEN THOUGHT OF BEING. Do you still disagree?

I wholeheartedly disagree. You have not even begun to calculate the numbers of victims that have been slaughtered under blood RED Communism. We stopped Hitler!!!! And 'we' ignored the head of the snake and have had to decade after decade continue to fight against the redistributive ideology of a godless system that destroys the very spirit of freedom.

"I wholeheartedly disagree. You have not even begun to calculate the numbers of victims that have been slaughtered under blood RED Communism."

Here is a site that provides all kinds of details on who killed how many of whom in every conflict in history. This particular page looks at the blame for WWII deaths:

WWII deaths by who is to blame

As I read this, while Stalin was responsible for more deaths overall -- he had a much longer career than Hitler, and Stalin killed far more of HIS OWN PEOPLE -- but Hitler was responsible for more deaths DURING WORLD WAR TWO.

My intention is not to exaggerate or minimize the mass murders by anyone. But if you want to understand why the Western Allies sided with Stalin against Hitler, you have to study the history of that time.

I'd say this: in 1934 many Europeans feared Stalin much more than Hitler, and had Hitler played his cards right might have joined him against Stalin. But by 1939 there was absolutely no doubt in anyone's mind which power was the greater & more immediate threat!

Do you disagree?
