All that “waste” was responsible for killing 9 out of 10 Germans killed during the war. Had the Russians lost the war in 1942 Ike could have faced over a hundred German divisions in Europe instead of 30 divisions.
The Soviets lost more than twice the number of the Germans, while fighting on their own soil and the Germans never activated women, not even Rosie the Riveter.
The communists wasted lives by the millions with gimmicks and methods that no civilized country would have done.
