Obviously the numbers who fled or died weren't as large as in Europe, given that Europe is larger and much more densely populated. And I was talking about how OUR soldiers generally treated Nazi civilians, not how the Russians did. Everyone knows the communist Russians were brutal. And no, the civil war yanks didn't carpet bomb southern cities with aircraft, but only because they didn't have aircraft. So they used their big cannons instead. And raped and burned and pillaged and shot people along their whole rout of travel.

Now can you imagine our troops in WWII Europe marching through Germany, burning down most of the houses and barns as they went along, raping all the pretty German women they saw, shooting the cattle, stealing all the valuables and generally laughing about the whole thing? While I'm sure isolated instances of this may have occurred, this was not the norm. Yet that is what northern troops did while in the South. And when Germany capitulated, we helped them out with the Marshall plan to rebuild their economy, and even dropped candy to their kids from airplanes. But when the south capitulated, we got reconstruction, martial law and instead of helping to rebuild our economy we were given heavy taxes that kept the south down economically for years.

Depending on who's figures you go with OUR soldiers and the British soldiers killed upwards of 625,000 German civilians during the bombing of their cities.

And that is ridiculous.
