a shot to the head doesn't guarantee death. and that's if you hit the brain. a lot of it can be mashed up without actually killing the person.Ajax_the_Great1 wrote:

Wasn't that a railroad spike or something equally gruesome? Yes, off topic, I know. There is actually only a small part of the brain that guarantees an instant death (the infamous "ragdoll").Kmarion wrote:

"Some scholars maintain that the definition of the Holocaust should also include the Nazis' systematic murder of millions of people in other groups, including ethnic Poles, the Romani, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, people with disabilities, gay men, and political and religious opponents, which would bring the total number of Holocaust victims to between 11 million and 17 million people."cl4u53w1t2 wrote:

I'll give you one thing. Sometimes, it feels like Jews want us to forget that more than just Jews died in the Holocaust. Obviously, Jews were the single largest group to be killed, but we should also remember that Gypsies, political dissidents, homosexuals, and a few other groups were targeted as well.
that's the cerebellum, at the rear base of the brain. if not instant death, instant coma, depending on what's left of the spinal cord.imortal wrote:

mel gibson would be proud.
At least in Russia WWII is referred to as the "Great Motherland War Part Deux", part une being AD 1812-1815. I think that about says it all. East-Asians in general have pretty good rememberance of WWII; just substitute Nazi's with Nips and you should be fine.rdx-fx wrote:
World War 2 deaths:
75 million total deaths worldwide resulting from WW-2
30 million Soviet/Russian dead (15% of their total population at the time)
20 million Chinese dead
6 million Jewish dead (3 million of those Polish Jewish)
Total number of dead, the Russians & Chinese took the brunt of the dying during WW-2.
Jewish took it a little more personally than the rest.
Methodical industrialized genocide apparently has that effect on a people.
Western (i.e. WW-2 Allied Forces) history books emphasize the Jewish holocaust.
I'd be curious to see how the Chinese and Russian history books tell the tale.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_BarbarossaNazi theory regarding the Soviet Union
As early as 1925, Hitler made his intentions clear in Mein Kampf ("My Struggle") to invade the Soviet Union, based on his assertion that the German people needed Lebensraum ("living space", i.e. land and raw materials) and that it should be sought in the east. Nazi racial ideology cast the Soviet Union as populated by "untermenschen" ethnic Slavs ruled by their "Jewish Bolshevik" masters.[23][24] Mein Kampf stated that Germany's destiny was to turn "to the East" as it did "six hundred years later" and "the end of the Jewish domination in Russia will also be the end of Russia as a State."[25] Thereafter, Hitler spoke of an inescapable battle against "pan-Slav ideals", the victory in which would lead to "permanent mastery of the world", though he stated that they would "walk part of the road with the Russians, if that will help us."[26] Accordingly, it was the stated policy of the Nazis to kill, deport or enslave the Russian and other Slavic populations and to repopulate the land with Germanic peoples (see New Order).

most scholars see the porajmos as part of the holocaust (roma-holocaust), but not the murder of other groups (slavs, handicapped, communists, homosexuals etc.)Turquoise wrote:

Several of the sources your source has used suggest a death toll of ~75 million. Brzezinski says 71M, Rummel says 84M. Many estimates start from '39 not '37 - and the Chinese civilian death toll is highly disputed.cl4u53w1t2 wrote:

Doesn't change the fact that many of the figures are highly disputed and many experts would agree that 75M is a perfectly reasonable estimate - as your link so helpfully demonstrated. Chastising him for getting an estimate wrong, when many experts would agree with him, seems a little churlish.
