The Slavs were not targetted for extermination, JUST tertiation. I believe that the Nazis wanted 1/3 killed, 1/3 expelled, and 1/3 enslaved.
This would have been a horrendous crime against humanity, but not genocide.
Few Slavic people were killed for racial reasons, although one could argue that German allocation of food that lead to much starvation was a form of targeted killing.

As for your numbers about 12-13 million people were killed of which ~6 million were Jews, ~300,00 where Gypsies, over 1 million other non-Slavs (political, religioes, effeminate homosexuals...) annd the remaining 4 to 5 million were Slavic people.

The reason why some JEws (foolishly) downplay this is because anti-Semitic revisionists play with the numbers to try to minimize Jewish deaths.

Frankly, if you want to talk about mass-murder of Slavs, Stalin wins by a factor of 10.

True, he did. But your numbers are wrong. Poland lost 6.5 million soles: 0.5 mn to combat, 3 million Jews and ... 3 million Slavs. The Soviets lost 20 million, including 5 million under Nazi occupation. That doesn't add in various Serbs, Czechs, and even Croats (Franciscans, esp). No, the Slavs were to disappear along with the Jews and Gypsies, much like the German's successful elimination of the Prussians (a Baltic people like the Latvians who ceased to exist).
