And don't forget Russian dead during the war. Close to 24 million total, of which 12-14 million were civilian. Those kinds of fatalities boggle the mind. Any way you look at it, the Russkies took the major hit.

“And don’t forget Russian dead during the war.”

I haven’t, I was pointing out that Japan’s loses (especially military) were appreciably lower than Germany.

Russia has a tragic pass, communist democide probably had a death toll equal to the 24 million lost during WW II, no wonder they drink.... OK that was a little flippant.
