What would you expect from a Wall Street boy? He's a paid up club member who's been prepped for this role for many decades.

Thanks for giving light to all these atrocities. Please add to your list the starvation of Germans after WWI and the murderous treatment of German POWs after WwII.

By the way, there have been a number of books and monographs written on the starvation of German POWs in the West, but none about the Soviet POWs treatment by the Nazis, both egregious cases. This kind of makes my point, inadvertently, I think.

Even if we accept Bacque's view of 800,000 German deaths due to disease and starvation, the Soviet losses were three times as great. I don't wish to compare megadeaths, both egregious crimes, but instead offer the fact one gets historical attention, and the other *very* little.

This will be addressed in the upcoming article on Soviet POWs, and also in an upcoming article on Nuremberg. So please keep reading.
