Wow! The endless upward scrolling for Russia was sobering.
They have a pay version of the site, which is an interesting concept for this specific use case: The Fallen of World War II - Data-driven documentary about war & peace

Yes, truly sickening what it took to defeat the evil empire.

Very interesting. And I wonder how many of those numbers are accurate, not because of any fault of the folks that made the video, but that so many of the numbers in the video are hotly contested.

Captivating... "The long peace" I like how that sounds.
How lucky are we?

Incredible and amazingly well done. I wish the narrator's voice wasn't so whimsical.

The image of the Nazi executing a mother holding her child just chills me to the bone.

WOW, just WOW.
One statistic I did find interesting is that more Americans soldiers died on the first day of D-day on Omaha beach alone than have died in all thirteen years of the war in Afghanistan. Great post dan88911. Thanks Last edited by drcoastline; 06-07-2015 at 10:54 AM.. |

Quote:
For instance Stalin's direct actions and policies killed about 20 million Russians and not surprisingly this number is disputed. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the literary giant who wrote harrowingly about the Soviet gulag system, claimed the true number of Stalin’s victims might have been as high as 60 million. http://www.ibtimes.com/how-many-people-did-joseph-stalin-kill-1111789 There really is no way to know for sure.
