    WOW!
    I didn't know so many civilins died, are you sure that its by the army? or from various other causes?
    Also, how is it that the Nazi's suffered 90% of their casualties by the soviets? I knew that they lost many men against them, but I still thought that it wasn't more than 60%-70%.
    Damn, look at the number of civilian deaths compared to soldier deaths in china, ouch...
