A few exceptions were those who actually had something to offer to the Mongols. All others, women and children, were massacred. And this happened from China up to Europe, going through the Middle East. Anyways, on with the figures: Lowest estimates are 30 million deaths. In an era more scarcely populated than ours, this is quite an achievement. The highest estimates reach over 60 million people.

Mao Zedong, through his great wisdom, also manages to make Hitler look like a Saint. Thanks to his "Cultural Revolution", systematics purges for the party who raised him and the "Great Leap Foward" he manages to kill, in the lowest estimates: 27 million people. The highest goes over 70 million. But since he is in the East, and the party currently in power is his own, I don't see many people rising in anger at the worshiping of such a man. Why don't you go around the Chinese websites saying the truth about Mao Zedong? Would you even care at the millions of Chinese scholars who publicy their academical essays praising all that Mao had done? Yet you would be outraged if a German one would praise the deeds of Hitler.

Do not give lectures about history. Hitler and his lackeys were sick, twisted people. But to consider the mentioning of "reich" and "panzer", etc as "Nazi Propaganda" is quite simply stupid. And there were people who comitted far greater atrocities that aren't even spoken of.
I'm not going to exchange history lectures and i'm not going to discuss who is beeing praised how much and on which legitimation, because that doesn't affect the point of what i have said, so the only thing i will mention regarding the comparison to the Mongols or Mao:
I don't want to euphemize what they have done, but neither the mongols nor Mao have enacted plan and machinery to completely eradicate whole people and to create a superior race by obliterating anyone and anything which does not fit.
For an individual there is no difference if one is killed to secure power or because one is estimated as beeing without value for the planned breed, but i am still convinced that there is a difference in regard to human dignity.
Which does not make better what others have done, but i'm no one who said, jokes about everything else would be allright.

Besides, i don't consider mentioning of "Reich" and "Panzer" as Nazi propaganda, but i do consider mentioning of things that touch the inner workings of nazi ideology, as such:
inferior people [...] failed how the evolution decided.
Sie fordern Land und Boden!
I don't have to say something about the following, have i?
Baktria uber alles! Seig heil! [sic]
This should be enough.
I want to indicate that i have never said, Rycalawre was a Nazi, i just pointed out that i consider the report's style as very bad taste and this opinion has not changed and probably will not.
