    Stalin and his cronies were very much hated by the Ukrainians, and the Germans would have found a lot of support had they not treated the populace as bad or worse.” Agree. The German did find enough support to be able to raise SS Divisions, and Vlasov Army. But the fundamental stupidity of Nazism discouraged even the most anti-Semitic of them (not all of them).
    Careful about figures: nobody knows how many died of famine. What we do know is the Ukrainian population in 1926 is around 30 million, so 20 million victims just few years before, are a little bit too much. These figures are made up by people who want to equal Nazism and Communism, forgetting that during the great Famine in Ireland or India, like during the Famine in Ukraine, both UK and USSR exported food.
