Patton and War Crimes

[Karl08]

We did not kill as many of them as they killed of ours. The total number of Axis civilian deaths is some 1.5 to 2.5 million. The total number of Allied civilian deaths is some 30-40 million.

No matter how you break down those numbers, they are wrong. It seems that all of the civilians perished in the Holocaust are automatically lumped in the "Allied civilians" category. If you want to argue that they shouldn't be counted among Axis civilians because they were killed by the Axis, fine, but then what about the millions of Russian civilians killed by Stalin? It's a bit inconsistent.



And thanks for the pointer, Sarmatian.
