Those are horrible numbers, particularly when you consider that most werent soldiers; just people trying to feed their children. I thought the total number of WWII dead was 20,000,000, but its all horrible; regardless of the actual figure. Unfortunately, for psychopaths like OBL, those are records to be topped.

CobaltBlue, There are a couple things I'd like to point out. It is my understanding that Soviet soldiers that became POWs and survived, after the war went directly to the gulag. You mentioned 75% of Polish Officers died in WWII. But I seem to remember that many were killed by Soviets (shortly after they split the country with the Nazis in 39?).
