It is true that their were very few civillian deaths of Americans, but the war wasn't fought on our soil. I believe many of those deaths of Russians were wholesale slaughter of civilians carried out by the Germans. Equally or perhaps even more tragic, but not the same as deaths of fighting men in combat. I wonder also how many of them were killed by Stalin and blamed on the Germans. His atrocities are perhaps worse than Hitlers, if only because he slaughtered his own people by the millions. I don't believe it was considered militarily correct (good strategy) to open a second front in Europe until Africa was liberated. That doesn't mean that we weren't fighting until 44, just not in Europe.
