Weren't they in the process of committing some as these trials were ongoing? I don't think there's a reliable number, but certainly 6 figure and likely 7 figure death tolls for ethnic Germans due to postwar resettlements etc.

This sounds sorta lost-cause-y. 1,000,000 civilians killed in postwar orchestrations?

Yes an awful lot of civilians died after the war for numerous reasons. People rarely talk about it.

11 millions were killed and 25 millions were starved to death by Soviets prior to the war. ("Svoboda" Oct 04 1941 [0]).

I love it to read those old, like dating back to basically 1945, Nazi apologist arguments online. Hell, those never seem to. They do follow the same principle and line of argument so.

The only good thing, they show very clearly what kind of person people using them are.

> all the major powers had committed similar atrocities in their own pasts

The Soviets for sure, but are you really arguing that the US and UK (and Empire) were operating on the same industrial level? Incidents that come to mind for me would include the Bengal famine, and it was terrible, but it wasn't the systematic and controlled killing at which the Soviets and Nazis became so expert.

The slave trade was certainly an industrial level, yes.

Not the same level, but genocide of indigenous people, human experiments, eugenics, the whole process of colonization.

The Brits invented the modern concentration camp during the Boer War.
