I've seen fatality figures as high as 6 million in the 30 years war and it is estimated that 3 million ethnic Germans died of starvation and disease between 1945 and 1948. God only knows how many tens of millions died as a result of Mao Tse-tungs direct commands in the 1950's during the Five Year Plans and Great Leap Forwards.<br /><br />My favorite anecdote of the Cultural James Hedmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-23384080854192948132014-05-07T18:59:45.331-04:002014-05-07T18:59:45.331-04:00James Hedman commenting above thinks we didn't...James Hedman commenting above thinks we didn't kill 80,000 people at Nagasaki.
