[spoiler:1uvu1jp9][/spoiler:1uvu1jp9] Half a million civilians dead, more than 5 million homeless. Makes you wonder why we never mention them.
Because those numbers drown in to horrors that were seen all around the world and places that have suffered much more terrible fate. PS. I put your photo in spoiler
You could say that about a lot of wars, namely WW1 and the Korean War, I just think it's sad that these people are almost never remembered.

Its nice to know that the valient sacrifice of millions of Russians gets some attention elsewhere in the world, where I am it is made to sound like the Americans did everything, which is far from true. Where, when, and by whom the next great genocides of the world will take place are not certain, yet sadly, that it will take place is all but a certainty.
Oh, I just remembered that there's an old army basic training manual kicking around here somewhere from...1941-ish, and in suspiciously good shape (not even yellowed). Also complete with marching song pamphlet.
