I replied to someone saying that the USSR defeated the Nazis saying that it was a group effort. Got into an argument and called a Nazi repeatedly because "I was mad that the USSR defeated the Nazis and hated them for it" which is ridiculous. This isn't the first time that's happened on Lemmy. What's up with that?

There's no other POW population on no side of WW2 that comes anywhere close to suffering casualties like this.

Polish casualties came close.

    Hard to tell the exact number but probably around 1% of Soviet in flat number. Which puts it to around 10% of PoW's killed, compared to 45% of Soviet ones, so it's not close.

    IIRC, it was 56% for Soviet PoWs killed and ~40% for Polish PoWs.
