I wonder if the Nazis killed anyone in Soviet territory or did anything particularly heinous that would disgust anyone.
(I kind of wonder if Quora should be disallowed cause it's just easy pickings)

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Didn’t Stalin suggest this only jokingly?
Yes, as a response to Roosevelt joking in fact. The (likely apocryphal) anecdote goes, while meeting at the Tehran conference in 1943 Roosevelt suggested unseriously that after the war they should execute 10,000 Nazi officers, Stalin replied 10,000? Why not 50,000?
Then Churchill stormed out in a huff because "they were just honorable men defending their nation".
Truly the historical figure that makes me angriest thanks to his mainstream historical perception as a lovable roguish wholesome chungus, versus his actual nature as an oafish brutal bloodsoaked demon - especially compared against the heap of trash piled on the name of Stalin.
Liberals will accuse you of falling for "cult of personality propaganda" and then act like Winston doesn't have a place in hell right next to Adolf.
I just fall back on “ask the Bengalis what they think of Churchill.”
But DAE le epic “good for him it was bloody cold out”?
