    That wasn’t a genocide, though, at least on the Nazis’ part, it was just war… (now, Stalin deciding who to send to that meat grinder could have been a tad genocidal, but if I recall correctly they practically ended up sending anyone available, so probably not…)

      The majority of the deaths were civilians.

      But if you want to get hyper-technical, communists were among those sent to the camps in Hitler’s purges.
