on a lighter side

From the front lines in France and Russia to the deserts of North Africa and the airfields and convoys of Britain, the campaigns of World War II are yours to command in WW2: Time of Wrath! This turn-based grand strategy title, the highly improved and expanded sequel to WW2: Road to Victory, puts the player in charge of the political, economic and military decisions of one or more Axis or Allied nations, including minor nations.

30 millions people is exagerated no? I always heard more like 20 millions people, USSR has taken one third of all the human losses of WW2. The death toll on the civilian in the invaded zones must have been terrible.

According to what I read. The soviets were using their scorched earth strategy : destroy the resources to that the invader cannot use them. It means that they were burning their old villages, crops, etc., leaving their own people starve to death in winter.

Than the whermacht soldier arrived probably scavenging for all food that was left he could found. And we will not speak about what the SS units were doing to the civilians.

Staline was not very better than the austrian caporal. In 1936 he did the famous purge of his army. 2 of 4 marshalls were executed, many generals, ten thousands of officers of all ranks.
