When the issue of compulsory sterilisation was brought up at the Nuremberg trials after the war, many Nazis defended their actions on the matter by indicating that it was the United States itself from whom they had taken inspiration. (Καταπληκτικό επιχείρημα... υιοθετώ μία πρακτική, που την "αντιγράφω από την κόλλα του ...USA διπλανού μου" την εξελίσσω και την αναγάγω σε επιστήμη, σε απόλυτο ιδανικό του κράτους, παράγω συστηματικότατα τουλάχιστον εφταπλάσια θύματα σε σχέση με τους πρώτους διδάξαντες -που συνοδεύεται από βαρύτατη προπαγάνδα- και μετά φωνάζω "Κυρία, κυρία ο USA-κος πρώτος μου έδειξε την κόλλα του!" - Yeah, riiiight.)The Nazis had many other eugenics-inspired racial policies, including their "euthanasia" programme in which around *70,000* (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_T4) people institutionalised or suffering from birth defects were killed.SwedenThe eugenistic legislation was enacted in 1934 and was formally abolished in 1976. According to the 2000 governmental report, 21,000 were estimated to have been forcibly sterilized, 6,000 were coerced into a 'voluntary' sterilization while the nature of a further 4,000 cases could not be determined.USA60.000 such procedures (nonconsensual sterilizations) in the United States in the 20th century.NAZI CAMPSAn estimated 4,251,500 people lost their lives in the camps (extermination camps, concentration camps, labor camps, transit camps e.t.c)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nazi_concentration_campsThe Germans and their collaborators killed as many as 1.5 million children, including over a million Jewish children and tens of thousands of Romani (Gypsy) children, German children with physical and mental disabilities living in institutions, Polish children, and children residing in the occupied Soviet Union. The chances for survival for Jewish and some non-Jewish adolescents (13-18 years old) were greater, as they could be deployed at forced labor. HOLOCAUSTAround *11,000,000* (jews,Soviet POWs, Ethnic Poles, Romani, Disabled, Freemasons, Slovenes, Homosexuals, Jehovah'sWitnesses)The broadest definition would include 6 million Soviet civilians, raising the death toll to 17 million. A research project conducted by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum estimated that 15 to 20 million people died or were imprisoned. R.J. Rummel estimates the total democide death toll of Nazi Germany to be 21 million. Other estimates put total casualties of Soviet Union's citizens alone to about 26 million.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust#Victims_and_death_tollJAPAN BONUShttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_war_crimeshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Massacrehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731POPULATION (1939) (approx)ussr: 168,524,000usa: 130,879,718germany: 79,375,281japan: 71,380,000sweden: 6,176,
