    Fuck all governments and "leaders", so that said, I'm obviously not supporting Hitler, nor Churchill, but obviously Hitler was the underdog, surrounded by larger nations with larger forces and greater resources - so it would not have been in his interests to commit war crimes against humanity (at least no more than generic world war).

    All kinds of people died in WW2. There is probably not one tiny subdivision of mankind that has not lost anybody to WW2.
