    unless one wishes to subject a certain percentage of the deaths in WW2 to Stalin’s decisionmaking

    …Which would not be entirely unreasonable. But if we’re going to do that, then we would have to do the same with Hitler and German casualties, and then you could argue that Hitler caused all of the German casualties by invading Poland.

      Well, yes, but the meme only measures number of Slavs killed, and Germans aren’t Slavic.

      If we’re counting overall deaths, it’s not even close. Hitler ‘wins’.
