5. The last I read it was 20 million soldiers and civilians died in WW2

Stalin killed millions before the war also.. The Russians in the first half of the 20th century took a beating...
That's one of the things the Russians, Russian government and Putin hate about the Allies and the US especially. They wanted us to shed our blood and treasure way before we were ready, so as to take the pressure off of them... FDR and Churchill did not play that game...
We sent them food,clothes, shoes ,trucks and planes..
It seemed the Russian plan was to throw men and material at the Nazis and wear them down..
