What does that have to do with WWII though?? The purges and collectivization took place in the 1930s and had no bearing on the Nazi plans fror WWII. Hitler was not intending to "free" people from communism after all...if I had a penny for how many times folks said Saddam's crimes were no justification for the Iraq invasion.
To our Russian friend Dmitry Markov, please try to read some of the latest research, millions of Germans were displaced after the war and a fair number killed. I can't post figures as they vary widely, but at least as many died if not more as during the Allied bombing. Still this number was far less than the civilians killed by the Nazis in Russia, Poland, Yugoslavia..indeed as I have also posted before the imbalance proportionally between civilians killed among the Axis coalition and in the Allied camp is very large.
This of course is not the only war in history this has occurred...
