Thread: Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia?

On second thought, I'd say Nazi Germany.

Why? cause I surely would have done my utmost best to kill that son of a bitch, Adolf Schiklegruber.

Ok again no argument from me....I said 6...someone else said 20million...you say 12.....I mean none of the numbers make me like them

Yes, you are correct. It was only 6 million jews. When you take into account the number of Russian civilians and civilians of other nations murdered by Hitler, the figure does approach 20 million - including most of the Russian POW's taken by the Germans.

Thats precisely what I was stating the holocaust and the jews they slaughtered...others were killied during war....americans killed civilians and so did the rest of europe and anyone in the war...the nazis targeted selected and slaughtered....but the total isnt important...its the mentality that allowed them to be able to do that....

Germany. I'm tall, blonde and blue-eyed, I'd survive the government.

but do you have at least one Jewish grandparent?

if so, life would be very difficult.

The question isn't really specific. NAZI Germany had a range of overarching policies that existed throughout the period of NAZI rule, whereas the USSR under Stalin had no such thing. Life in the USSR was completely different between, say, 1929 and 1939, or even 1929 and 1935.

The level of persecution, the general welfare of the citizenry, the freedom of expression, the extent of the secret police, pretty much everything changed significantly in very short periods of time throughout Stalin's rule, so it's not really a valid comparison.

Easy, nazi germany would be better.

The chance of getting killed is probably higher in Soviet, especially for a non-communist like me. Also, you could leave Nazi germany, it was illegal to leave soviet. You could pick your own job in Nazi Germany. In Soviet, you got allocated a job. Also, the standard of living was far superior in Nazi Germany.

The Nazis would have killed me for being a Jew.

The Soviets would have killed me for being a Jew.

Even if I wasn't a Jew, I would have demanding democacy & freedom in the USSR, so they would have killed me.

Neither, but I'd probably survive a tad bit longer in Germany.
