While suffering 60% of the allied military losses (11 million out of 19 million).

And another 16 million civilians killed by the Nazis

Barely helped at best. At worst, they helped cultivate their existence in the first place.

Yeah, but like roaches the 14% remained and multiplied.

I totally agree with the sentiment, but I believe you misunderstand the figure, they are saying that from all the nazis killed in WWII the red army killed 86% of them, not that 86% all nazis ever were killed by the red army. That said they are fucking cockroaches and crawl around

Oh yes, I understand. Was being facetiously obtuse to take a poke at NATO. :)

Is there a source for this number, I would really like it. I gave a check on wikipedia and stuff, the number looks correct but a place with that information properly displayed will be nice.
