And the quote is: "In a tv documentary about the liberation of Europe, they said that nearly 80% of the german military casualties occurred on the Eastern Front. (That would be around 2.800.000 deads."
And somehow the Russians overcame the weather well enough to make it to Berlin about the same time the allies did. Yeah, the Germans were arrogant and stupid, but if that were enough to kill 2.8 million the US would have a lot fewer politicians.
pH: BIG bucks. There's a scheme for doing isotope separation using a spin off of tokomak technology using ICH to ionize the waste.
