they didn't aim to exterminate 90% of them... the worst crimes of stalin were committed against russian and ukrainian people, not against the nations commonly referred to as eastern europe.

if the ukrainians thought that nazi occupation was so much better than their experience in the soviet union they would not have waged a massive guerrilla campaign against them

only non-slavs in eastern europe are hungarians, estonians, and romanians. the rest mostly slavic. Valdincan is completely right, the Germans planned to exterminate the slavic populations of eastern europe to expand germany. I believe hitler even mentioned that 10% of the slavic population would be left to be used as slave labour.

The Russians may have not been angels but they are by far the lesser of two evils.

It actually is better translated to "Motherland", that's where the whole motherland thing comes from in popculture depictions of Russia.

Germans were masters of the Baltic states for centuries? They were part of the Russian Empire until the revolution and was part of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth before that.

Much of the implimentation of the Hunger Plan was done by the Wehrmacht. If you're going to get into that, most of the atrocities such as Katyn and terror against anti-communist entities were committed by the NKVD, not the Red Army.

Soviets were not welcoming toward German POWs but they did not exterminate them in their millions. In fact after the war East Germany was rebuilt and became the most successful economy in the Eastern Bloc, whereas in the Nazis had won they would have exterminated 80% of the population.

You're just looking at Poland there... look at the crimes committed on the entire Eastern Front. What the Wehrmacht and the SS did to Soviet citizens and POWs makes the common Western conception of the Holocaust pale in comparison.

Are you fucking serious here? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_Plan Judging from your comment history you do seem to harbour some Fascist sympathies but saying that the Soviets committed atrocities worse than the Nazis on the Eastern Front is utterly ridiculous.

Soviet hordes? Soviet troops did commit their fair share of attrocities but it was nothing compared to what the Wehrmacht did in the Soviet Union...

Neuro2 never said it was the primary reason. It certainly contributed to it though.

Not sure why the downvotes, this is entirely correct. The Soviet Union had invaded most of the Japanese empire in mainland Asia and was prepared to invade Japan proper from the North...
