Now imagine 1000 such pages, and 20 such books. That's Russia in the early 40s.

Imagine 6 books - that's the Jews in Germany.

Imagine half a book - that's the Americans who left their peaceful homes in 1942 and never came home.

I like to think in terms of stadiums, because I know exactly what 50-60k people look, sound, and pee like. In Vietnam we lost one stadium, in II we lost 10. The Russians lost 400.

The mind boggles at the scale of such loss.
