"As for the gruesome math you wish me to do, let's toss in the thirty or forty million East Germans and Ukrainians that Stalin murdered and see how the equation balances."
These numbers that Stalin supposedly killed just get bigger and bigger. Give me a reliable source for forty million Germans and Ukrainians killed after the end of the war.
You failed to answer my question, how many American lives would it have worth to capture eastern Germany. Personally, to paraphrase Bismarck, I don't think the whole of Germany would be worth the life of one American grenadier.
