You're the one who seems to have a Nazi Fixation. A fixation which, oddly, precludes including comparisons to the US.... and which also seems to have no interest in providing links to support the "numbers" of those killed by one regime vs. another.
You also show a surprising lack of interest in commenting on the global-polite cal context in which the (manufactured) numbers that you are spamming were "generated". Nazi Germany was not faced with the prospect of / fact of boycotts/blockades of every possibly useful supply ... the USSR was faced with not only these prospects, but also foreign troops intervening in their territory and supporting guerilla insurrectionists.
Nazi Germany also didn't have nearly the same population of greater Russia.
(10 million of 66 million is considerably more than 12 million of 170 million. Germany in 1933 had 66.0 millions. The USSR had 170 million.) "The new Soviet Census (1939) showed a population figure of 170.6 million people, manipulated so as to match exactly the numbers stated by Stalin in his report to the 18th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party. No other censuses were conducted until 1959." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Census_(1937))
The notion that a lesser "concentration" of murders... in the face of an unequal percentage of those affected as well as kack of certifiaility of said recored murder
