I am perfectly ready and happy to question everything. I don't doubt there is a lot of propaganda around WW2 and it makes sense that it would be skewing things in favour of the Allies.
I struggle to equate Germans killed by the Allies with Hitler's genocide of the Jews however, as the Allies were at war with Hitler. They all targeted each other's civilians, those were the rules of engagement back then. Since Germany lost the war one can expect they suffered more casualties (if the numbers in the book are right!). Hitler was not at war with the Jews, there wasn't even have a Jewish state back then.
A quick search however says Russia alone suffered more than twice the total German casualties, so something doesn't add up. https://www.nationalww2museum.org/students-teachers/student-resources/research-starters/research-starters-worldwide-deaths-world-war
Where did you get the numbers for German and Allied deaths?
Paradoxically, what Israel is now doing to Palestinians is the closest thing we have seen to Hitler's persecution of Jews.
