The original claim is that the atrocities listed here are actually Soviet atrocities that have been attributed to the Nazis. The obvious implication by this is that the Nazis did not do this.
My post is a refutation of that; it includes specific examples of the cultural destruction the Nazis engaged in, as well as violent atrocities, and it also includes wider lists or stats as ported in the Wikipedia articles, with direct links in those articles already to their sources, which are NOT necessarily subject to the same issues with Wikipedia articles. Look at those sources and attack their accuracy, not Wikipedia; at least in this instance.
The Nazis committed profound atrocities and lead campaigns of extensive attempted cultural and ethnic extermination. The Soviets also did this. All players in the war committed atrocities, yes, but there are obvious aggressors and players whose agendas were far more malicious. The two worst by far were the Soviets and the Nazis. Close behind was Imperial Japan, followed by the US and UK (more or less together) with not negligible atrocities themselves, but far from cultural or ethnic extermination. That's my overall view; I'm not fundamentally here to argue all of that because that is an exhaustively large argument, and while I could do it the time involved would be tremendous. As such, I'm only really staking the first part here. The point of the second is to show that I am not trying to hold the Nazis to a unique standard any more than any of the other factions.
Indeed, I do wish the Western European Allies had upheld their treaty with Poland and demanded its freedom from the Soviets. Had the Soviets refused I believe the proper course would be for the Allies to go to war with them; it would have been a bloodbath, yes, but I believe it would have been the right thing to do.
