  German Invasion of the U
In the first phase the German Army was to engage the Soviet main force as close to the western border of the Soviet Union as possible, cut it up by encircling movements, and destroy it and so prevent the Russians from fighting a delaying action across the vast spaces of their country.
On November 22, the Soviet spearheads met at Kalach on the Don River, and the Sixth Army and approximately half of the German and Romanian troops of the Fourth Panzer Army (250,000 to 300,000 men in all) were encircled.
Soviet losses were at least twice as great and may have gone much higher without even beginning to include deaths among the civilian population resulting from German or Soviet action.

  Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Nazism

  Judging Nazism and Communism. - HighBeam Encyclopedia
For while Nazism and Communism are most unlikely to recur in the historical forms in which we knew them, the political impulses underlying them are still at work in modern political culture, indeed in the human condition itself.
(Nazism, on the other hand, subdivides chiefly into prewar and wartime periods, and public attention has focused overwhelmingly on the latter.) Finally, in the Soviet case, the Khrushchev and Brezhnev eras are distinguished from Stalinism by diminished revolutionary vigor and a much-reduced level of terror.
And of course, the Soviet "building of socialism" was not a genuine social contest but a political struggle in which the redeemer cl ass (that is, its ideological substitute, the party) was destined to eliminate all exploiting classes (namely, anyone resisting party policies).

  Communism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Communism also refers to a variety of political movements which claim the establishment of such a social organization as their ultimate goal.
However, the term 'Communism', especially when the word is capitalized, is often used to refer to the political and economic regimes under communist parties which claimed to embody the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Despite the activity of the Comintern, the Soviet Communist Party adopted the Stalinist theory of "socialism in one country" and claimed that, due to the "aggravation of class struggle under socialism," it was possible, even necessary, to build socialism in one country alone.

 Nazism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nazism is the ideology that was held by the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, commonly called the NSDAP or Nazi Party).
Nazism, on the other hand, emphasized the Aryan race or "Volk" principle to the point where the state simply seemed a means through which the Aryan race could realize its "true destiny." The Nazis themselves, however, claimed to be "German" above all, and less inspired by other ideologies or cultures.

 Anne Applebaum -- Gulag: A History Intro
Even more broadly, ";Gulag" has come to mean the Soviet repressive system itself, the set of procedures that prisoners once called the "meat-grinder": the arrests, the interrogations, the transport in unheated cattle cars, the forced labor, the destruction of families, the years spent in exile, the early and unnecessary deaths.
In the Soviet system, the dehumanization process also began at the moment of arrest, as we shall see, when prisoners were stripped of their clothes and identity, denied contact with outsiders, tortured, interrogated, and put through farcical trials, if they were tried at all.
In a peculiarly Soviet twist on the process, prisoners were deliberately "excommunicated" from Soviet life, forbidden to refer to one another as "comrade," and, from 1937 on, prohibited from earning the coveted title of "shock-worker," no matter how well they behaved or how hard they worked.

The ideologies of Nazism and Soviet Communism under Stalin viewed individual human life as a small matter easily sacrificed as needed for the greater good.

It isn’t widely mentioned, but these Americans’ real estate, tangible goods, and the rest of their possessions were seized without compensation or snapped up at firesale prices amounting to pennies on the dollar by politically connected speculators, similar to what happened to the European Jews forcibly removed by the Nazi regime.

 Forgotten Communism [Free Republic]
In the case of Communism, the malignancy was defined as property, hence as the owners of property, and hence, since evil would persist even after the liquidation of this "class," as anyone corrupted by the spirit of "capitalism," which had made its insinuating way into the ranks of the Communist party itself.
In the case of Nazism, the malignant principle was located in the so-called inferior races, first and foremost the Jews but, since evil would persist even after their extermination, in others as well, even in those elements of the "Aryan race" whose "purity" had become polluted.
And the Soviets were also among the judges at the war-crimes tribunal at Nuremberg (where they tried to foist onto the Nazis a number of crimes committed by Communist-led forces, including the 1940 massacre of thousands of Polish army officers at Katyn in Poland).

 Communism may be dead, but clearly not dead enough by Seumas Milne 16 February 2006
The ground has been well laid by a determined rewriting of history since the collapse of the Soviet Union that has sought to portray 20thcentury communist leaders as monsters equal to or surpassing Hitler in their depravity – and communism and fascism as the two greatest evils of history's bloodiest era.
The real records of repression now available from the Soviet archives are horrific enough (799,455 people were recorded as executed between 1921 and 1953 and the labour camp population reached 2.5 million at its peak) without engaging in an ideologically-fuelled inflation game.
For all its brutalities and failures, communism in the Soviet Union, eastern Europe and elsewhere delivered rapid industrialisation, mass education, job security and huge advances in social and gender equality.

Nazism and communism were dissimilar regimes, of different historical and philosophic lineages, and exhibiting distinct political profiles and contrasting international conduct.
The Soviet Union was, in a sense, a rational actor, which, in Kennan's memorable words, "can be contained by the adroit and vigilant application of counter-force at a series of constantly shifting geographical and political points, corresponding to the shifts and manoeuvres of Soviet policy."
Nazism was irrationalist and anti-Enlightenment to its core, while, as an outgrowth of the Enlightenment -- an extreme outgrowth, to be sure -- Soviet communism was amenable to the persuasion of the carrot and the stick.

Some, whose romanticized vision of communism comes via the study of textbooks, to this day fail to acknowledge the horrific consequences of tens of millions of those in Russia and Eastern Europe who were killed in the name of Soviet-style communism.

 The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Why Not the Hammer and Sickle?
However, outrage at Nazism, while justified and warranted, is not exactly breaking news or intellectually compelling discussion; Nazism has been so thoroughly debunked that it is no longer an ideology to be taken seriously.
The widespread popularity of Che, Castro, Lenin, CCCP or Marx t-shirts, and the frequent usage of the Soviet five-pointed star or the crossed hammer and sickle, are only the most obvious examples of the curious double standard between our views on Nazism and Soviet Communism.
To the tens of millions of victims of Soviet tyranny, including many thousands who fled to the United States, the Hammer and the Sickle are anything but a laughing matter; they are the symbols of a tyranny that carried out acts as depraved, bloodthirsty and merciless as anything propagated by Hitler’s Third Reich.
