In fairness, Walter is probably referring to the tens of millions of people who subsequently perished far from our well-known WW2 battles, who would not have died but for that conflict.
Pr00ne, I'm not a Churchill cheerleader but I didn't invent this operation or the quote. The lamentable treatment of Poland reflected the brutal fact that the Soviets were the ones with the tanks and troops. Unfortunately for most Poles, this meant exchanging a Nazi jackboot for a Soviet one. Going back to the Warsaw rising, many of those Polish freedom fighters who escaped being executed or tortured by the Germans were executed or tortured by the Russians.
