The Germans were no better than the Soviets as far as atrocities, and lest we forget, Socialism begat Fascism. Of course, during the war, many atrocities have been carried out by the invader and the invaded, as well as some of the "allies" on both sides. The Geneva Conventions (four treaties and three protocols) were meant to stop this, but during the time of war, they are ignored by some, just as the League of Nations was ignored. Worse, war is always over trade disputes, the grab for natural resources, expansionism, and greed, but WWII had a more sinister aspect to it, which was the annihilation of some ethnic groups.
