Yes, there were some 200,000 refugees that are not counted in the low
number. The sick thing is, we did it to help the communist enslave more of
Europe. The other sick thing is that both the Nazis and the British were
good with the low numbers; the Nazis because they didn't want to admit
that Germany was wide open to horrible carnage of allied bombers, and the
Brits because they didn't want to admit they were targeting civilians for
mass murder. The Brits did NOT just target the rail road yards.
