That's certainly a new one, where'd you get that statistic from, stormfront?
Stalin's regime is estimated to have killed ca 20 million civilians during his time in power. Hitler, it's around 12 million or so.
You can argue the figures because if you go by official government records it only comes to about eight million, but even if you believe the USSR about their own atrocities and not contemporary estimates, they're still in the same ballpark as Hitler's regime.
Where did you get those numbers from? Because over 26 million people died from the nazi invasion so the 12 million number is immediately false.
