In short, WW2 resulted in more deaths than any event in human history
including the Black Death, the Napoleonic wars, the great Flu Pandemic
of 1918, and Pol Pot anti intellectualism cleansing or chairman Mao's
program of cultural cleansing. I have five uncles, on both my mother's
and father's side, who fought and died in WW2. When I've visited their
graves in France and Hawaii everyone I met seemed to a good
understanding of the war's cost in human life on both sides, and also
the new connotations symbols like the Swastika had taken, for better
or worse.
I don't like to be nitpicking, but this is not entirely true. According
to other sources (eg.
http://waitbutwhy.com/2013/08/the-death-toll-comparison-breakdown.html)
eg. Mongol Conquests and Mao Era was comparable to WW2 and The Black
Death was undoubtedly much worse.
