1: Yet.

2: That isn’t even the sum of the Holocaust, much less combat casualties from the USSR alone which are absolutely on his head.

Edit: Tbf, the Holocaust numbers only beat that if you include Soviet POWs being genocided in the prison camps, so that is kind of double dipping.

Let him have another term and we’ll see how he measure up. And he’s up to a few 100k so far in my books.
